Alum was a very senior exec. Relaxed, conversational interview, lasted just over an hour. About 30 minutes of behavioral questions followed by 30 minutes of more open chatting. No “tell me about yourself,” “why MBA,” or “why Stanford” questions, just three TMATs that we dug into a bit more detail on. Had a great time.
The three TMAT questions were:
1. TMAT you accomplished something you were really proud of.
2. TMAT you went above and beyond.
3. TMAT you helped someone else develop their skill set.
These were actually the only “planned” questions for me. All of the others stemmed from the answers I gave and branched out naturally from each story.
