Just got my interview done with JR McGrath. Very friendly chat. The usual question Walk-through? Why MBA? Why now? What are you looking for in a school? Difficult situation at work? hobbies? And in the end questions by me. Nothing formal. For guys yet to be interviewed, chill and give it your best shot.

Hi! The questions will be similar to the following: Introduction about yourself - Where are you from, nature of your current job in brief, about your family, education etc Why MBA? Why SMU MBA specifically? - Go through their program details and brochure and talk about 2/3 things you liked the most about the program. How is MBA going to help your career? What will you bring to SMU? Talk about how your work experience or education is going to benefit the class What are your short-term and long term goals? What are your strengths and weakness (professionally)? What are the BSchools have you applied to and the status?

My Interview was taken by Hannah. IT was mostly behavioral questions. She initially told about herself then asked to tell about myself. Then she asked why MBA at this point of time, Why SMU and she asked to quote leadership skills I exhibited in my company and asked many follow up questions on that to make herself clear on each point I stated. She was going through my resume simultaneously. As a whole, it was a cool and interactive interview. Hope this helps you. If you already completed your interview, All the best.

Very conversational and great, make sure you know your resume well and can quickly identify your short and long term goals. Why SMU? It wasn’t hard at all I did not practice at all. Interview was with J.R. McGrath

I had my interview with Brett Powell. She was a very nice person. The questions asked were pretty normal. Questions such as: Why MBA? Why SMU? How would you contribute to the program? Behavioral questions such as Working in a team experience? Leadership experience? Other programs that I applied to? so on so forth... Do not remember exactly much. Gave time to ask the questions I might have for her! Also, asked me to reach out if I get any admits earlier than SMU's decision.
