I was invited to interview for R3. Since I was going to be taking a day off to go to Washington D.C., I opted to sit in on a finance class. The student assigned to me was very helpful in giving me her insights on why she chose Georgetown over her other choices.
My interview was with a first year student. Because Georgetown shares the interviewer’s name in advance, I was able to look him up and get insight on the student clubs he was involved in on campus.
Interview lasted about 40 minutes. Here are details:
- Blind interview (I was asked to bring in a copy of my resume)
- Tell me about yourself (resume walkthrough)
- How is an MBA important in attaining your short/long term goals
- Why an MBA now (why leave current job)
- What did I like about Georgetown
- What do I do in my free time
- Difficult situation I had to navigate through
- What student organizations I would get involved in and why? What position will I aim for in the organization?
- Interviewer’s background
- Opportunity to ask questions
