UNC Round 3 / Adcom / On-campus (February 16th, 2009)
I interviewed on campus on January 27, 2009.
The interview was conducted with, Donna, a member of the Admissions Committee in their offices. We spoke for a little longer than the stated 30 minutes, and it was very conversational. Some questions included:
Walk me through your resume.
Your GPA seems low. Are there any extenuating circumstances or explanations for that?
Why are you interested in getting your MBA?
She seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me as a person and finding common ground, and often something I would say would spark her interest and we would discuss some aspect of my background or the opportunities at Kenan Flagler. The rest of our time was spent discussing issues that we were both passionate about and discussing the trajectory of change and opportunities at Kenan Flagler.
Following the interview, I was met with students in the Admissions Office waiting area, and given a tour, lunch, and hosted class visit. Everything was taken care of and went smoothly. I got to speak one-on-one with about 6 students and learn about their experiences at Kenan Flagler. A resounding theme is leadership development, and overwhelming opportunities to learn at all times of the day, every day. |
