Had interview with a Darden alumni this afteroon. Not a typical business school interivew. We talked about different issues for almost one hour. It's just a casual chat, not a question-answer session. Mayby my experience is different. I heard that alumni interview would be a typical one and the interviewer will ask questions like a question-machine. This alumni was not like a mahcine, at all. I feel admission office interview is more to the point than an alumni one. Probably, the admission officers are more consicious of what they are doing while an alumni does not have such consciousness. The admission officers can ask questions which are not covered in the essays. They are clear they want to use the interview as a chance to know more about an applicant and so to make the decision. Well, the alumni obviously knows less about the applicant. So far, I had two telephone interviews with schools and one alumni interivew. I would say telephone interview would make more sense. If I can choose, I would choose admission office interview. |
