Hi everyone, I just had my interview, and I want to share my experience: 1. *Overall Impression: The interview was conversational and relaxed. 2. *Key Questions Asked*: *Why Ross?*: I explained my motivation for choosing Ross and pursuing an MBA. - *Project Discussion* : I was asked about a specific project on my CV, and I shared the details and story behind it. - *Challenge Handling*: I was asked about a time I faced a challenge or inconsistency and how I managed it. - *Background Overview*: I provided a walkthrough of my background. - *Diversity Comfort*: I was asked about my comfort with the diversity of Ross’s community. 3. *Interview Duration*: The interviewer mentioned that he had a checklist from the admissions team that he needed to cover and would provide feedback later. Overall, the interview lasted about 40 minutes and felt quick. I hope this helps anyone preparing for their interviews!

Just finished my interview as well - very similar to this. Had the opportunity to speak about my career experiences and my leadership style. One question aside from all the usual ones you’d expect was “If you had the superpower to change one thing in the world what would it be?” We ran out of time so asked him one question and wrapped it up.

My interviewer was exceptionally warm and went out of her way to create a friendly, pressure-free environment. The conversation felt natural and engaging throughout. The questions included: Introduce yourself Why Ross? Why MBA? Behavioral questions: A time when you had to adapt A time when you received feedback A time when you navigated a diverse environment We wrapped up with a 10-minute Q&A, where I had the opportunity to ask her questions.

Sharing a quick brief of my interview experience. In essence it was more conversational (45 mins) with a current student and had primarily frequently asked questions: • Classic “tell me about yourself.” Here, I spoke about my family, my undergraduate studies, and my career background. I created hooks around getting a team to collaborate and leading multicultural teams and that led to the following questions in between my introduction • Why an MBA, why now • Why Darden? Be sure to articulate well here and also talk about what you can bring to the community in your answer • Tell me about a challenging situation at work and how you overcame it. Follow STAR method but instead of ending with just results, try mentioning any soft skills/results achieved and how you've carried them into some other work/project/personal life but do it in an organic way • Can you talk more about the experience (on resolving conflict and getting a team to cooperate)? • What do You do Outside of Work? What Community Activities do You Participate In? • Did you encounter difficulties or problems working with people from different backgrounds? What did you learn from that experience? • Lastly, she asked if there was anything we may have missed or anything I wanted to add. Here, I talked about the clubs, initiatives, and activities I’m interested in and asked the questions I had for her.

Like others have mentioned, interviews are not blind, and it was honestly a great, chill experience interviewing with the Admissions Committee. 1. TMAY/ Why Tepper? 2. When have you contributed to someone else's development, or your team's goals, by influencing others without formal authority? 3. They will ask about your short term career goal, and how you are prepared to recruit for those roles if given the opportunity 4. What does DEI mean to you/ how have you reinforced this philosophy in the workplace.

Interviewer was a finance expert (my goals were around DFI) - more than 40 years of experience overall. He’s a CDC expert and not affiliated only with Oxford. Very warm and conversational interview overall. 1. Question about EC (music in my case) 2. How do you manage time between EC and FT job? 3. A couple of clarifying questions on my resume bullet points - he had worked with the Reserve Bank of India (something my resume had) and wanted me to elaborate on the engagement 4. How do you see your leadership develop over the MBA and beyond? 5. Is there anyone in your personal or professional network you look upto? Why? 6. You’ve described challenges in achieving ST goals in your written material - but what challenges do you think you’ll face while recruiting for this? 7. (Since I have a connection with my ST goals’ employer) have they given you any indication that they might want you there? Is this a pathway that people usually take? 8. What other schools have you applied to?

The interviewer was from adcom, a very chill interviewer! Asked me 4-5 questions only, my interview lasted 20 mins max 1. Introduce yourself 2. Why MBA at this point? 3. Why Simon? 4. Any international experiences? professional or personal? 5. Time you led a team, faced a difficult situation and how did you learn from it? What is your leadership style?

[My interview spans] 25 minutes long: TMAY, Why MBA, Why Darden, Questions for interviewer. (My interviewer seemed to be in a hurry/not-interested, asked to finish answers fast. I was cut in between a couple of times to finish fast.). Takeaway: Keep answers crisp. I am not sure, finishing interview so fast is a good sign or a bad sign (Haha)

I recently interviewed with Darden on 3rd Feb with Adcom Officer, following are the questions she asked me: 1) Tell me about your childhood 2) Then about the career and academics 3) For me, I am pivoting my role from Banking to Retail so the reasons for that. 4) Why MBA? Why Darden and Why MBA now? What do you feel about the case method? 5) Situation based question- if anybody is not working to their potential, how would you deal with it? 6) what do you do when you are not working? 7) questions for me. Also, they begin their conversation from a small talk, like what were you doing on a weekend, or how was day, something like this.

My interview was conducted with a second year student. 23-25 min long. It was a very friendly and conversational. The interviewer was chilled out. Started with interviewer's introduction! The following questions were asked: 1. Summarize your story, as if I don't know anything about you 2. Why makes you interested in an MBA? 3. At Owen you have the opportunity to consider various concentrations, which one are you inclined towards and fit your goals? 4. What makes you interested in Vanderbilt? 5. If you could tell me just 2 deciding factors which make you select certain school or university for your MBA? 6. What will your peers or co-workers say as your greatest strengths? 7. Tell me about a time when you were asked to do something you weren't familiar with? how did you go about it? what did you learn? 8. Talk about what do you hope to contribute to the program? What do you expect from your classmates? 9. Owen has a history of transforming people's live in business and beyond, how do you hope to grow during these 2 years? 10. Outside of work what do you like to do for fun?

Relaxed, very conversational and friendly interview that lasted just under an hour. General themes were: 1. Career history. 2. Approach to problem-solving. 3. What kind of leader would people say you are? 4. Time you convinced people to follow your approach. 5. Project/undertaking that failed. 6. What gaps will an MBA fill? 7. Understanding of your intended career trajectory. 8. Time you stepped out of your comfort zone.

The setting was quite informal and friendly. The 3 basic questions of Why MBA, Why Now and Why Ross was asked first. The next question pattern was mostly picking out points from my resume or TMAT type professional questions and 2-3 follow-up questions regarding the anecdote. The interview went on for about 40-45 mins followed by the 10 minutes he gave me to ask him questions and I ended up asking him 3 questions. I was glad for it to be my first MBA interview because it was quite a positive and non-stressful experience, so much so that, I felt comfortable to speak naturally rather than spout out fixed formal answers.

Had mine yesterday. It was conversational but the pattern was surprising. The interviewer straightaway started with my CV, not even an introduce yourself qn haha. Their focus was on understanding my positions deeply and the motivations behind taking on each role, followed by some behavioural questions and lots of follow up questions based on answers. Had 15 minutes at the end for me to ask questions.

It was with a 2nd Year MBA student. Introduction What made you switch jobs? Why MBA? Why Kellogg? What will you contribute at Kellogg? TMAT you delivered a bad news TMA something surprising you learnt about yourself in last 5 years TMA time you failed, what did you learn What is your leadership style? What kind of leader you aspire to become? Any questions you have I got to ask two questions. Interview lasted for around 48 mins.

I had my interview a couple of hours ago. Questions like: 1. Why an MBA at this point of your life? 2. Examples when you had a disagreement at work. 3. If your leadership style has changed over time. 4. Mention an occasion when you got feedback and how it went? 5. Why to transition to a financial role I'm not sure how it went. I didn't feel it was the best interview but it didn't go bad. Do you know how likely is to be rejected after the interview? Does it influences a lot in the outcome? Do you have data from past applications? Thank you all!

It went for 35 mins. I don’t remember all the questions. 1. Why MBA and why OXford? 2. Why you want to go into management consulting (short term goal) 3. What place you are looking to work at ppst MBA and some more questions around why mba and all then behavioral questions 1. Did you work in a collaborative team 2. Did you make a mistake and how did you handle 3. Did you ever receive a feedback 4. How would you contribute to Oxford And some more questions like these and lastly my questions
