Tuck MBA Early Action / On-campus / Second Year Student / Mid-September
It was very laid back, as expected. My interviewer was a 2nd year student who was very friendly. We chatted on the walk from the admissions office to the interview room. It was relaxed and cordial. He started with the disclaimer that he would be taking notes, and not to let it throw me off, because he was listening. Questions he asked:
Walk me through you resume
I see experience in country XX, tell me about that.
Why MBA? Why now?
Why Tuck?
Talk about a time you worked in a team.
Talk about a time you disgreed with your boss/supervisor and how it was resolved.
Imagine you are selling yourself to the adcom. What are the three things about yourself you would want them to know?
Any questions for interviewer.
In general, the interview was exactly what I had expected based on my research of Tuck. Laid back, not much in the way of behavioral questions, and a focus on teamwork. I'd say prepare thoroughly for the Why Tuck question and have a solid idea of how you want to walk through your resume. |
