UVA Darden Interview Questions & Report: Round 2 / Second-Year Student / Zoom
My interviewer came across as warm and friendly, and eased into the actual interview with some small talk beforehand. The questions went roughly as follows:
1.) Tell me about yourself; include your educational/professional background, why you want an MBA, and why you chose to apply to Darden. The interviewer followed up with some clarifying questions about my atypical work history.
2.) Tell me about a conflict you had with someone, how you handled it, what you learned from the conflict, and how you’ve applied these lessons to other situations going forward.
3.) Tell me about your leadership style; you can talk about a specific time you acted as a leader, or describe some leadership qualities you exhibit.
4.) What do you like to do for fun?
5.) Do you have any questions for me? The interviewer was very open and honest in answering my questions.
Overall, the interview was a pleasant experience and went as I expected, based on what I had previously read about Darden interviews.
