*INTERVIEW COMPLETE*
So I just got back to Philly after a longggggggggg drive from Hanover.
I was the first interview so an admissions staffer interviewed me and a second year student shadowed her as part of the training.
The interview was very conversational and took about 30 minutes including Q&A with both the student and the staffer.
The specific questions she worked into the conversation:
Why an MBA?
Why Tuck?
(I covered my short and long term goals in this part)
What will you add to Tuck/participate in?
Walk me through your resume.
What would your team members say about you?
About 1/3 of the interview was spent on an odd tangent. My interviewer asked me about a social meet-up I started and we literally talked about it for 10 min. Everytime I thought the convo about it was over, she would dig deeper. It was nice to share a little about who I am outside of work, but I wish that time had been spent on some other areas such as leadership stories, accomplishments, my volunteer work.....I barely got to mention any of that because of the tangent!
Everybody there was super nice and made me feel very comfortable. Any specific questions anybody has, just ask!
Thanks for sharing your experience. Interesting to know about the tangential part of your interview. Did you talk about this social meet up your self or was this mentioned on your resume ? Wasn't this your volunteer work ?
Did you have a class visit too before/after your interview ? If yes, based on your interactions with students did you include anything new in your answer for "Why Tuck?"
