Hi!

Just finished interview with Alicia this morning.

Very standard questions, such as:

1. what do you want to do after MBA?
2. why MBA?
3. One question that I did not prepare is "why do you swtich your career?" I told her it is not a totally different direction, and blah blah... I definitely asked her more questions than she asked me.

The interview is not tough at all. Relax and good luck with everyone!!

Thank you Liulei for sharing.  I searched several threads and found many not-so-typical questions such as "If you had 100,000, what will you do?"  I was pretty nervous when I saw those questions.  Good to hear that you had very standard questions.

According to BusinessWeek, in 2006, 54 percentage of all applicants (admitted and denied) to the class of newest full-time entrants who were interviewed.

    

95 percent of the admitted applicants to the newest full-time class who were interviewed

hi Sunxiaowei,

If I understand your message correctly, "54% of all applicants were interviewed for last year"; and also i learned from Marshall's website that their admission rate for last year is about 36%, which means everyone of us who received the invitation for interview has a(36%/54%=)66.7% chance of getting admitted eventually. Not Bad at all!!

Also, you said "95 percent of the admitted applicants to the newest full-time class who were interviewed", means that you might still get in without an invitatioin for interview. So do not loose heart if you have not received an invitation yet!!

Hi Liulei
you're right.

Just get back from the interview with Kellee Scott

She is such a nice interviewer. The chemistry is so good. Standard questions, friendly, interactive......and a lot of questions about activities

1. She asked me if I have a chance to be on the cover of a magazine, which one will i pick? Why?
2. Three words to describe urself....
3. She even told me in the end that if I get stress from other school to make a decision before the end of March(they will offer admission for R2 applicatants),I should contact with her.

Don't worry about interview with her. Just be urself and more  personal stories.

I think she likes it.

ecw127

I am back too.

Joshlo0101, we had pretty similar questions, and "contact her if I got other offers" is also what she used to end my interview. 

God bless us!
