awesome! Congratulations. Could you share your profile pls.
Sure. I'm Asian, female, 25, 3.5 WE with my undergrad concentration in accounting. I'd been an auditor at Big4 for 3 years. I got a CPA license and currently work for my family business.
As I believe it might be beneficial for others who will have interviews later, I'm going to share my interview experience here.
Had an interview on Feb 2 with the second-year student. I scheduled for a 10 am slot but my interviewer asked to postpone since he had another Babson event that time. So we had an interview at noon (which is midnight in my country). He was very friendly. The interview was very relaxed. But during the first question (walkthrough resume) I was nervous that I forgot to mention about my working experience at my own company. Then I realized that when I answered the ST,LT goal questions and told the interviewer about it.the interviewer said he got a list of questions that he needed to ask me. These are the questions I can remember.
1. Walkthrough resume
2. ST LT goal
3. Why MBA, Why now
4. WHy Babson and have you applied for other schools and where?
5. Tell me about your leadership and teamwork experiences
6. What kind of leader are you?
7. What three strengths you think you have the most?
8. Have you run into any opportunities that might come in your way? Please give some examples?
9. What are you passionate about?
10. Any questions you may want to ask?
That's about it, I guess. It was a thirty-minute interview. Before we ran to the last two questions, my interviewer said I could provide a very concise answer, spent only 1 min while others may spend 3-4 mins, and he appreciated that. (But later I wasn't sure if that was ok cuz I felt like i should have talked a bit more)
Hope this helps.
