It was a standard interview, and lasted about 45 mins. Was asked on why MBA, Why Columbia and goals (both short-term and long-term). He asked to elaborate a bit more on my long-term goals to understand the context, and few follow-ups on that. The tone was very conversational, and felt like the interviewer was really trying to understand my goals. One thing that threw me off a bit was my plan B if my plan A goals don’t workout. No behavioral questions were asked. At the end, he asked if I wanted to add anything, and I mentioned how I plan on contributing to the CBS community.
Overall, the interviewer was extremely warm and friendly, and has been a very pleasant experience.
