This account of the NYU Stern admissions interview was recently shared on the Clear Admit Wiki, a free resource for applicants to post their experiences with the MBA admissions process. The Round 2 applicant was interviewed on-campus by an admissions committee member.
“Like all the other candidates, I was greeted with a packet of information based on my interests as well as a Stern tshirt. My interviewer was an Associate Director of Admissions and she was quite pleasant. After the initial chitchat about my travel to NYC, we got straight to the interview:
1. How did I choose my undergraduate education?
2. What is your career progression?
3. What are your strengths? Weaknesses?
4. Why do you want to get an MBA?
5. Why do you want to come to Stern?
6. What will you do if you can’t get in your industry of choice?
7. What are some classes you’d like to take at Stern?
8. Questions for her?
I think that was about it. Hopefully this is helpful. Hope for an admit in the next few weeks!”
