Oxford Saïd MBA Admissions Interview Questions 2012
If you are preparing for an MBA admissions interview, be sure to check out the Clear Admit Wiki! It’s chock full of firsthand accounts of interviews, as reported by MBA applicants themselves. Here’s a closer look at a recent report shared by a Round 2 candidate for Oxford / Saïd:
“I had an interview off-campus with an Admissions Officer of the program. The interviewer was friendly and easy to talk to. She assured me that she wanted this to be a casual, laid-back conversation and that I should not feel nervous.
There were no surprises with this interview. It was standard and felt similar to other business school admissions interviews. I left with a good impression of Said.
- Tell me about your current job?
- Why MBA?
- Why Oxford?
- Tell me about a time when you were managing someone who was not performing well. What did you do? And if this has not happened to you tell me what you think you would do in this situation?
- What is your leadership style?
- What are your strengths?
- What are your weaknesses?
- What three words would you use to describe yourself?
- If you only had 1 minute to convey to the admissions committee why they should admit you, what would you say?
We had about 5 – 10 minutes for questions at the end.”
