Interview Experience: The interview was conversational and flowed smoothly. Mandy was warm and approachable, which made it easy to engage and share my experiences.

Her background as a recent graduate and Admissions Committee member provided unique insights, and she created a comfortable atmosphere that encouraged open discussion.

Hi folks, I had my interview with Diana Fleming last night. She was really nice and the whole interview felt very conversational. She'd occasionally interrupt, in a good way, to add her comments or ask questions as you go through your resume/background. Some major takeaways: - She intently followed the 30-minute time limit; the last 5 minutes left for questions - The standard questions I got: Tell me about yourself/walk me through your resume, why MBA now, why Goizueta.) - At least half of my questions/time was spent on follow-up questions based on my background, which I think happens very often in Goizueta's interviews. So I'd suggest future interviewees be prepared for that. (Questions like, tell me a little more about this particular experience, what you've learned in this experience, etc.) I got caught off guard a bit when she asked me those "unexpected" follow-up questions, but I think I did ok overall. Hope for the best!

Start of Interview: - They stated at the start all they have is my resume and nothing else. - Told me it will be straight forward with no tricks. - They'll be pausing to take notes. - Decision will be released on decision date. Questions asked in order (From what I remeber) 1. Walk me through your resume, current roles and responsibilities (Most recent 1-2 jobs). I jumped around a bit and touched upon 4-5 since they had some overlapping skills I wanted to talk/bring up. 2. Why an MBA - Talked about why a one-year MBA was my choice and what I'll get out of the MBA 3. Short and Long term career goals - I discussed both as well as highlighting my target industries 4. What is a strength you bring to your team/classmates 5. What is a weakness of yours that you will bring to your team/classmates 6. Tell me about your undergrade or education? 7.

­I interviewed with Diana a few weeks ago. The interview was very conversational and fairly straightforward. She started off by talking about her background, her role at Emory, and then we jumped right into the "Tell me about yourself" questions. I spoke about my background and why I want an MBA now, why Goizueta, short/long-term goals, and then she asked me some curveball questions about my experience. I think I had a really great response to them even though I hadn't prepared for them, but the curveball questions were: 1) Can you name a company you really admire how they operate 2) If you were brought on as a strategy consultant for the military (prior military and consulting background), what would be the first thing you'd change? After that I had about 5 minutes to ask her some questions. Hope that helps and best of luck!­

I interviewed with Kate yesterday and I would say it was the hardest of all. Be very well versed in your CV she asked be details about 2 specific lines about one of my roles. She asks short questions. My usual question range in other interviews was around 7-8 but yesterday I am sure she asked more than 15 small questions. even questions like why mba and why goizeutta were asked in a short way and I was supposed to answer in a 1 min or so . She seems nice but is firm she will cut you off if you speak too long. Definitely an old school type of interview. I enjoyed it.

I was just interviewed with Kate. She was generally nice and encouraged me to talk about my experience. The interview was precisely 30 minutes, was in-depth, but not pushy. I generally enjoyed it. The questions are: 1/ Why & how I moved in ever job 2/ LT-ST goals 3/ Why Emory 4/ How these people would describe you: Your direct reports? Your managers? Your family? 5/ Your leadership style 6/ What was the thing you most regretted about your career Good luck to all of you with the interviews! Now I’m moving to the next phase of constant worries & panicks

Interview was quite conversational, with general question. Mine focussed more on the ’Why’ around things rather than talking through experiences. 1. Walk me through why how you received various roles in your resume, and why you chose those roles 2. Time you had to face a challenge, and why it was difficult for you 3. Why did you pick your extra curriculars, what did you learn from them 4. 3 biggest strengths and why you are proud of them 5. What do you bring to the class 6. What is your proudest accomplishments/why 7. Anything you want to add But I was asked to keep answers extremely short, and the interviewer had multiple follow up questions for each based on my answers - pretty basic stuff to understand more about your motivation/learning/experience and how you can use that in the future My Interviewer was Kate Piasecki if that helps

Interview Debrief I had my interview with Kate Piasecki. Overall pretty chill and straightforward. A lot of focus on why I chose what I did in my professional life.

Had an interview with Kate Piasecki. It was conversational but quite intense in term of questions. Interview lasted 25-27mins and a 5-7mins for questions to Adcom. I was asked about 15 questions, a lot of them are about reasons I did this and that. 1. Why did you come to the U.S. to study for undergrad, why your major? 2.

I just had my interview. I feel really good about it. My adcom made it comfortable and conversational. It was about getting to know me. Very straightforward. They weren’t trying to trick me or quiz me. 1. Why mba? 2. Why now? 3. Why Goizueta? 4. Walk me through your resume, a few follow up or clarification questions. 5. Why your undergrad? 6. What will you bring to Emory? 7. Tell me about your current role and if you oversee anyone. 8. What’s your post mba plan? Which location? 9. What questions do you have for me. They seemed to be on a strict 30 minute limit but I had 6 minutes or so for questions. They didn’t ask if I had talked to any alumni I had spoken with nor any clubs/classes that I was interested in. The adcom had reviewed my resume but not my application. A second person does that and they correlate together and with the team to make a decision.
