Welcome back to another installment of Wiki Wednesdays, a weekly column in which we set the spotlight on some of the latest interview reports added to the Clear Admit Wiki. We’ve received a number of great interview reports this past week, namely for: London Business School, MIT / Sloan, Northwestern / Kellogg, Stanford GSB and Wharton. Let’s take a closer look at a couple of the newest reports before covering the contest…
A Round 3 candidate for Northwestern / Kellogg shared the following questions from an interview with an alumnus:
- Why do you want to make this particular career transition? What attracts you to the field? (not exact words, but that was the general sense)
- What five words would your friends use to describe you? Then: If you heard them use these words, what one would make you the proudest?
- Do you find yourself filling leadership gaps in a group when they exist?
- What is the one thing in your life that you are the proudest of?
A Round 2 applicant to London Business School recounted the following questions, as posed by an alumnus:
- You already have great finance experience to achieve your goals. Why do you need an MBA?
- Why LBS? How LBS differentiates from the other school you applied to?
- Do you have any back up plan in case your goals are not achievable?
- Could you describe your extracurriculars?
- How will you contribute to the school?
