A new Anderson Interview Debrief has just been posted: https://gmatclub.com/forum/anderson-187/interview_debrief.html#debrief-2045

Has anyone else been getting a ton of emails from student groups and the admissions ambassadors?? I'm curious to find out if I'm the only one and if this is good news regarding a potential admission

My interview went on for like 33 minutes. So we hadnt discussed anything from my latest firm, so when the interviewer asked me if I had any questions, I told her that I hope we had discussed something from Amazon (latest company) as well and she asked a bunch of questions and after 30 minutes, she said time is over and after that I requested her to gave 2-3 minutes for a few questions from my side. I think this was a big mistake from my side and will cost my admission. Any idea?

Don’t overthink, all is good. The positive end of it is that you were able to tell your experiences from your latest company ( I assume you were prepared for this and wanted to tell a few points).

Haha! Yeah but when I asked her if she wanted to know more, she asked about extracurricular instead. So didnt really get a chance to tell about Amazon. Also another reason why we couldnt cover a lot was that it was a very communicational interview. Around 7-8 minutes of the interview, the interviewer also pitching in about her experiences. Not sure if that happens in every interview!

Yeah also I felt they have a fixed set of questions that they feel they have to ask no matter what by the time interview ends. So they also rush things up a little if you are taking too much to answer. You got done with it. Let’s hope for the best now!
