Naveen Jindal (UT Dallas)

"I was interviewed twice. Once by Adcom and another time by Alum. Both interviews were done almost a week apart. 17th March: Adcom Interview Questions asked by Adcom were: 1. Tell me about yourself 2. Why MBA and why UTD? 3. Challenges that you will face if admitted to the UTD MBA program 4. Any leadership roles that I have taken up in my professional career so far. 5.How UTD MBA curriculum will help me achieve my future career goals. 6. Any other schools or programs that I have applied to. Last but not least she asked if I had any questions for her. The interview lasted for about 15 minutes and Adcom was very supportive throughout the interview process. She asked me to stay put and wait for an alum interview if everything went okay. After 3-4 days, I received an email from alum to schedule a meeting. 24th March: Alum interview Questions asked were: 1. Tell me about yourself 2. Why UTD and why MBA now 3. My vision towards my future career goals. 4. Any questions if I had for Alum. The interview lasted for about 10 to 12 minutes and was more on an informal note."

"I had two interviews, one with adcom and one with the alum Adcom Interview: Standard interview 1) Tell me about yourself and why MBA and short term goals 2) why JSOM - Important question ( unless you know clearly about the school and have researched properly , we cant answer this properly. I took my majority of the time to explain my answer for this question. 3) Clarification on STEM (only dual degrees qualify for STEM in JSOM) 4) what is the biggest challenge I will be facing for an MBA 5) any questions for them Alum: Conversational Same questions but he was keen about understanding more about the job and responsibilites I am currently in and sharing their experiences of how JSOM helped shape their careers."
