Yale on-campus interview experiences Interview is blind. In MBA Tour last year, YALE admission officer there also said that the interview questions would be very straight forward. Thank testtech, cheeyong, yangrongxos, and everyone else for providing help. Questions I was asked: 1.Go through your resume, about your work, why you go to xxx school, why you study xxxx.... 2.Why you come to business school? Career goal? (not exactly the same words) 3.Why now? 4.Why yale? 5.What are the challenges in your job? 6.What would you boss describe you? 7.Tell me about your interests (I listed several of my interests on my resume) 8.What did you do during xxx, did you do anything interesting (There is a half year gap on my resume, that is why he asked)? These are all I can remember. Hope it helps. For those who travel to New Haven to conduct the interview or to visit campus without a rental car, I recommend Marriot Courtyard hotel. I payed ~$85 after tax for staying overa nite. Very nice room, right next to campus, about 10 minutes walking distance to SOM. You can find its phone number on SOM web site, check the rate and make a reservation. Do not forget to mention YALE SOM discount. This is the cheapest I can find among all other hotels on SOM list. Certainly if you have a rent car and plan to park on campus during the visit, you will have more options to live in a more economical hotel in town within a reasonable distance. For those who plan to fly to New Haven direct, leave plenty of room for flight schedule changes. There are only US Airway jets commute to New Haven, and I can not say any good words about their services. About half an hour. Within this half hour, he/she will leave ~5 minutes to let you ask questions. The interviewer was a 2nd-year student, very nice. A little tense at the begining though, but we both relaxed a little bit as the conversation went. I went to the visit center almost an hour early. While I was waiting in the office, I saw he already interviewed at least two other applicants. One 2-year stduent interviewer was late for some reasons, and then the admission director interviewed the applicant. I think majority of the applicants wwill be interviewed by 2nd year students. |
