Other questions she meant to ask but were covered in some of answers (She mentioned that you have already covered so and so hence won't ask you about that): 1. What are some clubs you are interested in? 2. Who is a person you look up to? 45 mins long interview and 15 mins of me asking questions. Interviewer was a second year student, was super friendly and added her own views about my questions and answers to keep it more conversational. The sheer number of Talk about questions threw me off to be honest, I was struggling to find answers which could cover the length and breadth of my skills. Will be helpful to prepare examples before hand for such questions.

1. Tell me about yourself 2. Example of teamwork or collaboration / how did you create an impact in the org/ a particular thing that I'd mentioned 3. What did you learn from the team? 4. What will you do at Fuqua? 5. What will you learn from Fuqua? <> 6. Weaknesses, how will Fuqua help you overcome that 7. Extra curricular activities at Fuqua 8. Community or volunteering experiences It went really well. The interviewer was friendly, warm and seemed genuinely interested. Be prepared to know Fuqua in and out, they grill you on that.

I normally wouldn't post about this but I had a pretty negative experience during my Fuqua interview. My student interviewer and I just did not click from the start. He grilled me on every little thing I said, and it felt like all my answers had a counterattack, vs just a follow up question. It truly made me feel uncomfortable. He also asked some very odd and specific questions, like how I would "speak to" international students on my learning team. It left a really bad taste in my mouth and to be quite honest I don't think I'm considering Fuqua anymore.

Has anyone had an interview where you weren't asked behavioral questions? The lack of behavioral questions has me very nervous. Is this an automatic ding? Questions: Tell me about yourself? Why an MBA? What are your 3 strongest qualities? What are you working on? How do you want to impact the Fuqua community? What does team Fuqua mean to you? I feel as if I was talking a bit too much and then there were no behavioral questions which makes me super nervous. What do you think?

Had an on-campus interview with a current 2nd year student. Questions mostly were expected, touched on the following: - Go over your resume - Why MBA - Why Fuqua - Tell me about a leadership experience - What makes a 'good leader' - Tell me about a time you failed as a team member One question I did not expect was: - Tell me about the power of diversity in teams Overall a positive experience. I attended the complete set of events that day - class session, first-years sitting and talking with us (very well managed), adcom member chatting with us and finally Fuqua Friday (all of us were looking forward to it). Loved the Fuqua culture and definitely can see myself investing 2 years of my life here.

I entered his office. He asked me to remain very comfortable. He received me very warmly. Asked me to remove my coat if I wanted to. I was really impressed with his reception. DID NOT ASK ME anything on my resume. This alum is very busy( looking at his profile) so its possible that he is too busy to have gone through my resume. Asked my why I chose my branch in engineering. Asked me a few questions about how I manage teams. Seemed OK with my answer. Not that impressed. GRILLED ME very thoroughly on if Fuqua was my first choice. He seemed very intent on knowing this fact. Like “ what will I do if Tuck offers you full tuition and Fuqua doesn’t offer you any scholarship.” Asked me why I volunteer. How do your friends describe you..? Asked me to tell me 5 things from fuqua 25 things list. Listed 3. He was OK with it. Found one common point with him in those 3. WHY MBA…? He was OK with the answer I gave I felt. What is the one quality that a leader should have..? Also how will your friends describe you ( was able to keep this part lighthearted) DID NOT ASK why short term or long term. He was from a background opposite to mine. I sometimes felt he just hated my line of work. He did not even look at my resume thoroughly. I spoke about the consulting club. He was OK with it. I also said the consulting club will help me achieve my short term goal. Seemed cool. Then we spoke about 1/2 hr about what he does. He seemed really interested in me. He wanted me to do well in life. He gave me a lot of tips. A few tips on how to improve my outlook on life. I was so really impressed actually with what we had spoken about. He lastly said I was a good guy and will do well in life. He kept interspersing the interview with things like “Even of you don’t get the final invite, I think you will do well in life”. He expressed some doubts about my age. Another feedback he gave after the interview was that I should have been a little more specific about my long term goal. Not sure if this will be the deal breaker. He did end up liking my long term goal though ( which was why he probably said so). This interview is really a googly. Not sure about anything. He concentrated a lot on behavioural questions. Not a single question from my resume. I repeat. NOT A SINGLE QUESTION FROM MY RESUME.
