I had a very friendly and relaxed on campus interview today with an awesome 2nd year student today. she spent the first 5 minutes congratulating me on getting here and we spent the rest of the time going through my resume. No surprise questions… just why MBA, why Chicago. It’s very conversational and interactive. she also shared a lot of her experience at GSB. I had been a little bit nervous about on-campus interviewers by reading some previous reviews(but I also read that many alumni are difficult to get hold of, so I made a difficult decision). Turned out that my interviewer was extremely friendly and easy-going. she tried very hard to keep 30-minutes time limit so I only got to ask a couple of questions. Well, I am keeping my fingers crossed and hope I will make it to GSB. (even though it’s R-3).
