I was interviewed by an alum - I am unsure of how Ross pairs up interviewers / interviewees, but I was luckily matched with somebody from my industry and location (leading to seamless conversation starters).
Invited to interview on 3/2 and completed the interview on 3/8.

Interview went very smoothly, the interviewer set a welcoming and warm atmosphere which made me feel much more comfortable. I also loved that almost all questions were straightforward about specific things from my application, so I basically knew how to answer them.
Questions/talking points
-Specific thing about my essay, family background and how it relates to my background and goals
-Why did I go to my first job at a Big 4 and how it related to my goals
-How did I handle the fact that my college education hadn’t provided me with the basics to work with audit, valuation
-How my participation at an Innovation and Entrepreneurship program connect to me transitioning careers to a startup
-What do you do now (had just changed jobs after sending application), what does the company do, can you give more detail on what X means?
-Can you explain more about the problems the industry faces
-Question about my volunteer experiences during college, if I had done anything since. How do I choose the institutions I work with or donate to
-What about other industries, if you were not in industry Y where would you be? what if during the mba you do an internship, where would that be?
-Anything you wanted me to have asked you? follow up questions
Done!
I don’t exactly remember all questions but this is how much I can remember and hope it helps you.
Admitted 🙂
