The first interview is an all-round interview, your goals, why Cox, and how you intend to contribute to the community. The second interview is focused on your career. I was asked questions like a reason for my current professional trajectory, my goals including the exact companies and exact roles, alternative career routes if my goals do not work out, What other schools I applied to, why MBA, and why now.

My interview was with Jackie Otto. She has read my application and was aware of my story. It was a very candid conversation. 1. I mentioned I want to work at Apple, and she asked if I am open to other companies and, in general, what my Plan B was. 2. Since my post-MBA goal was to work in Product management, she asked what skills I need to become one. 3. What resource do you use for research? 4. TMAT you resolved a conflict 5. Tell me about your greatest accomplishment 6. I mentioned I like to travel a lot, and she asked which culture impacted me the most. After every answer, she shared her perspective as well and kept the conversation flowing. She has a lot of cats, so sharing that you like cats or something might account for additional bonus points :)

Completed my interview today. It was with a current 2nd year student. Mostly regular questions, such as Walk me through your resume why rice why MBA career goal experience with working in diverse team working through differences. The only questions that were a little tough to answer is a "What is the most important factor in choosing what program to pursue, academics / career / ranking / reputation etc.", and another question "Is Rice your number one choice" which I probably messed up because I might have hesitated a little bit before answering.
