Just had my interview, super easy, standard MBA questions except for 1: He asked for what clubs/activities I'm interested in at Rice. So make sure to know a few clubs that you'd like to join and why.
Also, something to note is that the interviewer told me all but 1 of his cohort are doing IB in Houston. So, if you're not looking to work in Houston post-MBA (for IB), then this might not be for you lol.

Its a 2nd year student. I had my interview at 7:30 IST and was told 2 hrs before who my interviewer is. Beware, the link is not for zoom or teams, but rather on the Vandi website itself. And the interview is only 30 mins, and they want to take you thr all the questions. Keep your introduction very limited/ brief. I didnt realize this and messed up my interview here.

I had mine yesterday. I felt the interviewer was very warming. At some point, it was surprising and very delightful. Basic ques mostly conversational bonding re goals hobbies why mba why owen. Interviewer also asked me to connect on linkedin and keep him posted of the results.
Its more of a natural building of conversation (though you have to prep for sure) rather a typical interview

I did my interview recently for round 2. There was only one true STAR question about a time I learned a new skill. They also seem to care about diversity- they asked what I would contribute to the community and then what I would gain from the diverse community. Also followed up with what I’ve learned the past from experiences where I’ve been around people different than me. Overall, it was not nearly as bad as I was expecting! I was nervous but the student was so nice and personable. Most of the questions were pretty standard.
One thing to note- the platform they used was different than just plain old Zoom and I couldn’t figure out how to blur my background when I logged on. It might have been an option, but I couldn’t sit there and mess with it. I would try to keep that in mind and have a clean background in case you can’t get it to blur!

Tell me about yourself ?
why owen ?
Your short and long term goals?
If your colleague were to say your weakness what will it be?
What can you contribute to the owen community?
I used the star method to answer my questions. It was a conversational interview. Try to tell them about your interest to because we bonded on that . My interview lasted 45 to 50 mins . Draw emphasis on why Owen relating it to your goals. He also ask me what can I gain from owen
Try and make your answers not generic to . One the current students I reached out to said it also helps when you refer a current student you spoke to and if you attended an info session to try and add that it. That was the advice she gave me
Try not to make your answers to generic as well . One the current students I reached out to said it also helps when you refer a current student you spoke to and if you attended an info session to try and add that it. That was the advice she gave me
my questions were follow ups from the answers I gave.

I’m an Emory undergrad + interviewed during an open interview period last month for R1 (you could do it if you went to the super Saturday event).
Interviewed with adcom. Was honestly really chill. I think I got asked about strengths and weaknesses, what I’m most proud of, short/long term goals etc
