Be the coolest guy in the MBA Forum - Be a threadmaster!

Hi all, I interviewed a couple of days ago. We went over the standard topics - Why MBA, Why now, Why Carlson, Strengths, Weaknesses, Goals etc. It was conversational. As long as you have your stories to support your experiences and your goals, you should be just fine. All limbs crossed. Good luck to everyone! -Archana

As far as I am aware, these are the deadlines: Apply by--Response by: R1> 1-Nov-14--15-Jan-15 R2> 1-Dec-14--15-Feb-15 R3> 1-Feb-14--15-Apr-15 R4 (US only)> April 1, 2014--15-May-15

Thanks Archana. Were there any extempore questions or the standard ones? How long did it happen?

no new invites people..i dont see anybody else getting invited and in one week the round2 deadline hits...

It was pretty standard - nothing extempore. I'd say it lasted for about an hour.

archana, were you interviewed by Peter or someone else????

I had my interview with Peter during the last MBA tour. The same questions that have been mentioned above. In the end he asked me about other schools to which I had applied to and what I would do I get accepted at all the schools with scholarship. Here, you have to give really concrete reasons as to why you would choose carlson over all the other schools

Hey all, pardon the delayed update - I received an interview invite on November 06 - Interviewed (Skype) on November 15, 2014. Interview was the regular set of questions: - Profile Brief - Resume Walkthrough - Situation and experiences including: A tough assignment; Assignment with teaming issues; Ethical dilemma; etc. - Why an MBA now? - Short term and long term goals; - Why Carlson; Being an international applicant (from India), I was also asked about what efforts would I make towards towards attaining my dream job in the US; Overall very conversational and relaxed. After that I was offered a chance to put forward any questions I had regarding the program - we spoke for another 5-7 minutes. Overall the interview lasted 45-50 minutes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please feel free to post a reply if you need any additional information! Cheers !
