1. Tell me about yourself (I incorporated Why MBA in my response)
2. Why do you have to get an MBA in order to achieve your long-term goal? Isn’t the experience in your current position and country enough?
3. Why Ross?
4. Then some detailed recruiting-related questions, basically wanna see whether I understand the process and challenges and how I would leverage the school resources
5. Tell me a time when you faced an organizational change
6. Tell me a time when you faced conflicts and had to persuade someone
7. Tell me a time when you worked with someone from different backgrounds
