Austin

    

Introduction
            

    

My R2 choice too. Their process of applications is extremely
quick. An invitation was extended a couple of days after the application was
completed. I guess they did not receive many applications this year. I decided
to attend the class in the morning and do the interview after that.
            

    

A second year male student interviewed me. He seemed to be a
senior guy before MBA and his soft skills are good. He replied to my thank-you
note.

    

 Questions:
            

    

1. Walk
        me through your resume.
2. Why…?
        Goals…? Why…? Why…?
3. What
        are your strengths? What you can contribute to McCombs community? What
        will you get from your MBA study?
4. A
        teamwork experience.

    

 Lessons

    

 Class visit before the interview may loose me up a little
and get a feeling of the community, which is an advantage. However, I tended to
loose my focus after a long day.
            

    

Later, I found at Chicago Booth that some students do the
campus visit in day 1 and interview in day 2. I think it is a great idea but I
time/cost are higher.
