I interviewed on Jan 28th, 2006, a Super Saturday. I interviewed with a recent alum. As others have mentioned, it was a blind interview; I gave my interviewer my resume when I got there. Some questions:
- Walk me through your resume (starting with college). This included sub questions like why did you choose your major, why did you make that job transition, what made you interested in that, etc
- What are your post-MBA career goals?
- What are your two weaknesses? Can you give me examples?
- What do you do outside of work?
My interviewer also focused a lot on the “why” questions – why I chose to do X, what made me interested in Y. I thought the interview generally went well, but of course, it’s hard to tell.
My advice would be to: #Know your resume inside and out
- Understand your goals clearly
- Understand specifically why you need an MBA to achieve your goals (as opposed to going into consulting or staying at your current job, for example)
- Understand why you have made the choices you have – be able to weave the story between the pieces on your resume
Good luck!
