Duke / Fuqua MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 1 / Second Year Student / On Campus

The interview was blind (the interviewer has seen my resume only) with a second year student. It was very conversational, and the interviewer did a good job making me feel comfortable by asking some questions about my personal interests.

Question List:
-> Tell me a little about yourself (i.e. Walk me through your resume)
-> Why MBA and why MBA now?
-> Why Fuqua?
-> What are your short-term goals?
-> What are your long-term goals?
-> What motivates you?
-> What do you think of feedback?
-> Tell me about a time that you led a team.
-> How can you contribute to the class?
-> Do you have any questions for me?

Bottom Line: The interview was a pleasant experience and nothing about it caught me off guard. It was very relaxed and it was appropriate to wear business casual attire as it states in the interview email. The school really wants to hear how you can contribute to the class/Team Fuqua and what makes you want to go to Fuqua. The experience tells me that they value the Team Fuqua attitude and want to make sure that whoever they accept is willing to join and contribute.
