The interviewer picked me up from the waiting area and we headed off into one of the admissions offices so the whole situation was very informal. Questions:
- Walkthrough of resume. (He interrupted me to ask me about some specific details of certain international experiences and what I’d learnt from them).
- Why MBA? Why now? This was the standard long term/short term goals question.
- Why Tuck? I spoke about some experiences I’d had speaking to Tuck students and alumni. He happened to know my student contact so we spent sometime chatting about that.
- What was your greatest accomplishment?
- Example of a great leader, and what do you think made him great?
- After your first year how would your team mates at Tuck describe you?
- Finally he asked about a detail from the extra-curricular section of my resume.
We ended on a light note chatting about what his MBA experience had been like, about Tuck and Dartmouth in general.
Overall tips – know your resume, know why you want to go to Tuck specifically. also be very clear about why you want to leave your city X and move to Hanover.
