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

I met at the office of the alumni interviewer; he was extremely friendly and we chatted for about 5 minutes to break the ice.

  • Went through resume chronologically, with branching questions every so often
  • We had similar interests in organizational development, so that was a tangent
  • He had worked for a current customer of ours; another tangent
  • This entire aspect lasted about 35 minutes, and was simply a casual conversation
  • Then – why MBA, why now
  • Talk about activities outside of work
  • Any questions for him

All told, interview went about 75 minutes, which I think was more a function of the interviewer than any amazing answers I was giving.
