UVA Darden Interview Questions & Report: Round 2 / Adcom / Zoom
The interview was just like I had expected based on other interview reports! It was conducted blind (she had not even seen my resume), so make sure to convey everything you would want to from your resume and give background behind things (ie. they won’t even know when you graduated... Read more »
UVA Darden Interview Questions & Report: Round 2 / Second-Year Student / Zoom
The interview was very conversational and my interviewer was very personable. Lasted almost an hour. The interview was completely blind, he hadn’t even seen my resume.

UVA Darden Interview Questions & Report: Round 2 / Adcom / Zoom
This interview was with a member of the admissions committee. You don’t know who it is until you receive an email an hour prior, with the interviewer’s name. I recommend you read up on their background. It is a straightforward conversation that they want you to drive. It is a... Read more »

This interview was with a second-year student, or a Tuck Admissions Associate (TAA, https://www.tuck.dartmouth.edu/mba/blog/get-to-know-the-tuck-admissions-associates-program).

UVA Darden Interview Questions & Report: Round 2 / Adcom / Zoom
The interview was the Darden style that I was expecting. This is an interviewee-led interview.

Darden / Mid-January 2021 interview. The interview was pretty straightforward since I was expecting the Darden structure.

Yale SOM Interview Questions & Report: Round 1 / Second-Year Student / Zoom
Was a typical zoom interview. You enter the call at your scheduled time. Blind interview by a second-year student. Seems randomly chosen, regardless of your background. 1.

Dartmouth Tuck Interview Questions & Report: Round 2 / Second-Year Student / Zoom
Felt pretty informal. My guess is that these interviews are largely assessing fit, since fit is a huge deal for Tuck and the 2nd-year students conduct them. I got the sense that this was more about “can I imagine you sitting next to me in class” than “will you crack... Read more »

I was waitlisted without an interview. Just finished the pre-recorded video interview that is required after accepting the waitlist.
