I finished the interview on Oct 5th. A pretty nice chat with one alumni in Shanghai who is a Singaporean working on equity analysis. Most of the questions are regular. I post below a list of questions he asked me. Hope it may help.
1. introduce yourself
2. career plan
3. why MBA & why Columbia
4. something you know about Columbia
5. any example which can illustrate your innovation (because I claim that I’m a innovative person)
6. difference between sales and marketing (which are two areas I’ve worked on)
7. some substantial difference between the two companies I served before? And which style you identify with more?
8. What was the reason for your to leave your previous company?
9. Your leadership style
10. ethical dilemma
11. What you do in free time
12. Any crazy/adventurous thing you did
13. Your definition of success? Are you more result-oriented or process-focus?
14. Your understanding on Value Investing (which I show strong interests in)
Since the interviewer had to go for a business trip after interview, he submitted the report last weekend. Today I checked my email and got the notification saying that the decision was given. Logged on the application system and got the letter from the admissions committee, saying that "Congratulation..."
What A Wonderful Day!
