Although it definitely felt like an interview, Adcom was SO nice. Everyone on campus was really nice and you could feel how great the community was. I’m so glad I went in person! She didn’t start with the typical question like “Tell me about yourself” or “Walk me through your resume.” Rather, she started with asking me why I chose the current industry I’m in, which surprised me. Other questions she asked included:

  • Tell me about a time you failed.
  • Tell me about a project that you did well on, but never want to do again.
  • Short-term and long-term goals?
  • What I’ve done to explore my goals?
  • Why Johnson?
  • Why MBA?
  • How do I plan on getting an internship and job post-MBA?
  • What is my leadership style?
  • What are my greatest achievements to date?
  • Anything you want to tell Adcom that we haven’t touched on?
  • Any questions for me?
