Kenan-Flagler 2012 - Calling All Applicants

If you look back a couple pages a bunch of people have shared their interview experience. It sounds like most people's experiences have been very similar. I interviewed last week and I thought the interview was pretty standard. It was a blind interview, lasted about 40 minutes, and there really weren't any questions that caught me off guard. It was just walk me through your resume, a few follow up questions, why MBA, why kenan-flagler, and some questions about my leadership style.

As for mentioning the names of faculty members, I think if you can speak honestly about why you want to take classes with them or why their work excites you and particularly if these points tie directly to you career goals I would go for it if they ask you why you want to attend Kenan-Flagler. I absolutely do not think this is necessary, and if you just mention names without clear reasoning it may seem out of place.

I think you can show interest in several ways. Have you reached out to any of the student ambassadors or any of these professors directly? That would be a place to start. Also, I think your interest can be shown by the questions you chose to ask at the end of the interview. Through your questions you can demonstrate your depth of knowledge about the program and why it excites you.

I hope this helps! Good Luck!
