Good question! I was gonna post this earlier. So, the interesting about McCombs is that you can choose your own interviewer. Initially, I wanted to choose someone similar to my background (industry, nationality). HOWEVER, probably due to a string of bad lack, I had to ask 7 alums until I got one who was available to interview me. At that point, I didn't care about background anymore. I just wanted an interview. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK WITH YOUR INTERVIEWER BEFORE HITTING THE REQUEST BUTTON. If the interviewer is unavailable and rejects your request, it'll take 2-3 business days to be able to send another one out.
Anyways, I was lucky that my interviewer had a VC background since I was focused on entrepreneurship. For that reason, we were able to have a very good quality conversation digging deep into topics we were both very passionate about (business plan competitions, startups, etc.)
Key takeaways:
1) Try your best to get an alum who you can correlate to. I'm not ashamed to admit that I did the "LinkedIn, Facebook, asking friends" background check before I picked each interviewer candidate.
2) If you have troubles getting someone to interview you (another guy had to go through 6 alums), don't hesitate to contact the admissions team. They are very helpful and supportive in helping me finally secure my interviewer.
Good luck!!!
