They first asked me to introduce yourself and tell them 3 key learnings from my work experience. Then, the classic “Why MBA?” followed by “Why do you want to do MBA at this stage in your life?”
They were intersted in my short- and long-term career goals? and asked me”Where do you see yourself in 5 years?”
Afterwards, they told me to tell them about a challenging situation that I’d faced and how did I resolve it?
They moved on to “What are your greatest strengths? Give examples” and “What are your weaknesses? Give examples”
Finally, the told me to describe are my greatest achievement to date, and after that they asked me if I had any questions, so I asked I think 3 questions. Feeling quite happy I went home and told everyone in my family that it had been very good. They were quite to the point, with no tricky questions.
