Welcome once again to Wiki Wednesday, where we look at the latest interview reports that MBA applicants have contributed to the Clear Admit Wiki. We’ve gotten some great new additions this week, including accounts of interviews at Northwestern / Kellogg, Georgetown / McDonough, UNC / Kenan-Flagler, and UCLA / Anderson. Recently, a Round 1 applicant to London Business School encountered these questions during an alumni interview:
- Where are you in the application process?
- Explain a typical day in your job.
- Why MBA?
- Explain your leadership style
- [What are your] weaknesses?
- [Describe a] professional failure/setback?
- Any issues when working with diverse international teammates?
- [I was] given a simple enough topic and 5 minutes to prepare [a presentation].
- Any questions for me?
If you’re interested in sharing your interview experience, over the next few weeks we’ll be awarding a $10 Amazon gift certificate to every fifth applicant who submits content for the Wiki! All you have to do is send us your interview field report for inclusion in the Wiki and, if you’re selected, we’ll send you a $10 Amazon gift certificate. You must send your interview report to wiki@clearadmit.com to be eligible; we’ll post it to the Wiki and notify the winners by e-mail (Limit: one gift card per person).
The most helpful and informative reports usually include the following information:
- Date/Admissions Round
- Description of visit and/or interview atmosphere
- Type of interview (alum vs. adcom, blind vs. application-based)
- List of interview questions
- Commentary (What did you think of the interview? What surprised you? What didn’t surprise you? What might you conclude about the school based on this experience?)
A special thanks to everyone who has shared their interview experiences and helped fellow applicants! Applicants who would like to supplement the information available on the Wiki can check out our Clear Admit Interview Guides, which provide school-specific insight about admissions interviews. Good luck to those currently undergoing interviews!
