My interview was very formal.

It was a set sequence of questions on leadership (apart from intro/why questions). The interview went like Question-my answer-"aah,ok,cool,great"-followup/next question. This was a skype interview and interview was over in 40 mins. I did have a lot of questions for the interviewer but I wanted to make sure that I was sticking to short/crisp responses too.

The most formal MBA interviews I have had after 5 interviews, very different from what I was expecting after reading some of the comments here.

EDIT - Interview went for about 30 mins (as per skype timer) and last 10 mins was questions.

Hello all! Checking in after an awesome weekend in Ann Arbor. For those of you still left to interview here's the rundown of what to expect:

My interviewer was a second year student, and the entire experience was very casual and laid back. He asked:
- Walk me through your resume
- He picked out a few things on my resume and we talked over those for a few minutes
- Why Ross
- Why now
- Tell me about how you handled a conflict
- Strengths/Weaknesses
- Leaders you admire
- 5-10 year plan
- Questions

Overall my interview lasted about 35 minutes and I only got about 5 for questions, which is ok because I had done so much research on Ross I didn't have that much to ask.

Afterwards a bunch of the other interviewees got together and went out to dinner and drinks, and a couple of us met up the next day for the football game and The Bus. Overall everyone at Ross met my expectation of being super down to earth and humble, while still extremely talented and driven, and at the end of the day know how to party and have fun. Like I said, it was an awesome experience and if anyone has any questions let me know. As for now I'm just keeping my fingers crossed until the 16th!

Thanks everyone who shared their interview experiences here. In addition to what you have posted, I am re-posting here few good interview debriefs collected from previous Ross discussions for those who are about to be interviewed.

missionphd

Interviewed with an Alumni. Most common advice - Keep your story straight

Basics

Walk through your resume post under-grad (Highlight promotions, if any)
Why transition to MBA
What are short term and long term goals

Behavioural

What is your leadership style?
How would you begin working with a new team?
How will you manage a nightmare team-member?
An inspiring leader and why?
A set-back?
Two industry trends?

Best of luck!!

Had interview last night Oct 29th in D.C with former student who graduated in May and now works in the area. She had only seen my resume before last night:
Very conversational...we interrupted each other many times to both clarify and ask questions.

1) Walk me through from undergrad till now
2) Managing a team- what is your leadership style
**those two questions took a lot of time
3) is there anything you want to talk about (she mentioned that she hated preparing for an interview and then not be able to talk about certain things that she preped for)
4) then opened it up for questions
We had a lot in common so the 1st two questions took up over 30 minutes. Total interview 45ish minutes.

Cheers

Just a Quick Interview Debrief for those who are about to be interviewed:

Interview was extremely conversational and it was conducted by 2nd year student who luckily had similar career goals as I have.

Points of Discussion:
(It was naturally a very resume driven conversation since they only have our resumes)

Walk me through your resume..
A teamwork experience.. ( Primarily from resume too)
Difficult person in a team experience and how you reacted or managed?
How would your boss describe you ( I stressed for more bad qualities than good !! :D )
Two experiences from my resume were discussed ( Make sure you know your resume)
WHY MBA? WHY ROSS? CAREER GOALS?

Last 5 minutes were given to ask questions and I asked about consulting and social life at Ross.

Irrespective of the outcome, please dont stress out as this one will be extremely conversational. Try to enjoy it ! Smile ! the person opposite you was at your place an year ago so he understands what you are going through!!

Best of Luck to all of us !!

Visited Ross for on-campus interview on 7th of November.
There was Welcome, Interview, team exercize, Q&A with currents tudents, campus tour. It was an amazing day at Ross!
The event was very well organized. Team exercize was funny and collaborative, nothing difficult. I liked it.

Interview questions:
1) Walk me through your resume
2) ST and LT career goals?
3) Why MBA?
4) Why Ross?
5) How you will contribute?

I'm a little late in posting this. Had my off-campus interview about 10 days back. Went okay, not great.
Was a bit thrown by the order of the questions and the way they were phrased, making my answers a little jumbled. Plus my nervousness didn't help, this being my first interview..

Why MBA? Why Now?
Why Ross?
Have you spoken to current students / alumni / admissions officers from Ross?
A time / project when you got in knowing nothing. What was the scope? How did it turn out?
A time when you stepped out of your comfort zone. What did you learn?
A time when you made a mistake / something you regret. What did you learn?
A challenge you faced at work. How did you cope? What did you learn?
Have you mentored anyone? What did you get out of the experience?
Is there any question you wish I'd asked you, but didn't? Anything else you wish for me to know about yourself?

It lasted around 45 mins with the last 10 mins being questions.

Can you tell us a little about what your current role is? Where do you see yourself in the future? Looking back, what was your favorite part of Ross? Thanks for doing this!

I'm in a commercial contract role in tech, basically I own the business relationship with the factories that produce our products (the ones I support at least).

I really enjoy this type of role (operations) and look to stay in operations in the future.

Favorite part of Ross: being in a low risk environment and taking full advantage of that. Doing case competitions, working with start ups through the center for entrepreneurship (at the engineering college at Michigan). It's not very often you get to exist in a low risk environment for two years, so my advise is take full advantage of risk taking since the real world is far less forgiving. The start up community at the college of engineering at michigan is VERY active, so it's great to get involved there early on.
