The interview was very conversational. I really felt like the interviewer was genuinely interested in learning about my experience and asked many clarifying questions. The questions below are just what I could remember:
He spent a few moments introducing his career and experience at Booth.
Questions:
- How did you get to where you are today?
- What are your three strengths and three areas of improvement?
- Detailed / specifics about my resume (team management & collaboration/diversity)
- What is your 5-yr 10-yr plan and how does Booth fit into that?
- Asked more details about my desired academic path at Booth
- Why an MBA?
- Have you considered pursuing a PhD? (I come from a research background.)
- How will you contribute to the Booth community?
He left about 10 minutes to answer any questions on my end (3 Qs total). Overall great experience!
