Stanford GSB MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 1 / Off-Campus

I interviewed with a Stanford alumnae. We met at her office; the interview lasted about an hour. She was in business casual, but I wore a jacket and dress.

  • Tell me about your background/walk me through your resume
  • Why MBA? Why now? Why Stanford?
  • Tell me about a time you faced an obstacle and what did you do about it?
  • Tell about a time you streamlined operations/made things more efficient? What did you do? How did you measure its success? What metrics did you use?
  • Tell me about a time you worked with a difficult team member or manager.
  • Tell me about a time you faced an ethical situation.
  • Tell me about a time you had your beliefs challenged.
  • What book are you currently reading?

That’s all I remember. I think those were all of the questions! Good luck everyone!
