The interview was very scripted. The interviewer refused to shake hands due to germs (corona-virus is currently going around for those who read this in the future). She had a checklist of questions and took notes of some of what I said. She did not record my entire answers, presumably only what she felt was necessary to write up her report. Despite the scripted format, she was very friendly and the interview was somewhat conversational. She had not seen my application, and questions were all relatively straightforward: work experience, behavioral questions, why McCombs, goals, etc. As a re-applicant, I noticed that the questions had not changed from the year previous. They also ask what other schools you are applying to (yield concerns I assume). Toward the end of the interview she told me she felt I was a good fit for the school, a good sign compared to a previous experience (different school) where I was told my career goals did not align with the program.

Indian male, with US undergrad, and 5.5 years of work experience. Applied to full time programs two years ago, but didn't work out. I made the career pivot into the industry I wanted to post-MBA (Climate Tech). I want to keep working and get an MBA at the same time hence I chose weekend programs.
