Kenan-Flagler (UNC) Class of 2016 Calling all applicants!

Well, my interview experience was pretty different from the norm.

The first shock was when the interviewer made me the ball of the court by asking me directly whether I want this interview to be a question answer session or a chat. Completely blank, I heard a voice inside me saying 'Chat' and that's what I actually said. And the 'grilling' session of 1.5 hrs began.

I think the major reason of the stretched interview was that I chose it to be a chat session. The first thing my interviewer asked me was, Please begin to talk. He did not ask introduce yourself or say something about yourself.... It was... Please start talking ! Phew.... But I managed to start speaking about myself not covering the professional part as I had observed that he had literally mugged up my resume before calling me in.

Well the question covered all the basic ones such as why MBA, why UNC, career etc. and other questions such as where do you want to work after MBA, have you considered the odds, how will you fund your MBA, are you comfortable only as a leader or you work in teams as well, leadership style, will you be comfortable coming back to India after MBA, etc.
I request everyone to be his/her true self otherwise it will show at some or the other point during the interview.

Basically, every response of mine prompted him to ask me more. I was surprised to see that the interview went on for an hour and a half. Well I think this will not be the case most of the times but still sharing this because candidates, specially in India, have a chance of coming across someone like my interviewer.
