Harvard MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 2 / AdCom / On-Campus

The following Harvard MBA Admissions Interview summary was provided by a recent applicant: I had my interview with an AdCom committee member and one observer on campus. The interview was 30 minutes long and was a very good conversation rather than an interview in a strict sense. The interview member comes to fetch you and then told me that there are no right answers and its just a conversation to get to know me better. We dove right in and was asked a lot of questions Read more

Oxford Saïd MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 3 / AdCom / Off Campus

The interview took place at a business in downtown San Francisco with a member of the admissions teams. It was clear they had read my entire profile and knew my post-grad goals well. It was a formal interview but it was also very conversational and welcoming; you can tell the admissions team wants to engage with you on a deeper level to see if you are a good fit for the program. I had a low GMAT Quant score that the interviewer asked about, which I had been expecting, so I had an answer prepared in regards to how I'd still succeed in the program. I was asked about my experience with Oxford, the Open Day I attended, my work experience, my goal organizations and what I had done to research my post-grad goals/ career path. Be prepared to explain what unique qualities you'd bring to the program. Read more

Berkeley / Haas Interview Report: Round 2 / Alumnus / On Campus

The following Berkeley / Haas interview report was submitted to Clear Admit by a Round 2 applicant. Good luck to them! I received an invitation to Haas’ February Super Saturday on-campus event back in January. The current students who facilitated the various sessions throughout the day were very outgoing, friendly and engaged. It felt like a very inclusive, collaborative campus filled with students who truly enjoyed and believed in the school and program. It was very intimate; Haas’ small size is no secret, so that was no surprise. Due to the volume of students visiting for the event, we were separated into four Read more

Duke / Fuqua Interview Report: Round 2 / Adcom / Skype

The following Duke / Fuqua interview report was submitted to Clear Admit by an Round 2 applicant. Good luck to them! Due to weather restrictions, I did not want to gamble with traveling to Fuqua on the days they offered for my interview, so I elected to Skype instead. My interviewer was an AdCom member, and was one of the nicest and most authentic people I have had the pleasure of speaking with in any interview, ever, to be quite honest. I felt at ease immediately. I was offered admission and a significant scholarship a few weeks later. Caveat: Though I Read more

Stanford MBA Interview Report: Round 2 / Alumnus / Off-campus

The following Stanford MBA interview report was submitted to Clear Admit by a Round 2 applicant. Good luck to them! General process – I met my interviewer at his office and walked to a close-by Starbucks for the interview – He explained that he had a certain set of questions to ask me and he had to identify certain behaviors, so not to be surprised if he needs to interrupt me while speaking – he did not have a copy of my CV (I brought one for him) nor did he take any notes. Throughout the Read more

The following Harvard Business School interview report was submitted to Clear Admit by a Round 2 applicant. Good luck to them! The interview went by very quickly.

As others have mentioned, transitions and clarity in your explanation are key. Read more

U. Chicago Booth Interview Report: Round 2 / Second-year student / On-Campus

The following U. Chicago Booth interview report was submitted to Clear Admit by a Round 2 applicant. Good luck to them! This may have been my favorite interview out of the 4 that I have completed! Booth did a great job of having making interviewees feel very comfortable prior to the interview, by having 1st year students in the waiting area to casually chat with interviewees. I would highly recommend this to all prospective students because it really does put you at ease. The interview was blind, with the interviewer only having seen my resume in advance. Questions included the following: Read more

Oxford / Saïd MBA Interview Report: Round 2 / Sector Consultant / Skype

The following Oxford / Saïd MBA interview report was submitted to Clear Admit by a Round 2 applicant who was admitted. Congratulations to them! I had a Skype interview with Oxford Saïd in early February 2015. The interviewer was a sector consultant and associate professor, with background in finance and investment. He told me at the beginning of the interview that it will last 30 minutes. I read several interview reports as part of my preparation, and it seemed to me that Oxford does not have a consistent interview style, i.e, questions can vary immensely, depending on who your interviewer is.

UPenn Wharton MBA Admissions Interview Report: Round 2 / TBD / On Campus

The following is a Wharton MBA admissions interview description provided by a recent applicant: With several close friends currently at Wharton, I expected to have a positive experience, but walked away from my interview/lunch/class experience extremely disappointed. Perhaps it was coming off the positivity of Haas' Super Saturday, or a very enthusiastic interview at Fuqua the day before - I'm not sure. I will explore this after running you through the process.
