Duke MBA Round 3 / On-campus / Second-year Student (April 10th, 2010)
While Fuqua stresses that their interviews are about finding "fit" and most interviewees reported very conversational interviews, mine felt more like an interrogation with very specific questions and little chit-chat in between.
Tell me about yourself.
What do you plan on getting out of your MBA?
What kinds of personal growth are you looking for in business school? (Apparently teamwork and leadership are personal and not professional?)
Why Duke?
Tell me about a time when you were on a team and one person wasn't pulling their weight. What did you do?
Tell me about a time when you quit something.
Tell me about a time when you changed someone's mind.
Tell me about a time when you faced conflict in a team.
Tell me about a time when you created a pivotal change in your organization. What specifically did you do?
What did you do to create cultural change?
3 strengths and 3 weaknesses
In Fuqua's defense, every other interaction I had with current students was positive. They are friendly, eager to chat about their experiences, and truly seem to love the school. I just got unlucky with my interview match.
