We’re in the thick of MBA interview season and we’d like to lead off with a big “thank you!” to those candidates who have shared their interview questions in the Clear Admit Wiki, a community sharing point for MBA applicants to expand on their experiences with the MBA admissions process! A Round 2 applicant to USC / Marshall shared the following questions from a second-year student:
“I interviewed on campus with a second year student during one of the Saturday interview rounds for R2. Interviewer seemed to only have my resume and hadn’t read other aspects of my application.
- Tell me about yourself.
- Hobbies/Interesting Activities?
- Why MBA & why USC?
- Tell me about how you prioritize your work.
- Talk about a leadership experience.
- Tell me about a weakness.
Interview was fairly conversational, although the interviewer kept a good poker face on the whole time. Result: Admitted.”
