Hey. Did anyone record the video essay for Carlson application? What kind of questions does the school ask?

Hi Guys,

HAs anyone tried writing to school on the ftmba@umn.edu?

I tried twice, never received a response.

Do you have anyother contact details to reach out to school?

You can try reaching out on csom@umn.edu

Hi Ritika,

Thanks a lot. I will try this one.

Hey guys,

Anyone having some idea about the video essay questions ?
Please share. It will be really helpful for all the applicants.

The video essay questions are standard interview type questions.
What do you do in your free time?
Tell me about a time when....
What does *fill in the blank* mean to you? (diversity, success, failure, etc.)

If you think through your past job interview questions, or browse the other posts for past years' full time in person interview questions, that's a good cross section of the type of questions.

They admissions team says it is more about trying to get a personal feel for you without doing an in person interview.

They only ask 1 question for the video essay. 120 seconds prep time and 120 seconds recording time. I was asked about a time at work when I started something from scratch with zero information. How did I approach the situation and what was the outcome?

Finally.. some discussion happening. Thanks @RitikaPahuja, BLan, Manz09, KG2012 and good luck for your apps. Anyone wants to take charge of this thread? I won't be visiting it as frequently as any current applicant would do.
