Calling all McDonough Applicants (2015 Intake) Class of 2017

Hi Everyone, quick question. For an invite to the admissions interview, do we receive a direct email if we have been invited or do we have to check the application status website.

I was interviewed by David when he visited my country. Questions:
Why mba? and other standard ones. Initially he asked for a quick walkthrough of the resume.
He asked which other schools i had applied to and what differentiates mcdonough from those schools? (I could not give solid reasons here.)

Biggest accomplishment?
How did I get accustomed to the professional life right after my under-grad?
What challenges do I think that I might face when I come to mcdonough? Personal/professional
How well do I gel with people from other cultures? I gave example of typical onshore-offshore management in my current job and how I have adapted myself to cater to the demands of people from different cultures.

How do I lead a team? give an example of the same.
If I had a view/vision, how will I share it with my fellow peers in a team setting?


These are some of the questions that I can think of right now. This was by far the worst interview that I had given but I think meeting in person did the trick.

All the best!

Just remembered one more question that knocked me out-
He asked- "So, tell me. Who are you outside work?"

I started talking about hobbies, but i think he was looking for a generic answer such as a comedian, an actor or something like that. But at the end of my answer, I managed to make him laugh. And he replied - "hahaha. I appreciate your honesty."

Hey guys!
I had my interview on-campus today.
Very conversational and very relaxed.
Questions asked:

Walk me through your resume.
Why an MBA?
What are your short, mid and long term career goals?
What challenges did you face during your 3 year international experience in a cultural aspect?
What is the best piece of advice that you have received and implemented in your professional life?
Tell me about your most recent or significant project.
Tell me about a leadership experiece that you had.
Since you are a business person and must read a lot about your industry, tell me a recent article that you read, summarize it to me and tell me what is your point of view about it.
Do you have any questions?

I think I did ok on my interview and the person was very friendly.
The interviewer had not seen my file and she had not seen my resume.
I brought her a copy myself.

Hope it helps guys. Good luck to all of you and let's wait until march (zzzzzz....)
Cheers

On my interview I did not talk about my accomplishments but did mention why I switched jobs and what I wanted with each decision that I made throughout my career.
As the interviw progressed she asked me about a specific job or project.
I did not wanted to make my answer too long and overload her with information.
But that's totally personal.

Invited to Interview!!!! :D
