The interview lasted 30-minutes with an Adcom, she created a comfortable atmosphere throughout. The questions were a mix of fit-based and behavioral, covering both my background and motivations for pursuing an MBA. Here’s a summary of what was asked:
– How did you hear about Carlson?
– Why Carlson?
– Tell me about a time you had to change your communication style.
– Tell me about a time you used data to make a decision.
– Walk me through your CV.
– What are your short-term and long-term goals?
– What other schools are you applying to?
– What do you do for fun?
– How will you contribute to the Carlson community?
I had time at the end to ask my own questions about about how Carlson students leverage the presence of the 17 Fortune 500 companies in the Minneapolis area and what differentiates students who truly thrive in the program from those who struggle.
