The interview was pretty conversational and relaxed. She didn't go too deep into any of my answers but kept following up with an agreement to my statement or a short anecdote of her own. The questions I can remember are 1)Why MBA 2) Why now? 3) Why Booth? 4) How will you contribute to Booth? 5) TMAT when you had to deal with a challenge at work in a team 6) TMAT when you had to oppose someone at work This lasted about 30 mins and then we had 5-10 minutes for me to ask her questions. She answered my questions enthusiastically and frankly. Overall good experience and nothing to be intimidated about. One should just have their own story and motivations very straight and then I don't think it should be a problem. Read Less

It was a very nice experience. The interviewer was very friendly, and the interview was very conversational. It lasted roughly 50 minutes. These were the questions that were asked: - Introduction - What kind of team do you work with best? What kind of roles do you shine the most? - Long Term Goals & Short Term Goals? - Why MBA? Why Booth? Why now? - A person whom you have met who has broadened your horizon? - How do you juggle multiple priorities? - Anything you wanna tell us which any of the questions couldn’t cover? - Any questions for me? The only advice I can give to future applicants is to think of it as more of a conversation rather than an interview. Don't overprepare - as that might make you robotic, instead think of it like talking to a friend who is curious about why you are doing an MBA or what are your plans. You know your life, you can answer any question that will be asked. Make it like a conversation and you will do just fine. That's what I did and my interview was better than I could have ever imagined. All the best, y'all! :) Read Less
