UC Berkeley Haas MBA Interview Questions & Report: Round 1 / Alumnus / Off-Campus
UC Berkeley Haas MBA Interview Questions & Report by a Round 1 applicant off-campus
Interviewed with a Haas alumnus in my area about 2 weeks prior to R1 decision date. Laid-back, relaxed interview atmosphere. Blind (only resume available) interview. Interview lasted 45 minutes. Pretty standard interview questions and nothing too difficult or out of the ordinary.
Interview questions:
- Walk me through your resume.
- What are your short and long-term career goals.
- Why an MBA? Why now?
- How do you approach dealing with different types of people?
- What is one of your weaknesses?
- What questions do you have for me?
- Awaiting admissions decision on 12/13 for R1.
