I had my interview with Kathryn Andersen from the Admissions Team. The interview itself was conversational (although she had an exact list of questions to ask) and she was quite friendly so that eased the pressure a bit.
1. Started off with explanaing my professional background
2. How does an MBA fit into this?
3. Why Carlson
4. ST and LT goals
5. Anything I am particularly proud of
6. A risk I have taken and what was my rationale behind takin that risk.
7. Leadership style
This was followed by my questions for about 7-8 mins where we discussed about the city and the cold weather a bit. As a whole it lasted 30 mins sharp.

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.

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.

Interview was good for the most part but certainly enjoyable meeting Andrea and Joy. It was held at Cornell's admissions location in NYC and was about 45 minutes in length. Basic run through was we talked about my history, experience, why I was interested in a MBA, and other questions that would help the admissions group understand how I would fit with their overall curriculum at Cornell. Wont get into specifics but I think if you review what you want to do with an MBA and how it fits into their program, especially what you can contribute, you will do fine. I did enjoy the visit!
The only downside was that the room was quite hot or maybe it was the fact I was over caffienated.

Hi dudes,
I did my interview with Tedi Mason at Carlson School. She was a perfect lady with a smiling face all of the time during interview. The interview went well and took approximately 28 minutes(seems to be low but it was as long as she told me at the start of the conversation) and very basic questions after a detailed CV followup.
Why MBA and why now?
Why Carlson?
Extempore topic chosen by you. Actually she gave me a minute to prepare but i already knew the topic and prepared before so she was very kind when i tell that i already prepared myself for such a question. She smiled also :)) and after all she asked me If i have questions to her. I asked 2 questions and she promised me to interact with a current student and took my name down on her notes.
Actually a wonderful experience for me and I think it was clear. Hope to have an admit with a good scholarship..wish u good luck guys. I would be happy to answer If you send PMs to me about this. Kind regards,

Had my Skype interview couple of hours back with two adcoms. Questions were mainly targeted to my work and how will I get to my short-term goals-
Questions were as follows-
1. Tell me about yourself
2. Why Singapore?
3. What are your goals and how do you plan to achieve it?
4. Which technology leader would you like to invite to NUS and why? ( Had mentioned something about technology speaker series in my essays)
5. Why would a consulting firm take you?
6. Have you interacted with anyone in your target firms?
7. How are you different from just another IT guy? Your unique selling point?
8. Tell me about a project in detail which you guided to completion.
9. Why is there a demand of the work you do?
10. Any questions from us?
That's about it. The interview lasted for about 20-22 minutes and I got disconnected for a couple of times and one of the interviewer was quite displeased by this for which I apologized but I am sure this left a bad impression on her. All the best to others who have their interviews scheduled. Hope this helps.

I just got done with my interview with Marie. She said that I was one of the two candidates who would be pushed for the next round. It was very quick. The questions were very straightforward.
Here is the list of the questions.
1.) There are many candidates from India with high Gmat scores and great work profiles. What sets you apart?
2.) Name one current event that happened in Asia, and one outside of it
3.) Name three companies that have originated in Asia and have a global presence that are not from your industry.
4.) What locations and companies would you like to work for and why?
5.) Biggest achievement and failure.

Got done with the interview. Lasted 20-25 mins. It didn't go as well as I'd hoped. For one, their net connection was weak so we had to shift to a telephonic interview after 2 mins into the interview. Also, they didn't ask me the "Why NUS?" question and I forgot to touch upon it :-(
The questions were:
*Walk me through...
*Goals
*Why MBA?
*How will you contribute to class?
*Scenario : a team member is not performing. What is your management style?
*Questions for them.
Hoping for the best.
