Cornell / Johnson MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 1 / Adcom / On-Campus

My interview was pretty straightforward. It didn’t take much time and ended in just 15 minutes. The environment was relaxing and not as tense as I thought it would be. The interviewer looked experienced, but he asked things nicely and in a friendly way. First of all he was interested in knowing about my background even when he had my resume. He wanted to hear it from me.

He asked if I had a job and if so, how my interactions were at the job I had. He wanted to know why I had left it and what my future plans are. He was interested in my hobbies as well and asked questions like “What I like to do most when I am free or alone,” and “What makes me happy,” etc.

He also wanted to know the reason that why I chose MBA. Lastly, he presented me with a small situation with a problem and asked how I would handle it if I had to.
