University of Rochester Interview [#permalink] New post   24 Feb 2019, 21:21
Hello,
I have been invited for an online interview for the MS in Finance program at the University of Rochester. I would like to get some insight on the interview process so I can prepare. What type of questions do they ask? Thank you for your help.

Hey tkk3, thank you very much for the insight. I will definitely prepare for that. Do you know how long after the interview they update you with a decision? Thanks

Wow that was fast. Congrats!
If you don't mind me asking, are you thinking about accepting or are you waiting for other programs?

Thank you! I am hoping for better admits as of now. The deposit date for Rochester is in mid March so I'll just wait and watch.

University of Rochester follows a quite relaxed approach towards the interviews that can range from 20-40 minutes. However some pointers to keep in mind for the interview would be :
(1)Dress in a business attire
(2)Call on time since it an online interview (be sure to check the time difference if you are calling from outside the U.S.)
(3)Rather than repeating essays or reading off your resume, be prepared to go into more detail by providing specific examples to their questions
(4)Also prepare 2-3 questions that you would like to ask the interviewer to learn more about the program
Some interview questions that you could prepare would be :
(1)Why Masters in Finance?
(2)Why Masters in Finance at Rochester?
(3)Assuming had unlimited funds, describe an experiment you would conduct?
(4)Why do you want to be a graduate student?
(5)Why would you be a good fit at Rochester?
Thus, be prepared to discuss your background and interest in graduate study and specifically your interest in attending the Simon Graduate School of Business
