My interview was a personal one with a student. The interview was very general. A few questions were asked about my goals and why Marshall etc. (What are your short- term and long-term post MBA goals? How will USC Marshall help you achieve these goals) but after that we started discussing my personal life (“A challenging international experience?”,”A personal or professional setback”, “An entrepreneur you admire”) and then more random stuff, like cloud computing and Spanish language. So according to me, when you’ve got an interview, it means that you’re already a good contender and they just want to get to know you as a person.
