It was a relaxed interview, it was alum vs alum, application based. I was asked a lot about myself: hobbies, what books I liked to read, if I liked to study alone or preferred to study in groups, if I had any leadership skills, why I chose that School and not another, the way I was going to support myself economically speaking. What I thought were my weaknesses, and how I could improve them.
I was kind of surprised that they didn’t ask many questions of regarding the MBA itself, but I left the interview feeling confident.
I think the school is really great, I think they value very much one’s personality apart from performance.
