Berkeley Haas Interview Questions & Report: Round 1 / Alumnus / On-Campus

Last Updated Nov 15, 2022 by Clear Admit

I went through an interview day at the Haas campus. There was a lunch, campus tour, student panel, and a team building session with fellow candidates who were there, followed by a reception/happy hour. All in all it was about a 7-hour long day including the interview and a great time meeting fellow prospective students as well as current students!

My interview was a standard 45 minute interview with an alumnus in the middle of the events mentioned above. My interviewer was incredibly friendly and took the time to put me at ease before getting into the questions by going into their background and experiences at Haas first before asking me questions.

Questions were fairly standard, and my interviewer commented on my answers and it was more back and forth like a conversation vs. me just answering questions:

1. Tell me about yourself.
2. Why MBA and why Haas?
3. How will you contribute to DEI at Haas?
4. Tell me about a time when you had to overcome a challenge on a team.
5. Anything else you want to mention?
6. Any questions for me?
