In the midst of interview season, we are accruing several reports from MBA candidates in the Clear Admit Wiki, a free resource for MBA applicants to review and share their experiences with the admissions process. This week, a Round 2 candidate for Michigan / Ross shared the following experience with a local alum:
“I applied R2 and interviewed with an alum in my city. I met him near his workplace and the interview was informal. He asked the following questions:
- Walk me through your resume (asked questions about the orgs I worked for).
- Why do you want your MBA?
- Why Ross?
- What do you want to get involved in on campus?
- What is your learning style?
- What do you consider your proudest achievement?
- Talk about a disappointment.
The interview was about 45 minutes long, and I had enough time to ask 3-4 questions. This was my first interview during the bschool application process, so was a bit nervous. But it’s really not necessary to be nervous! All the bschool interviews I’ve had were quite informal and conversational. Don’t fret about the interviews too much (the hardest parts are already over!!) and just let your story shine through. I was accepted, so very excited! Good luck everyone!”
