CMU MBA Round 1 / Phone / Adcom (February 11th, 2010)
it was a very informal discussion of my application. the interviewer put me at complete ease with some general conversation about the weather and other small talk. and then we began discussing my application.
it was mostly a reiteration of my application essays. the questions ( and i think in this order):
walk me thru your resume/career --- which then naturally lead to why MBA --- which then led to my post mba short term goals --- which then led to why Tepper --- and i think there was some mention of what I will bring to Tepper;
and then there were questions specific to my resume; such as examples of leadership experience, what is my learning from those experiences, what are the essential qualities to being a good a leader; all this lasted for abt 30-35 mins.
and then I asked a few questions about the Tepper program, which were very patiently explained. (about 10 minutes)...overall a great discussion !!
result--got an admit. |
