Alright, I have a few minutes to breathe now, so I will post my re-cap.
Once again, I was blown away by the facilities and the professionalism of the admissions staff and process. They are very organized and on top of it. During my only other business school interview so far (at another school) - the interviewer did not take the time to read my resume before the interview, and he barely glanced at it during the interview. My interviewer at Chicago not only took the time to review my resume prior to our interview, but came up with interesting and specific questions to ask related to my resume. I was impressed by this, as well as the organization and professionalism of everyone in the admissions office. Chicago is definitely a model for how any school should treat their prospective students. Whether the schools like it or not, students do pay attention and the opinion that they form of the admissions office will likely be what they think of career services and the rest of the administration.
Interview questions:
- Walk me through your resume and tell me about yourself
- Short and long-term goals
- I noticed you're involved in this specific extra-curricular, tell me more about it
- What do you do for fun?
- I said my long-term goal was entrepeneurship. The interviewer asked why not private equity? and we explored this a bit.
- What will you do if you are not admitted this year?
- I noticed you trained and hired a subordinate at work. How would this person describe you?
- Why did you choose your Undergrad school?
- What makes you different from the masses of other "Finance guys" applying to our school?
- Any other things you would like to tell me about yourself?
The interviewer was a 2nd year student going into General Management at an F500 and was very professional and upbeat. They definitely enjoyed their time at Booth and were open to speaking about it candidly. After my interview, I had lunch with rhyme, kwam, and dabots and that certainly provided a different and valuable perspective as well (i.e. off the record and outside of the admissions process).
The biggest thing that I took away from today is how humbling business school is going to be. So many of us are used to being in the top 1-5% at our places of employment, undergrad schools, by GMAT scores, etc. When you get to a school like Chicago, almost everyone feels like an average joe due to the high caliber of students. This feeling was invigorating and made me really excited about business school in general (regardless of where I end up).
I'll be twiddling my thumbs and anxiously awaiting decisions in 2 weeks like the rest of you! Best of luck to everyone.
