Just finished my interview. A bit different than other schools - for sure. Don’t be like me, where I didn’t see the requirement that an ID was required. So I had to remove my background effect (needless to say, a messy room). It was a 2nd year student and had questions regarding GPA, GMAT, Quant proficiency, etc...

Hi There, I'm done. Quick Brief; The interviewer told me not to think she isn't paying attention if I see her looking elsewhere; it's because she's taking notes. Please note it isn't a blind interview as well. Questions Asked: - Introduce yourself and give context to your resume and how you got to this point you're at now - Why now - What is your leadership style - Where do you want to work post-MBA - Have you marked out how you're going to achieve this? - Would you like to live in Ithaca? - In what city do you intend to live/work post-MBA - Do you have any questions (s)for me? That's all, thanked each other. She also mentioned that I would hear back from the school in November.

What is your short-term and long-term goal? 5. Why consulting? 6. How have you prepared yourself for intensive recruitment for consulting? 7. Have you participated in any pre-MBA consulting programs? 8. What's your plan B if consulting doesn't work out? I'm not sure how well I did.

My Interview was done on 16th Nov by a second year student. She was not even remotely connected to my domain so it was very mechanical on her part, though I would say she tried her best. It started with small talk about weather, cricket world cup, etc 1. TMAY 2. Why MBA 3. Why Johnson 4. What kind of a leader you want to be? 5. What you want to learn outside the classroom? 6. Anything i didnt ask 7. questions for her I would say I gave it pretty well, hoping for the best!

Tell me about yourself 2. What are you looking to get out of an MBA 3. Goals 4. I didn't get any explicit TMAT questions - just about my experience in project management, recruiting plan, back-up plan Lasted a little over 30 minutes with my questions at the end included in time (roughly 20 minute interview 10 minute questions from me).

Had my interview yesterday. I thought it went really well. All the questions you would expect to be asked, but very conversational. Unfortunately he told me he they weren’t expecting to release decisions until between March 17 through April 6th. So it’s gonna be a long wait.
