Interviewer started by introducing herself and giving a long-winded explanation of her why MBA / why now / why Booth.
1. Tell me about yourself.
2. Proudest accomplishment?
3. Failure?
4. Strengths and weaknesses?
5. 3 words you’d use to describe your leadership style.
6. 3 words your colleagues would use to describe your leadership style (accidentally contradicted myself by mentioning one of my weaknesses here, but quickly corrected it by framing it as a sign of improvement).
7. Why MBA now?
8. Why Booth?
9. What are you most excited about the MBA journey?
10. How would you describe success at the end of these two years?
