Stanford GSB Interview Questions & Report: Round 2 / Alum / Zoom
For my interview, I was paired with an alum from the same industry and location. They only had access to my resume. I contacted the alum and we set up a call ~8 days after I was notified to interview (what a pleasant surprise that was!). My interviewer was very... Read more »
Chicago Booth Interview Questions & Report: Round 2 / Alumnus / Zoom
The interviewer set the tone from the beginning that it would be “casual” and not a business interview. We started out with small talk for ~5-10 minutes and he gave background on himself as well as a few of his fondest memories at Booth. -Tell me about yourself. -Follow up... Read more »
Georgetown McDonough Interview Questions & Report: Round 2 / Adcom / Zoom
Interviewed with an adcom member who isn’t full-time, but just helps with interviews, which meant that she couldn’t really answer my questions about the experience, current culture, DEI, etc., but it was still a good conversation. Very Q&A format, she didn’t respond much to any of my answers. 1) Tell... Read more »

UCLA Anderson Interview Questions & Report: Round 2 / Current Student / Zoom
I had a Zoom interview with a current student. The interviewer had a list of questions to go through and did not introduce themselves at all.

UCLA Anderson Interview Questions & Report: Round 2 / Second-Year Student / Zoom
It was really conversational and easy to get through. We did 30 minutes of Q&A then ran out of time so I could only ask 2 questions. 1) Walk me through your resume. 2) Why business school? 3) Why now? 4) What’s your plan B? 5) What industry within consulting... Read more »
Chicago Booth Interview Questions & Report: Round 2 / Alumna / Zoom

UCLA Anderson Interview Questions & Report: Round 2 / Second-Year Student / Zoom
30 minute Zoom with a second-year student. General hellos at the beginning but then right into it (questions below). A bit tricky to gauge how I was doing because the interviewer was taking notes and therefore looking down while I spoke. –> If anyone knows more about how the second-years... Read more »
UVA Darden Interview Questions & Report: Round 2 / AdCom / Zoom
Just finished Darden interview. Interviewer was extremely nice and friendly.

The questions asked: 1) Tell me about yourself (family/background/interests/career). 2) Why MBA? Why Darden? 3) Leadership... Read more »
Michigan Ross Interview Questions & Report: Round 2 / Alumnus / Zoom
Very direct interview style, without a lot of conversation. I was surprised at how abruptly we sent from one question to the next.

CBS MBA Interview Questions & Report: Round 2 / Alum / Skype
Resume-based alumni interview. Very straightforward and interviewer was friendly. Standard questions (Why CBS, why MBA, why now, leadership examples) were asked. No surprises. Seemed like an overall assessment of fit, so I prioritized building a solid relationship with the alum throughout the interview.
CBS Interview Questions & Report: Round 2 / Alumnus / Zoom
I was emailed with the interview invitation and matched with someone based on location. I matched with an alum from the Class of 2020. It was meant to be a blind interview, meaning that it was resume-based and he had not seen my application. I set up the meeting on... Read more »
