If you don't mind sharing, what questions did you ask your interviewer?



daldilaimi
* Application submitted on 10/6
* Invited to interview on 10/13
* Interviewed on 10/26

1- Talk to me about yourself
2- What were you doing before your last start-up?
3- What appeals to you about Darden in particular?
4- How would you define your leadership style?
5- How do you show up as a team member?
6- How do you encourage diversity, equity, and inclusion in the classroom?
7- What do you expect to be the most challenging part of Darden?
8- Anything I haven't asked you that you wanted to share with me?
9- I asked questions

*Overall: My interviewer at Darden is a second-year student. She was lovely and had this positive energy about her. She allowed me to speak without interrupting me and was an active listener. In the end, she answered all of my questions without rushing me.

Wishing you all the best of luck!

Before the interview do we know who our interviewer will be? If yes, when do you find that out?

I had my interview yesterday afternoon with an Ad-com member. It was pretty conversational. I was asked the following questions:

1- Tell me about yourself - background, journey anything that has been important to you
2- Why MBA now?
3- What appeals to you about Darden in particular?
4- What will your team members say about you?
5- How would you define your leadership style?
6- What values will you bring to Darden?
7- Follow-up question based on the previous answers about values - related to Diversity and Inclusion?
8- I asked questions
