By the 18th minute, all these questions had been answered. After this, since we still had time, she asked if there was anything I hadn’t shared yet. I talked about my volunteer work, which led to a nice conversation. I then asked the interviewer about her experience at Emory Goizueta, and she shared her perspective. She gave me her email ID in case I had any questions or wanted to stay in touch. She also asked me to sign up for the AMA with an admissions ambassador so they could assign someone who has a similar background and can share their view of Emory Goizueta. Thank you. Duration: 24 minutes. By around the 18-minute mark, she said she had already gotten the information she needed.

I just concluded with RICE interview and the whole thing lasted exactly 30mins with a second year student. Questions asked: - Tell me about yourself. - ⁠Why Rice? - ⁠Why an MBA? - ⁠What are you bringing to the MBA community at Rice? - ⁠Tell me about a time you worked with diverse team. - ⁠Open question - tell me about anything you’ll like to add to this interview for me to take to the admissions committee. All this lasted for about 20mins at most. - Any questions I have for him. This lasted for about ten minutes. I asked 2 questions only but it was a very interactive session so the 10mins went by so fast. I enjoyed the conversation and I think it went really well.

Interview with Kate Many questions based on resume (focus on my career trajectory) Strength & Weakness If I asked your colleagues, friends & supervisor to describe you in three words, what would they say? I was asked to give 9 traits from friends, my supervisor, people who report to me, and she picked one of them to ask me “how will contribute this trait you to Impact Project” Why Emory ST/LT goal My current project at work She had so many questions to ask, so she asked me to be concise and no need to provide explanation & story.

Just done with my marshall interview. -Why mba? -Why marshall? -Why America? -What you do for fun? -How will you go back to studies after so much work exp? -What would be your roadblocks at that? -any questions for me?

It was conversational. Barely 1-2 questions from the interviewer Then it's up to you. You could talk about clubs, recruitment opportunities or any other resources you may want to learn about. It's really an opportunity to learn more about the college directly from the ad com. I feel that this interview is genuinely a vibe check -> So, make sure you come across as authentic and be yourself!

I had my interview yesterday with Megan. Same questions plus TMAT: handling conflicts within the team, showcasing leadership. Very conversational. She asked me follow up questions based on what I answered.

- Tell me about how you grew in your career as a professional? (I assume this is “walk me through your resume” but worded this way because I’m still at my first job) - ⁠⁠Where do you feel like you’ve been able to grow as a leader either at work or outside of work? - What do you hope to learn/gain from MBA? (In context of reaching my career goals) - ⁠How do you face conflicting information? What do you do when you have to make a difficult decision while managing different perspectives? I’ll also add that the interviewer did interrupt me a couple times to ask questions in the middle of my self-intro. (Where my hometown was, how I found the experience with my international move, why I chose my undergrad program, if my undergrad program met my expectations) Overall she was timing and wording questions in a way that made them feel more genuine and conversational. She also asked me towards the end if I knew a particular program at Darden that she thought I’d be interested in - I had to say no

Here are the questions I was asked. The interview took about an hour. Show personal ID Introduce yourself Follow-up questions Short-term and long-term goals? Why Darden? TMAT when someone had a different opinion from yours and how you handled it What do you usually do outside of work (other than what you just mentioned)? Any community service experience? Which clubs at Darden are you interested in joining? Any international exposure? Any questions for me?
