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.
