The interview is blind – they only have access to your resume. As far as the questions go, there weren’t any curveballs; I got ones regarding obstacles I’ve overcome, short/long-term goals, how I work in diverse settings, why Owen, why MBA, strengths/weaknesses, etc. There was about 10 minutes at the end to ask the interviewer some questions of my own. Overall, it wasn’t a tough interview, but I would have liked if it were a bit more conversational.

It was between HBS and Columbia. After more research, It was apparent that the overall quality of the students at HBS is significantly higher (consistent with the brand). The Columbia admits wanted the job I already had when I was 22 lol. While the investing program was interesting, it’s overhyped. None of them are getting those jobs. The buy side is reserved for HBS. I would caution anyone on here who lives on the east coast to going anywhere other than HBS and maybe Wharton. I spoke to a lot of people and it seems almost like a negative on a resume going to a second tier school because that signals that you your arnt a 10/10. Just something to think about
