I just wanted to share my interview experience since I have really benefited from this board.. my time to give back!
Attended the class session in the morning and then was seated in a waiting room.
The adcom came in and escoted me to her office. We started off with light banter and common ground the adcome found on my resume.
1. Walk me through your resume which I did starting with past education up to current work experience
2. So why Tuck? How do you fit in? What do you bring to Tuck?
3. Why an MBA now?
4. What is your single biggest accomplishment? Based on the answer she probed more into it..
5. What is your immediate goal after you graduate? and she probed more into it by asking specific questions based on my answer..
6. We casually spoke about the culture of tuck..
7. What is your leadership style? give me an example
8. She told me How tuck would be a good fit for what i seek I did not ask for it...( not sure if this is a bad sign!)
Overall: She was very attentive and made eye contact. She took notes as we spoke and took time to answer my questions.
Not sure how I fared but it lasted about 40 minutes.
I seem to have had a more questions and the interview took longer then others Can some one tell me if this a bad sign?
Just really nervous?
I think longer is better to me that means she wasn't bored and wanted to run you out of there. The sales pitch at the end also seems like a good thing and that she personalized it to suggest how Tuck would help you meet your goals was a very nice touch. All in all from what you posted it sounds like a good interview to me.
Thanks for posting your experience I am interviewing this friday and it is always good to see how other people's interviews went.
