What set of questions they asked you in your interview ?
Show more
Just saw your message. Interview was pretty standard. It was with a current second year student. Format was the same as what you would find in the debriefs section.
Walk me through your resume
Why MBA
Why now
Why Owen
Short term & long term goals
What is a professional accomplishment you are most proud of
What is something you have learned from someone who is different from you
Tell me about a time you were faced with a difficult situation
What do you do in your free time
Any questions for me?
Interview lasted about 35 mins.

Are there any dos and donts that one must take care of? What kind of questions should someone ask if given the opportunity?
Show more
Dos

*Be clear on Why MBA, why Owen, why now.

*Share 60–90 sec STAR stories (leadership, teamwork conflict, failure/feedback, measurable impact).

*Show a team-first, collaborative vibe and how you’ll contribute.

*Give a specific post-MBA goal (function + industry).

*Send a short thank-you within 24 hours.


Don’ts

*Don’t read your résumé or ramble past 2 minutes.

*Don’t bad-mouth anyone or over name-drop.

*Don’t lead with rankings/scholarship questions or heavy jargon.

Hi Kshitija,

Nice job getting through your interview, that’s such a big step!. Getting “Why Owen” twice probably means they were really interested in your story! 🤩 Fingers crossed for great news soon 🤞

Oh, and don’t forget to drop a quick thank-you note to the interviewers within 24 hours always a nice touch! 😊

Getting why Owen twice may also mean they weren’t paying much attention 🙃
