It was a blind interview conducted by a second year student. I was basically asked to give my life story and discuss how and why I made certain decisions along my career path. I believe I was well-prepared to discuss and explain the rationale for my decisions to attend the undergraduate school, selection of major and career path. However, I was also sure to discuss what I believed to be the strengths of my candidacy, to include leadership experience.
Program Fit. I believe that you have to truly understand why you want to learn with the case study method. Additionally, to discuss why, it is also necessary for you to internalize the program strengths and characteristics as to how it will shape you as an individual. For me, I was able to discuss how I am a verbal communicator and how I plan to utilize the case study method to learn from other students.
I talked to another applicant after my interview who happened to find the experience more challenging than he expected. He was caught on the “Why an MBA” decision choice, based on his prior experiences. It is my belief that you have to get this answered before interviewing. The answer should be concise and demonstrate a developmental process relating to how the MBA will allow your goals to be acheived.
