标题: 36 Interview Questions for MBA Admissions

Attached is the questionnaire I aggregated last year to prepare for the interviews with Berkeley Haas, MIT Sloan, NYU Stern and Stanford GSB.  The listed 36 questions have covered most of the content which is gonna be asked during admission interviews.  Hope these help.


I'm glad to discuss any questions regarding the listed interview questionnaire during the Q&A session of Saturday morning's online chat.

不过请大家注意了,现在adcom们也开始狡猾狡猾的了,我最近经历的两次面试都没有什么why MBA啊之类的常规问题,而是很随意的找话题然后开始聊。感觉要准备很多例子是最重要的,可以排列组合的使用。
