Had my interview yesterday on campus with Jessica Luchenta. Fairly standard format – it was conversational but not too relaxed. The usual suspects – “Why MBA, why now, why Anderson, teamwork example, challenge you overcame, how has that shaped you, clubs you’d participate in, what would you do for fun etc. outside classwork…” and one that threw me for a minute, “Tell me about a disappointment in your life.” She seemed to relate to what I was saying, at least a bit, and clearly appreciated that I had flown out from NY for the interview. She also noted the students that I’d spoken with – I set up an informal chat/lunch for myself w/the current president of the Entertainment Management Association, and obviously she knew the guy quite well. Took a TON of notes.
After lunch, I wandered about the campus taking pictures and sticking my nose into buildings. Students were all very warm and friendly, and the facilities were astonishing. Top of the line stuff. Anderson students I met were a nice combination of ambitious gunners and well-balanced folk.
