Hi all,
I did my interview yesterday with Emily.
Questions asked were:
1. Why MBA?
2. Long-term and short-term goal
3. Alternative plan
4. Why Tepper
5. A time when I worked on some projects and learnt something unexpected/ non-intended
6. How my Operations experiences help my goal
7. A time when I had a disagreement/conflict within team
8. A time when I didn't have the information I needed. What did I do.
9. Experiences working with people from different cultures
10. Since I mentioned that I live in Singapore, a culturally diverse country - what are the differences I notice. Elaborate on my bosses who are from different countries
11. Any achievement that I am proud of outside of work (I shared about my learning a third language recently)
12. Any question to her
I realized that I got asked an awful lot of questions in 35 min. Not sure whether it's because I talked too fast... Maybe next time I will talk real slow to eat away the time...

I had my interview yesterday with Tepper. The format seemed to follow the majority of what has been reported in last year's Intake thread. It was as follows:
- A statement that it was a blind interview. Only saw my CV but not my application. I was encouraged to repeat, if necessary, what I may have outlined in my essay(s).
- Walk me through your CV and how you got to where you are
- I am working as an Independent Consultant - so I was asked how difficult it was to get new clients
- Why I am doing the MBA
- Plan B, if Plan A does not work out
- Behavioral Interview Phase:
- Time when I had a difficult time working with some. What did I learn
- Time when I had learnt something when working with someone in a group. What did I learn
- Asked me about what I do outside of work (whether I learned something that was not related to work) - so I talked about me being a Muay Thai Practitioner
- Final Portion was questions about Tepper.
Compared to the past, I know the behavioral section was quite small - but I had problems with Skype every now and then and the call got dropped once as well. So it was a bit of a mess but hopefully I did enough.
Interviewer did keep me relaxed though I did feel nervous at times but that is to be expected I supposed. Anyway, hoping I dont get the "decline" email/message in December.

The interview was a general conversation with regular questions:

2. Why Tepper?
3. Leadership situation? Your style of leadership
4. Some follow up questions about what did you learn and where did you implement the learning.

10. A situation when you had lack on information? What did you do what did you learn?
11. Situation when you had to deal with different teams? What did you do what did you learn
12. Questions about my short-term goal?
13. Plan B if I do not get recruited in the company I want?
14. Questions about what has changed from last year?
15. Questions about my start-up?
16. Any questions to ask?
I think these were the major questions that were asked. Did not look these many while i was answering them :D
Make sure you have 4 - 5 situations ready to use in various scenarios. You can use one situation in multiple scenarios though.
Treat it like a conversation and you will do well.
