UCLA / Anderson MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 2 / On-campus / Second-year Student

I was interviewed by both the associate director of admissions and a 2nd year student, but the whole thing lasted only for half hour. I felt a little rushed overall, but I think I did ok because the questions weren’t anything difficult to answer. The questions that I remember:

  • Describe everything you did that has brought you here
  • Your career goals
  • Your extracurricular activities while in college
  • Briefly describe your extracurricular activities out of college
  • Why Anderson?
  • What will you contribute at Anderson?
  • Describe a challenge that you have overcome.
  • What do you see as a potential weakness/concern when you study at Anderson?

I remember doing very well in the 2nd half of the interview (why Anderson type questions). I could have been a little more concise with my answers. I too asked a lot of questions about Anderson’s AMR program, ability to take courses in other departments, internship opportunities, student clubs, etc. I won’t say the interview was 100% conversational. It was a little more formal than that.
