Idk if anyone else had this but my interview was slightly different from others I’ve had— I was asked behavioral + several follow ups after each story. Really down to the details (eg what was the price point you decided on, how much profit per unit did you get etc). Curious if others had that too

Overall was friendly tho!

I think there was one debrief on live wire that had questions like “who is your favorite historical figure and why” so I def spent way too much time prepping for those types of questions lol

Mine was the same..

My interview told me to pause a moment that he needs to get the details...
Like he needed time to write everything down?

Yeah the debriefs online from past years made it sound like there were a set number of questions asked but perhaps they changed the format? Or interviewer specific perhaps

He was trying to see if you actually did what you said you did thats why he was doing that. very normal

Most mba interviews do not do this, at least in my experience, which is what threw me off slightly.

Eg UVA, Emory, Cornell, Vandy, UNC didn’t do that, they just asked a behavioral question and moved on after max one follow up.

UCLA did ask about random resume bullet point, I do remember that.

To my knowledge fuqua and Yale do not do this either (the remaining two schools I’ve applied to/will interview with)

in the actual interview processes for jobs i found they did - right to the last bullet - thats where i meant its normal. from what ive heard, Ross pairs you with people from a similar industry background to test you.

The interview debriefs online definitely didn’t reflect this— may be a shift as a result of employability being a big concern for programs

what do you mean by employability being a big concern?

what did you notice that was out of the regular norm

Schools want to not report that only 80% of folks have secured an offer at graduation. Therefore vs like 5-6 years ago when you could aspire to big pivots like violinist to private equity, your goals have to match reality + you should have a clear plan to execute + a plan B.

On that last bit I’ve had a fair number of schools ask me what the plan b is if I strike out of my intended field (investment banking) so def have that prepared and make it make sense is my advice

Like I said I had not ever really been asked this many follow ups before so it was unexpected

i know they dont want to report that people are not securing jobs, but thats a normal thing
