Yale SOM MBA Interview Questions & Report / Round 1 / Second-year student / on-campus
Interviewed on-campus on Friday and attended the whole day activity including a campus tour and a faculty presentation.
The interviewer was a second-year student, very friendly and explained the process at the beginning of the interview.
The latter lasted 30 min with the last 5 min for questions and answers.
The questions were the following:
1. Present yourself briefly.
2. What brings you here and why MBA now?
3. Tell me about a time you had to manage a team and how did you react?
4. Is there anything you wish you could have done differently?
5. Tell me more about your quote? How does it relate to you?
6. Tell me about a time you did not agree with a feedback from your supervisor.
7. Do you have any questions for me?
