CHicago MBA Round 1 / Alumnus / Off-campus (December 1st, 2009)
I was interviewed by an alumn off-campus in his business office. The whole interview lasted for approximately 1 hour, where the last 15 minutes were dedicated for my questions towards him. It was a pretty casual talk. Being international, my interview was conducted in English, which I did not expect.
He took a look at my resume and asked me to briefly walk him through it. He then made the following questions:
Why did you choose to work with my current employer?
What have been my successes so far?
What do I plan to do after my MBA?
Why do I think now is the best time for an MBA?
Why Chicago Booth?
Which other MBA programs did I apply to?
Which is my top choice?
What was my undergraduate experience like?
Which was my favorite undergraduate course, why?
What do my parents do for a living?
Do I plan to join the family's business? Why?
What impression did I get when I visited Chicago Booth's campus?
I felt very confident at the end because I felt I was talking to a friend |
