Just had an interview with an alumnus during lunch today. He picked the place and the time. It lasted about 1 hour and 15 minutes!!! In hindsight, I can not believe that I answered so many questions! School gave me three alumni to contact, only names, emails, and year of graduation showed on the list. I tried the oldest alumnus first, but that phone number did not work. Another phone number seemed to be in a different region, I don't know whether that person is physically in town, so I did not try that one. Then there is only one choice left. Fortunately my interviewer is a very nice person. I really enjoyed the conversation with him. List of questions that I was asked: - Why Columbia (this is the first question he asked when we picked a table and sat down)
- Have you visited the campus
- What other schools are you applying (this question has a high frequency of showing up in interviews, be prepared)
- What will you contribution to school
- How did you come here (casual)
- teamwork example
- leadership style
- what you boss would say as your strengths (2-3) and weakness (2-3)
- To whom do you report
- do you manage people
- what activities are you involved in here
- who is your mentor, your role model
- If someone knew you well, and they want to introduce you to a group of people in 2 or 3 sentences, what would he/she say? i.e. your most prominent background to distinguish you from other MBA students.
He interrupted me a few times when he was interested in a certain words or phases I just said – what does xxx mean, why, etc. These are what I can remember. Plus the questions I asked him, and the chatting, it was a long time but I did not feel it at all. All in all, it is not bad. Hope I can receive the decision from school very soon. Good luck to everyone!
