Well, just finished the interview with UNC. I was interviewed by a member of admission team and I felt very disappointed at the attitude and preparation of the interviewer. I asked two specific questions about investment class and one question about the degree of which an international applicant could borrow loans to finance his or her education. She didn’t know. I was totally speechless!
She quizzed me as if I were a criminal lol. Cold face, minimal eye contact, smile two times (I can count number of time she smiled lol)
Here is the list of question:
1. Tell me about your job? What do you like most about it?
2. What is a typical day of your job?
3. What type of external partners are you dealing with?
4. What about internal parties?
5. How do you manage stress?
6. Your biggest accomplishment?
7. Your experience of failure?
8. Why UNC?
9. Career goals?Long-term and short-term?
10. Tell me about the occasion that led you to choose your desired career path
11. Tell me about your team work experience?
12. What characteristics are you looking for when recruiting team member?
13. What personal trait do you admire most about your boss?
14. What is the area of your boss that you believe can be improved?
15. Tell me about a time you failed and lesson learned?
16. What is your biggest accomplishment out side of work?
17. What is the best way in your opinion to develop your team member?
18. Any questions for me? I asked three and she didn’t know. So the last question is about ASW and thanks god, she knew!!!!!
The interview lasted 30 mins and 53 seconds!!
Good luck guys!
I think I understand why you would ask about specific courses, but why would an admissions member know anything specific about an investment class, outside of maybe the professor? That isn’t their job - you should ask those questions/ reach out to current students, professors and potentially alumni.
As for your financing question - again that would have nothing to do with him/her. The school isn’t a bank - it doesn’t offer financing. You do that separately. That’s something you should research on your own (google) to find the answer - it is out there and you do have options.
You may have saved yourself asking about ASW, but those other two were just odd questions to ask in an admissions interview. This isn’t KFBS specific advice, just for general MBA interview questions for you going forward. No need to bash the interviewer - this was on you.
