I have just finished my evaluation. The questions asked were:
1. Same as previously mentioned
2. Tell me about a time you were treated unfairly
3. Tell me about a time you assisted your colleagues
4. Tell me about a professional challenge you encountered
5. Discuss your short-term goals and backup plan
You can refer to this one.

Below are the questions I got:

1. Introduce yourself outside of professional world.
2. Given an example of how you solved a problem creatively. Be detailed in your response.
3. Post mba goals and alternate plans.
4. Share an example where you felt your were treated unfairly by your supervisor or colleague.
5. Share an experience of an stressful journey at work or school and how you managed it.

Hi All,

I have a gmat classic 710 and 2.5 years of workex with EY in US taxation around mutual fund clients. Consultants here are suggesting me to wait another year before applying. Do I have a fair shot at mccombs this year?

Any input would be helpful

Just completed the Kira assessment and these were my questions in order:

1. Tell me about yourself
2. Tell me about a time where you were working on a project and the plan changed at the last minute. How did you handle it and what was the outcome?
3. Tell me about a time a team member or colleague was shy or lacked confidence. How did you help?
4. Tell me about your biggest achievement/accomplishment.
5. Short term and alternate plan

-Heads up, you have 30 seconds to prepare after the video of the question being asked and then 1 min 30 sec to answer

Hey @Svedant005, I hope you’re doing well!

Your 710 GMAT is strong for McCombs, where the average is around 700. Your EY experience in U.S. taxation and mutual fund clients also aligns well with McCombs’ finance strengths, and the Big 4 brand is a plus.

However, with only 2.5 years of experience (below McCombs’ 5-year average), you’ll need to highlight leadership and impact in your essays. McCombs does value high-potential candidates with fewer years of experience as well, especially if they can show a clear path to future leadership roles. Have you led projects, mentored others, or have any promotions? Show how you’ve maximized your time at EY and articulate clear career goals that align with McCombs.

If you feel that your current work experience highlights substantial leadership and contributions, applying now is viable. If not, waiting another year to gain more responsibilities could strengthen your profile and clarify your goals. All the best!
