"Had my Tuck interview on 10th Jan.
The interview was for about 35 mins.
Started with standard questions
Tell me about you? Why MBA? Why Tuck? How tuck will help you achieve your aspirations? what are the things you wish to do in Tuck? what do you bring to tuck?
Then onto some behavioural questions:
Tell me about a time you failed?
tell me about a time you handled conflicts? what is your biggest accomplishment and why.
And then there were a few off topic questions:
Do you want to talk about something that is special to you (not exactly worded like this, but this was kind of what they were asking)
Then towards the end, “do you think I should have asked you something but I didn’t, you can talk about it”
Then questions I have for the interviewer.
The interviewer was very friendly and nice, I felt at ease from the word go. Fingers crossed 🤞"
