I was completely unprepared for this last question. Note that I've already completed three other MBA interviews and I haven't been asked this question before.

Overall, the interview was pretty conversational. Hope this helps and good luck to everyone!
Wow, what a crazy last question...I wonder what the purpose of asking that question is?
Just curious, where else did you interview?
I think they just want to get a feel for how you approach and solve problems. To be honest, I stumbled over this question at first because I totally wasn't expecting it. It's really more like a question from a consulting interview.
I interviewed at both Kellogg and Booth Round 1 and got denied at both. I also did a Consortium interview back in Dec. Now I'm gearing up for a Columbia interview in a few weeks. I'm crossing my fingers that Round 2 will treat me better and at this point, I just want 1 admit!
Is Notre Dame your first choice?
It all depends on where I get in. I currently have interviews scheduled for Michigan and Darden, and was waitlisted at Duke in R1. But I have to say, this interview scheduling thing is kinda annoying...I don't understand why the school can put out a list of available time slots and let applicants sign up. When I sent in my interview request, I put the 1st, hoping to hear back from them quickly, but I didn't and now I'm unable to go on the 1st. I emailed them back with some other dates that I am available, and hopefully they can respond quickly.
BTW, for those flying, are you flying into SB or are you flying into chicago and driving?
