SMU Cox Interview Report: Round 2 / Adcom / Skype

Last Updated Jan 15, 2013 by Clear Admit

The following SMU Cox interview report was submitted to Clear Admit by a Round 2 applicant.

The interview was a good experience. I had a Skype interview with a member from adcom. He was very friendly and interview was basically conversational. He already knew everything about me through my essays.

I was asked the following questions

Tell me about yourself?
Why MBA at this point of time?
Why Cox?
You have lot of experience in social service. What do you want to do in future to give back to the society?
What are my short/long term goals?
How will you achieve you short term and long term goals?
What was your job profile in real estate firm you worked in and why did you leave that job?
Which are your target companies post-MBA?

What surprised me? I thought I would be nervous during the interview. But the interviewer made me feel so comfortable and it felt like a normal conversation throughout.

What didn’t surprise me? The questions were basic interview questions and all they wanted to know was whether I was clear about my goals.

Conclusion about Cox:

Cox is a great school. I have heard a lot about the schools on blogs and internet. The interview experience was great. They offer good scholarships and I am awaiting the decision now. It would be a great opportunity for me to study in SMU Cox with scholarship.

After your interview, be sure to add your first-hand interview report to the Clear Admit Interview Archive.
