My interview was pretty casual with the Admissions Officer; however, out of all the other interviews I had, the questions were the most “interview-y” (if that makes sense). Since I had interviewed with four other schools before this one, I had my story on pretty straight, but found the Admissions Blog for Texas very useful because they mentioned that one needed to demonstrate and “in-depth understanding” of the program. I had questions prepared about unique aspects that I only noticed at McCombs, and could tell that my interviewer appreciated my research. Specific questions I was asked:
1. What are you currently reading?
2. Who is a leader you admire most and why?
3. Tell me about a significant leadership experience and what you learned from it?
4. How would your teammates describe you?
5. What are your short- and long-term goals?
6. Why MBA?
7. Why now?
Thanks!
