Welcome to Wiki Wednesdays, in which we set a spotlight on the latest submissions to the Clear Admit Wiki, an online repository for MBA applicants to share their experiences with admissions interviews. We’ve received a number of great interview reports this past week! Be sure to check out the latest posts for: Chicago Booth, Columbia Business School, London Business School, NYU / Stern and Wharton. We’d like to thank everyone for continuing to share their experiences in the Clear Admit Wiki!
Before getting into contest details, let’s take look at a couple of the latest contributions. A candidate for Columbia interviewed with a second-year student, who asked the following questions:
- Give me an example of a time when you worked in a team or as a leader.
- Discuss an ethical dilemma you have experienced.
- Talk about a time when you’ve faced adversity.
- What will you do if you can’t attend business school this year?
A Round 2 applicant to Wharton shared the following questions, as posed by an alumnus:
- What are you most proud of?
- If you had 1 million dollars, what would you do with it?
- If you were an alumni interviewer, what would be your two most important questions to the applicant? ([The interviewer] then asked me to answer these questions.)
- Give me two strengths and two weaknesses and provide actual examples.
- How do you imagine yourself 20 years from now?
