With 2009 nearly upon us, welcome to the final 2008 edition of Wiki Wednesdays, where we share fresh interview reports published in the Clear Admit Wiki, a repository of MBA applicants’ experiences and observations! As most schools have distributed decisions to Round 1 candidates, we’re taking a break from the race to Round 2 deadlines to peruse a few interview reports from Dartmouth / Tuck and Duke / Fuqua.
A recent Tuck candidate recounted the following interview experience with an adcom member:
- Walk [me] through [your] resume, starting from undergrad. What [were you] involved in outside of class in undergrad?
- Why MBA? (Which led to discussion of goals after school.)
- Why Tuck? (It seems they ask everyone this)
- Tell about a time / how [you] work in teams.
- Tell about a time / how [you] lead.
- How will [you] get involved in Tuck, outside of class? (what groups and activities?)
Blogger MissionMBA shared the following questions from his Fuqua interview in the Clear Admit Wiki:
- Tell me something about yourself, starting with your education.
- Tell me about a team-effort that did not work out well.
- Tell me about a time when you had to convey a difficult message to somebody.
- How would you enrich the cultutre at Fuqua?
- If given a chance, what would you like to change in your life?
That wraps up Wiki Wednesdays for 2008! We’d like to thank everyone who has contributed to the Clear Admit Wiki this year and we look forward to receiving plenty of reports in 2009!
