My interviewer was a banker. Very friendly and personable. He stuck to the clock, asked me questions for 30 mins and gave me 15 mins to ask him Qs. For the most part, I spent the first 30 minutes explaining my reasoning behind every transition, educational and professional on my resume.
- Why did you do a Master’s degree (non-MBA)?
- Why MBA, you already have a Master’s? Why now?
- Why Stanford?
- What other schools did you apply to? Why?
- What has been your most significant accomplishment and why?
- Explain to me how you lead in your work or in some other context?
- Tell me about a time when you failed within a team.
- What was your favorite class in college?
Questions I asked the interviewer:
- How has the MBA influenced your career and life?
- What has the GSB done for you that no other b-school could?
- What was your fondest memory at the GSB?
- Given my background, how can I make the most of the Stanford MBA?
