Georgetown McDonough Interview Questions & Report: Round 2 / First-Year Student / Zoom
Resume-based interview with first-year student. Interview was very conversational with the following questions:
Why Georgetown McDonough?
Why MBA?
Short term and long term goals?
Talk about your leadership style.
Still awaiting admissions decision, which will be released in mid-March. Interview was conversational with a handful of prepared questions and the interviewer was able to share about the program and the clubs/organizations offered on campus. Was surprised by how many “Centers” on policy and business offered by McDonough as a partnership between students/faculty and business leaders. Notably the Center for Financial Markets and Policy has still been very active hosting panels and discussions in the midst of the virtual environment. Since the interviewer has your resume, I would recommend limiting the amount of time discussing your resume and focus on what may not have come up in your essays or application. Looking forward to the admissions decisions in March.
