This was a quite basic interview. We started talking on our way from the admissions office to the interview room so it set a really conversational format for the interview.
Once we arrived he asked (I am formalizing the questions but again, it really sounded conversational)
- Walk me through your resume
- Why MBA and why Tuck/Goals short term and long term?
- What’s your experience working in teams?
- What are your strengths? Weaknesses?
- 3 months down the road in the MBA program, what will your teammates say about you?
- Tell me about a team failure.
- What will you bring to the community at Tuck?
- Do you have any questions for me?
Honestly, it was exactly what the essays were about-the interview is blind so the interviewer has not seen your essays. I think they like to check your story for consistency and make sure you are not a psycho. The interviewer was really friendly and he took a significant amount of notes during the interview, and even when I asked questions he took some notes about what the aspects of the MBA program I was asking about… One piece of advice: do your homework!
