I interviewed for the Merit Decision deadline round of the Rolling Admissions at CBS.
My interview was at a chain cafe with an alumnus of CBS. It was a blind interview and a very low stress one at that.
He began with an introduction of who he was and what he does for a living.
Then he asked if I had any questions for him while he thought of questions for me. I asked my standard questions about CBS – and he took the opportunity to pitch me about the school. I want to follow a similar career path as him, and he had lots of great tips for my time at CBS and beyond. He also talked about why he thought NYC was great. It was really insightful and helpful. I felt like I probably got more out of the interview than him!
After that, he asked one last question:
4. Why do you want to be in NYC for your MBA?
After that we chatted for a few minutes and he said he’d submit my feedback that evening. I sent him a quick follow up on the train ride home thanking him and found out I was admitted 6 days later. 🙂
