Stanford GSB Interview Questions & Report: Round 1 / Alumnus / Virtual

Last Updated Nov 29, 2022 by Clear Admit

The interview was formal, but still casual. We had a minute or two of small talk before the interviewer jumped right into it, giving me background on himself, allowing me to ask him questions about his professional experiences. Then from there we jumped into my background and, through conversation, he asked me some probing questions. He was less worried about what I did and more interested in the introspective aspects.
