I had a R1 admissions interview in November at an alumn’s office. These are some of the questions and issues we addressed in the interview:
- Take me through your resume. Then addressing how I made decisions to pursue different job opportunities, the biggest professional challenge I’ve faced and how I addressed it, and my biggest accomplishment
- Why MBA?
- Why Stanford?
- What is your leadership style?
- What would you do as a Plan B if your first choice for your career didn’t work out?
The interview went smoothly, and the interviewer was friendly and complimentary. We had a great discussion about what he took away from his MBA experience. The interviewer was a humble, impressive, and nice guy.
