Interview was conducted by a second year student. It was originally slated for 30 minutes, but half way into it, there was a technical issue on the interviewer's end. So, it took about 10 minutes to troubleshoot the issue and resume the interview. But extra time was added to accommodate the previously lost time.
- Tell me about yourself
- What led you to pivot from your academic field of training to your current job function?
- What are your post-MBA goals and why Rice?
- Have you interacted with Rice students? Mention their names.
- If you receive multiple offers, what would be your key considerations in reaching a decision?
- Any specific activities and courses you're eager to partake in at Rice?
- What does diversity mean to you?
- Any questions for me?
She sent me a thank you note after the interview and I responded in appreciation of her thoughtfulness. Good experience overall.
