I applied on December 2nd week, invited for an interview on December 22nd. Then, the brief holiday interregnum. University reopened on 2nd January 2023. The interview was scheduled for 4th January 2023. The admission decision and scholarship both were intimated via mail and portal update early morning on a Saturday (IST), January 14th, 2023. Had till February 3rd to accept the offer, which I did. Interviewer: Mr. Zsolt Kekesi. Medium: Online via Teams. The day before the interview: I confirmed via email the date & time of the interview. Interview summary: The entire 30-minute session was a cordial conversation. We began the discussion by exchanging pleasantries about the New Year festivities and about proper pronunciations of our names (quite a few times I did mess up his name's pronunciation, though I expected him to mess up mine. The latter did not happen). He gave a disclaimer that he would be taking notes and would be taking his gaze away from the webcam for that purpose, but would be listening nonetheless. Questions began with traditional MBA interview queries, like the ones mentioned in the other debriefs. There were secondary questions on most questions, based specifically on my profile - how an engineering graduate ended up as an edtech entrepreneur and my motivations for that. He was also intrigued by my role in career counseling and since he himself was from the career management center, he quizzed me on the specifics using scenario-type questions. During the 'Do you have any questions for me?' section of the interview, I asked two queries. One was with regard to French immersion opportunities in McGill for an international candidate like me. The second was a query on how the career management center activities would proceed after securing and accepting the admission offer. For the first question, he didn't have a clear answer and said that he would reach out to me with details later. To my surprise, 2 days later he did get back to me via updates from McGill in that regard (of a free French immersion program being initiated). Specific Questions: The questions mentioned below would be largely a repetition of the earlier debriefs. But in the interest of keeping the interview questionnaire recent, I have mentioned them. 1) What are your short-term and long-term career plans? 2) Have you considered other career alternatives/ Plan B? 3) Why are you seeking an MBA? Why McGill MBA? 4) Where else did you apply? 5) Tell me about your job, roles, and responsibilities/Tell me about your 'typical' day at work. 6) What do you do outside of work? 7) Do you have any questions for us? Tips: a) Be specific in your answers. Do convey to the interviewer that you have actually done some research about the school, program, location, industry you want to be part of, etc. b) Do expect the next level of questions from your primary questions. That is how the conversation moves forward and becomes a unique experience for each individual even though the set of primary questions remains the same for everyone. Remember that and prepare for that.

General questions. Why mba why now why rady how will you finance your mba etc. Tell me about one time you took risk and what did you learn? These are the ones I remember.

Just had my interview. It was a horrible experience. :( So, my interviewer was Kenneth Katz (a Ross alum). He graduated from Ross MBA in 1997! Seeing his profile, I was already skeptical on the interview format. As feared, it was a very very serious interview, and he was not in a good mood. He did not smile even once. Nothing like the 6 other MBA interviews I have given in the last days. The questions were the same that are already on the debrief (Why MBA, Why Ross, TMAT when u worked in a team, conflict with team member/boss, setback). He kept on complaining throughout the interview that I'm speaking too fast although I think I was conversing very fine as in other interviews. Maybe it was due to his age. He even told me that "I'm speaking fast because I might be nervous, and this is not how an interview should be given". I think it was very rude of him. Should I email the adcom on my experience? I know it's a done case for me but at least it might help someone else.
