The student who did my interview did not have access to my application, only had my resume and viewed it before our interview. Altogether it was very laid back and more of a conversation with a second year student, not very formal. Questions were: 1. Introduce yourself and summarize your experience 2. What makes you…

Pretty casual and straightforward, was asked the basic why MBA / why Kellogg questions etc. I actually found these questions on a previous Clear Admit report and they were all nearly the same, so do ample prep for these and I think you should be pretty good for an interview for any school tbh. 1.…

Interviewer clearly conveyed that the purpose of this interview was to check whether I would be a good fit with the school. He had gone through my application. Majority of the interview was based around “Why Cambridge?” I feel I was appropriately able to showcase the alignment between my own collaborative values as well as…

Interviewer was warm and engaging, though I could tell she was trying to mask her expressions. Honestly, I anticipated more questions and more TMAT questions, but maybe I was just rambling too long. Interview lasted about 35m. Very standard questions with the exception of 4, which I thought was interesting. 1. Walk me through your…

The interview was not as conversational as everyone said it would be. It appeared as if it was the student’s first interview ever, so she read questions off her laptop the entire time and didn’t appear to listen to my answers. She constantly interrupted me and asked questions I had already answered. Questions were as…

It was a mixture of a resumé- and application-based interview with fairly standard questions: Tell us about yourself. Why do you want to study here? What makes you a good candidate? Can you tell us about a time where you had to deliver bad news? The only diversion from the typical script came in a…

Interview was held on a weekday afternoon via Zoom. Woman interviewing me was not an alum, but rather a part-time employee on adcom, from what I understood. We had a friendly chat to start things out about New York. Then she wanted to make sure we had plenty of time, so she got to the…

Like another applicant said, this was my roughest and most stressful interview. It was an hourlong call with an alum and it was 100% behavioral questions (other than at the end – the typical why MBA / why now question). He interrupted me every time I started a story to dig deeper into what I…

Was sent interviewer name + email in advance, so was able to look her up on LinkedIn. She was great at making me feel comfortable and explained that Stanford was looking for very specific attributes in my answers, so she would likely interrupt and ask follow-ups. Interview ran about 65 mins, including time for questions.…

After the TBD I had a 10 minute one-on-one interview. The adcom asked just 3 questions. Why MBA? Why Wharton? What other clubs and activities do you plan to join? Then I had time to ask her questions.

I interviewed in late Oct 2022 with an alum that had a very similar background to mine. A lot of questions focused on my current work and industry since we had that in common. Besides that there were typical and expected behavioral questions: -Why an MBA? -Why LBS? -Why London? -Why an MBA now? -How…

Usual questions, walk me through your resume, why MBA, why UNC, short- and long-term goals. Tell me about a constructive feedback you received, a challenge at work and a time I saw someone being marginalized. The interview was only 20 minutes due to tech challenges. Switched to a call and there was no time for…
