Of course, I had one.

She asked me:
Why mba, why now
Walk me through your CV
Why 1+1 experience (the one with tech mba)
What do you can give to cornell as a future student

Just that, it feels as a conversation not a questionary

Oh that sounds short and direct. Thanks for sharing.
Could you please share who was the admissions officer?

Hey guys, for those of you who’ve worked with admission consultants — would it be okay if I DM’d you to hear about your experience? I’ve been finding it tough to decide which consultant to go with.

I worked with consultant from US but just on the interview prep. If you think I can help, feel free to dm

Core background & story
Tell me about yourself.
Tell me more about you as a person – what do you enjoy outside of work? (Hobbies, interests, passions, etc.)

Motivation: MBA / timing / Cornell

Why do you want an MBA?
Why is now the right time for you to pursue an MBA?
Why Cornell Johnson specifically?
Are you applying to any dual-degree or dual-campus options at Johnson? If so, why?

Experience, reflection & resilience

Tell me about a time you failed. What happened, and what did you learn from it?

Goals & plans

What are your post-MBA career goals?
If your first-choice path doesn’t work out, what is your Option B? (Backup plan / alternative pat

Academic readiness (time away from school)

Given that you’ve been out of school for a while, what have you done—or what do you plan to do—to prepare for the academic rigor of the MBA?

Wrap-up / personal pitch

Is there anything else you’d like the admissions committee to know about you that we haven’t covered?
What questions do you have for me?
