The textbook 30 minute, blind admissions interview. After some small talk, the interviewer went right into questions, skipping any sort of resume rundown. It was clear that the interviewer was following a script for the most part. Some of the questions, to the best of my recollection, were:
- Why MBA?
- Why Ross?
- Why now?
- Has there ever been a time when you had to coach someone who wasn’t performing well at work?
- Which clubs and activities are you interested in at Ross?
- Any questions for me?
The interviewer was quite pleasant and friendly and took copious notes. There was no branching out into other subjects, so if you’re looking to get some other information in, you may want to find a way to shoehorn it into one of the questions above. In my case, I used the “clubs and activities” question to touch upon one of my hobbies.
In short, if you have the basics down, you shouldn’t have too much trouble with the Michigan adcom interview.
