I just finished my interview with an alum and it was exactly what I expected it to be… no curve balls. The interview lasted about 40-45 minutes and it was a friendly chat. I guess he had a list of questions on him that he needed to ask, but the conversation flowed organically. Here’s a bunch of questions that were asked:
– Tell me about yourself
– Tell me about your current role at work
– Why MBA
– Why Duke
– Tell me about some constructive feedback that you received
– Tell me about the time you showed your leadership skills (in and out of work)
– What do you think makes a team successful
– What is your role in a team
– What kind of a leader are you
– What are your career plans
– What makes you think this is the right time for an MBA
Overall, a nice friendly chat with a chilled out vibe. No curve balls and no unexpected questions.
