Welcome back to From the MBA Interview Archives, where we highlight the most in-depth and insightful MBA interview reports submitted to the Clear Admit Archive!
You still have some time to earn a $10 Amazon Gift for submitting a Yale SOM, NYU / Stern, Stanford GSB, Dartmouth / Tuck, Michigan / Ross Interview Report. The eligibility deadline is tomorrow (Sunday, January 31, 2015) at 11:59PM EST. See eligibility requirements at the end of this post.
The following is an excerpt from a Stanford GSB Interview Report we received this week:
“As we sat in the quiet cafe, she apologized for being late and explained how the interview would go. She said it’ll be a behavioral interview, that it is blind, and asked for a paper copy of my résumé. She said that nothing I say will be taken at face value, but that she’ll dive deep into the experiences. She said we have 45 minutes for this including 10 minutes for me to ask her questions. She said Stanford discourages for interviewer and candidate to be in touch post-interview, at the least until the results are out, and that she’ll not be able to give any feedback about how the interview went. Said she’ll introduce herself, then move on to me. Once I gave her my résumé, she quickly glanced through it and seemed to have profiled my work-experience.
