My interview was with a second year student. The conversation was fairly straight forward. No tough questions at all.
- Go over your resume.
- Before I finished with the first question, she asked me about why I needed to pursue an MBA, I also gave the answer of why now
- Then the typical: Why Yale
All the above went in about fifteen minute (I felt, did not have time to watch time), then it was time for me to ask questions. I asked about the most enjoyable class, the school and outdoor activities, but seemed she was not active in the last.
The interview was weird as it was so short. When I came out of it it was less than thirty minutes and other interviewees had a similar experience because they all came out about the same time as I did. I checked for some afternoon interviewees and they all lasted less than thirty minutes.
I think I gave pretty good reasons for why Yale and I hope that will make me stand out.
I also had the tour of campus by two current students. I had a finance class which was boring because I lacked that background. Little student interactions and some questions asked by the professors simply hung in the air with nobody dared to answer. The prof had to pick people to answer them. Later I found out that that is probably true for all finance classes in all schools.
