I interviewed with an alum. The interview began after some initial chit chat and lasted for 45 minutes. The interviewer was extremely friendly. The interview itself was more of a dialogue rather than a set of questions followed by my answers and his taking notes. Here are the questions that I was asked:
- What has been your most rewarding experience among your two jobs and education? Why is this so?
- What have you learnt from this experience? How have you evolved as a person?
- Why do you feel the need for an MBA when your career seems to be going so well?
- How will you need to evolve personally to move from your short-term career goal to your long-term career goal?
- What is your perception of what an MBA program provides?
- What other schools have you applied to or heard from?
- Elaborate on your extra-curricular interests. What prompted you to get involved in these activities?
After the interview, I asked my interviewer a few questions about his experiences. After the interview, he sent me an e-mail telling me that he had submitted his report to Stanford.
