For those who intervieed, it would be greatly appreciated if you can
share some insights: what you wore, how long it took, who you were interviewed by, questions you were asked, and how much info they knew about you before the interview.
Thanks!
Hi, yes I interviewed back in July and was admitted 2 weeks later. I started Stern last month.
The interview was fairly straight forward. The interviewer was very familiar with my résumé and application.
The big take away I had from the interview was that NYU wanted to clarify why I exactly i wanted an MBA (I have non-tradition career). I had a strong application, but maybe didn't explain well enough in the essays why...
Most questions were - why MBA, why Stern, what will u do after MBA, how will MBA help your career, what's your back-up plan after MBA, how will you be involved in Stern (have exact clubs in mind), what positions would you take in clubs and why (know diff. types of officers and why u would run for the job...even if u wouldn't). And of course be prepared to answer traditional questions about your background and current job.
One random q I was asked was: If you were to write a book about yourself, what would the title be?
I wore a suit, but not too conservative (I'm a girl). The interview took about 45min.
Good luck all and don't worry, if u are invited to interview as a part-timer, my guess is that you are 90% admitted, they just want clarify some things about you.
