Welcome back to Wiki Wednesdays, a weekly column in which we highlight some of the latest interview reports added to the Clear Admit Wiki. We’ve received a handful of great interview reports this past week, namely for: Chicago Booth, Cornell / Johnson, Harvard Business School, Northwestern / Kellogg and Wharton. We’d like to thank everyone for continuing to share their experiences in the Clear Admit Wiki!
Let’s take look at a couple of the newest reports before covering the contest. A Round 2 candidate for Harvard Business School shared the following questions from an interview with an adcom member:
- Since last year, you got promoted. How did your leadership style evolve to deserve that promotion?
- How are you different from all the other consultants?
- You seem very busy, you have a lot of [extracurricular] activities. If you had more time, what would you do more?
- How do you keep yourself informed? What do you read?
An accepted Round 2 candidate at Cornell / Johnson recounted the following questions, as posed by an adcom member:
- Walk me through your resume and experience.
- Which immersion would best fit your goals?
- Tell me about a time you experienced conflict. How did you resolve it?
- Did you bring anything else besides your resume you would like to share?
