I had the interview today for the full-time program. I applied in R1, but my application was moved to R2 because of some technical issues on their side (bummer).

The interview was taken online (via Zoom) and lasted for about 35 minutes. There were two guys - one from AdCom and one from Career Management. The questions were: - Take us through your resume - Why a second MBA? Why now? - Short-term and long-term goals - How would Fisher help you achieve these goals? (Why Fisher?) - What challenges do you think you would face at Fisher? - Tell us about a time when you led a team - Tell us about a time when you received constructive feedback from someone - Tell us about a time when you showed empathy - Tell us about a time when you worked with people from diverse backgrounds Afterward, they gave me the floor to ask questions. My first question was about extra-curricular activities at Fisher. However, from their feedback, it was apparent that they were more interested in career-related questions. So, my subsequent questions were directed towards career prospects at Fisher. Tip: If you're an international applicant, make sure your goals are realistic and achievable in the US context. Don't pick a target industry that is not known to sponsor work visas. Conduct your research beforehand keeping this factor in mind. Read Less

Hi Guys, First, I want to point out that my interview was conducted during a preview day, so it was slightly different in that we had been invited to the preview day and the interview was only a small part of it. In fact, one of the people that was also invited stated they didn't realize there would be an interview and didn't feel prepared and the ad com board told them that it would be fine because it was more of a conversational interview. This turned out to be very much true, although it was still an interview with behavioral questions. I had two interviews, one with the ad com and one with the office of career management. The ad com interview was pretty standard. - Take me through your resume - What sort of leadership experience do you have - Talk about a team experience you have - Talk about a time you dealt with someone who was different from you at work - Talk about a time you failed at something - Why Fisher - How do you want to get involved The interview with the office of career management was a lot of the same, but more focused on my career goals with questions like: - What are your short and long term goals - How are you going to make sure you achieve those goals - What classes and clubs are you interested in - What other programs are you looking at Both interviewers were extremely nice and like I said, it was like have a conversation but just with pointed questions.

I had my interview via Skype with Fisher Business School (Ohio State University) during March 2014. The whole process was very well managed. The interview scheduling process was smooth and there were multiple interview slots available to interview within a few days of getting the interview confirmation. A lady from Admissions Committee was there to interview and she was extremely friendly and happy to answer any questions I had. We chatted for about 10 minutes after she was done asking me questions. I had a great time overall. I believe it was my second best interview of the season. She made sure I understood that the culture and community were crucial aspects at Fisher. She was very friendly, asked soft and easy behavioral questions. There were no specific surprises during the interview. Great experience overall from the welcome to interview. Read Less
