Just a joke. Walmart is biggest retail based h1b sponsor and it has stopped hiring those needing sponsorship

So internationals wont be going there and into retail sector now in general should others follow suit

Retail sector has never been a big recruiter for MBA grads (its usually 2-3% of the class at any b-school), much less for international students.

Shouldn't be the case as a lot of other schools have already shared their results for R1 and that will make it difficult to make a decision.

Just finished my interview. I was expecting a candid and conversational experience, but it felt like a proper interview and he grilled me quite a bit.

Questions:
1. Tell me about yourself (Your experience, Why MBA, What are your goals) - He grilled quite a bit on the Why MBA part, asking why I need an MBA to achieve my goals
2. ⁠He asked about my plan-B in case I don’t take an MBA and pressed on it asking why I don’t directly pivot into consulting, without an MBA. He asked what skills are required to be a strategy consultant.
3. ⁠How Ross fits into the picture
3. ⁠TMAT you faced a challenge, how did you solve and what was the impact
4. ⁠TMAT you worked on a project which had the biggest impact
5. ⁠TMAT you had a conflict with a teammate, how did you resolve it and what was the impact
6. ⁠TMAT you worked in a diverse team (Didn’t probe too much on this)
7. ⁠TMAT you failed, how did you face it and what was the impact
8. ⁠Any questions you have for me

Even for the TMAT questions he wasn’t satisfied when I was explaining things at a high level. He kept interrupting me in between and he wanted me to set up the context properly before explaining what happened

My suggestion for everyone else:
1. Be perfectly clear on why you want to do an MBA and how it sets you up for your goals
2. ⁠Make sure not to use fictional examples, and if you are asked a TMAT question that has never happened to you, just be frank that something exactly like that didn’t happen, and provide an example that loosely connects to it.

He basically said that it was so long ago that he doesn’t remember much
