Welcome back to Wiki Wednesdays, in which we take a closer look at the most recently posted interview reports in the Clear Admit Wiki, an online repository for MBA applicants to share their experiences regarding the admissions process. Before getting into contest details, let’s take a peek at the latest contribution!
A Round 2 applicant to NYU / Stern shared the following questions, as posed by a member of the adcom:
1. Can you tell me about your previous work experience?
2. What’s the most challenge you face at your work?
3. What’s the main difference between your current position and your goals?
4. Why do you want to pursue an MBA?
5. What programs and activities attract you at NYU? And what clubs will you participate?
6. If you are admitted to other programs, what criteria your decision will be based on?
7. How will your friends describe you?
