USC Marshall MBA Interview Questions & Report: Round 2 / Adcom / Zoom
I interviewed with a member of the admissions committee this week. I do not believe she had seen my application, only my resume. My interview lasted 30 minutes. It was not on Microsoft Teams (as noted in the interview invite), but on Zoom.
- Walk me through your resume.
- Do you oversee anyone at your current job?
- What leadership opportunities have you had?
- What do you attribute to the success of your career?
- Why do you want an MBA? What are your post-MBA goals?
- Why Marshall?
- What will you bring to Marshall?
- Have you talked to any students or alumni?
- What is one soft skill that you are working to improve on?
- What are your top three strengths?
- How would your friends describe you?
- Is there anything more I should know about you?
- Do you have any questions for me?
