Texas McCombs MBA Admissions Connection: Round 1 / Second-Year Student / Zoom
Questions Asked: Only one: “Why McCombs?” Interview Experience & Vibe: I purposely matched with a second-year student who shared my non-traditional background and was a fellow in a prestigious McCombs program. This allowed me to ask highly targeted questions about transitioning to traditional recruiting pipelines and understanding how I could be a part of said prestigious program. The overall vibe was warm, friendly, and encouraging, solidifying my confidence in choosing McCombs. Advice to Future Applicants: Dig deep into the long-term goals and core values of both McCombs and the broader UT Austin community. Strongly aligning my application with these values Read more

For context, I am looking to pivot from engineering into cleantech industry. I might be missing couple of questions in the list below. 1) How did you get to know about Stanford MBA program? 2) What specifically did you like about the MBA program? 3) Why is this the right time for you to pursue Stanford MBA program? 4) Why do you want to give up your well-established career/job and pursue a new path? 5) Are you Read more

INSEAD MBA Interview Questions & Report: Round 1 / Alumnus / Off-Campus
R1 alum interview, off-campus in-person, ran about an hour. Very conversational and felt more like a chat than an evaluation. It was resume-based, and felt that he clearly read mine. Opened with Tell me about yourself, then moved through Why MBA/Why Now, Why INSEAD, short- and long-term goals, strengths/weaknesses, and what I’d contribute to the class. Two behavioral questions: Tell me about a time I had to face failure and asked me to share an instance in which I lead a team/tough situations. What surprised most was the question about why I was applying from Vietnam as an Indian national. Read more

Note:

Wild journey since getting Waitlisted post-interview Round 1. Gave several updates, and got the phone call on 5/22. Had to decline it because they gave no $ and I'm holding a very good scholarship at Johnson. Best of luck to those still waiting, but if you get off the list be ready to pay sticker price.
