Sorry guys, I just got back to SF from Ann Arbor. One hectic day of flying, waiting in the airport, twiddling my thumbs. I checked out of Ross around 1 pm and 1 Dan Brown novel later, "touchdown".
Interview was blind, and with Associate Director of Admissions. I will post a detailed de-brief later, but will post questions alone for now so that it helps dosa.
1. Why MBA? Why Now? Why Ross?
2. Difficult situation at work. How did you handle it?
3. Non-performing colleague. How did you handle the situation?
4. What do you do outside of work?
5. Few questions specific to my resume? Whats the project about? This iniatiative sounds interesting? WHat did you do?
All in all was a pleasant interview. I got across what I wanted to say and I think I made a good case for Why MBA and Why Ross. However, tone and delivery could have been better. Being the first interview, I think it wasnt as good as I would have liked. Still, no complaints.
Sorry for the hastily composed post. I am jet lagged right now.
Dosa, all the best for tomorrow. Saurabh and tsaditya, did you have yours yet? All the best to you guys.

I had my interview day before yesterday night on phone. The interviewer was a lady...I could not get her name properly and that is bugging me coz I wanted to send a thank you mail...anyways, I think it went, all considering, pretty well. The questions were pretty standard and I think the clearadmit wiki is a great resource for anyone preparing for an interview. So the questions were mostly expected:
1.) Short term, long term goals, How Ross fits in
2.) Example of team conflict, learnings from the same
3.) How do I feel about managing vendors instead of direct reportees
4.) Contribution to Ross - this I think I messed up a little
5.) Clubs and rest
I think I did manage to say most of the things that I wanted to say by fitting in with the rest of the answers. I was more prepared for a walkthrough of my resume but that didnt happen.
I ended up asking about the subprime crisis and do they foresee any effect on hiring in future. Pretty lame question, but relevant coz I am going to invest a lot of my money and time and I needed some re assurance.
That was pretty much it. the interview lasted exactly 29 minutes. Lets see what happens.
