The following Michigan / Ross MBA interview questions & report were submitted to Clear Admit by a Round 2 applicant. Good luck to them!
Ross is my first interview this year and I got in. The interviewer works as a banker at Beijing.
- Walk me through your résumé.
- Why MBA/ Why now/ Why Ross? These questions almost naturally combined together. He asked if I have applied to the dual-degree at Erb Institute. I didn’t.
- We then discussed something about my current employer’s business. What’s your company’s business about? What are the disadvantages of your company’s products? Why some end users still prefer to use your company’s products?
- He asked for more clarification of a recent cross-sector transition on my job.
- Spotted something about investor relationship management on my resume and asked for details.
- Then we moved on to behavior questions. Tell me a case where you resolve a conflict within a team. Tell me a situation where you need to change your own idea. Give me an example of you mentoring others.
- In the end, he asked for one of my characteristics that would enable me to contribute to Ross.
Upon reflection, I believe that to show how you fit the school is more important than convincing the interviewer how the school’s resources are going to help you achieve your career goals. Especially when the alumni have graduated for many years and they really don’t know what’s going on specifically at school.
