Here the flow of my interview.
Interviewer Introduction
Questions:
-Walk me through your resume.
-What are your short-term and long-term goals?
-Why an MBA, and why now?
-Why Emory Goizueta?
-How will you contribute to the class, and what do you hope to learn that is new?
-Share a success story you are proud of.
-What kind of leader are you?
-How did you contribute to the leadership activities mentioned on your resume — were they group or individual efforts?
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.

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.

2) Why MBA and Why Emory?
3) What are my St/LT
4) What does teamwork mean - what's idea of a good team to me?
5) What are my hobbies?
6) Strengths and Weaknesses
7) Anything you wish I asked?
8) Any questions for me?
Jillian, was nice, no followups or such! I am hoping the 20-25 min mark isn't discouraging

I’m an Emory undergrad + interviewed during an open interview period last month for R1 (you could do it if you went to the super Saturday event).
Interviewed with adcom. Was honestly really chill. I think I got asked about strengths and weaknesses, what I’m most proud of, short/long term goals etc

Just had the interview, surprisingly short - it was with Maggies Mathes and received similar questions as shared on this space
1. Resume Walkthrough
2. How does my day look like?
3. How would my colleagues describe me?
4. What’s my leadership style?
5. Why MBA? Why Emory?
I think we were done in about 20-22 mins (excluding my Qs). Not trying to read too much into it but it was a free flowing conversation

I interviewed with Rob and it was honestly one of the best interviews i have had. He did mention it was a blind interview and he was only going off my resume, so that means explains the emphasis on resume that some candidates talk about. But, it was around 30 minutes and it goes by fast. Some questions he asked:
General resume walkthrough
Why an mba
Why emory
Two or three strengths and opportunities
Tmat you worked in a great team and what made it work
Tmat you worked in a bad team and what made it bad
I hope this helps someone

Just finished my interview. It was with Jillian Stubbs. It was a surprisingly short interview and we were done in about 15 mins and for the rest of the time it was me asking random questions to her.
1. Tell me about your work experience (Not yourself, but work experience - So I only talked about my job)
2. How do you work in a team and what aspect is most important for team-work?
3. What are your motivations for pursuing an MBA and Why Goizueta?
4. What are your short term and long term goals? (I included my Plan-B as well, and she didn’t follow up on that)
5. Anything that you wanted me to ask
Post this, it was mostly me asking questions about her experience and stuff

I just completed an interview. It was with a member of admission committee. Except for the typical why mba, why Goizueta, I got asked a lot questions on my resume. So, make sure you are familiar what you put on your resume. Such as, Your duties, how many direct reports, challenges, promotions, ... etc. in addition, If there’s any employment gap, make sure you prepare and feel comfortable to explain. Good luck everyone

Interviewer: Kathleen Edwards
Duration: 30 minutes
Interview Questions:
1. First 5 minutes was pure small talk
2. Tell me about your journey.
3. Short Term and Long Term Goals
4. Why Goizueta?
5. Why did you apply for both the Part-Time and Full Time MBA programs?
6. What will you offer to fellow MBA students (if you did join)?
7. What would you like to learn from fellow MBA students (if you did join)?
8. Any questions for the interviewer?
All in all it was a very nonchalant interview which made it easy to show up authentically. I got a nice email from her the following Monday too! #CautiouslyOptimistic

7. Current project I’m working on. Not just responsibilities.
8. Why MBA?
9. Why Goizueta?
10. Follow-ups on ST/LT/Plan B goals and target companies).
11. Strengths/Values I’ll bring to Goizueta, along with a weakness.
