Welcome to another edition of Wiki Wednesdays, our weekly post about the Clear Admit Wiki, an online repository for MBA applicants to share their experiences with the admissions process. Over the past week, we’ve received a number of interview reports for Northwestern / Kellogg and Dartmouth / Tuck. Let’s take a closer look at the questions these candidates faced…
An Early Action applicant to Tuck interviewed with a second-year student and addressed the following queries:
- Why MBA? Why now? Why Tuck?
- Talk about a time you worked in a team.
- Talk about a time you disagreed with your boss/supervisor and how it was resolved.
- Imagine you are selling yourself to the adcom. What are the three things about yourself you would want them to know?
On Kellogg’s campus, an accepted Round 1 applicant recalled the following questions from his adcom interviewer:
- So your job involves a lot of leadership. Tell me about some of your other leadership experiences.
- What is the accomplishment you are most proud of in your career?
- Your community involvement involves working with a lot of different organizations. Tell me about one specific project you’ve worked on.
- Tell me about your time at your undergraduate university.
- How would you contribute to Kellogg?
