yes....i am flying to HK for an interview this weekend.  Got interview invite around 2 weeks ago.  But I had to resent my gmat score.... so i guess my interview already came pretty late.  My interviewers is interviewing three applicants this Sunday.  


Hi prelude!


It's a pleasure reading your post regarding your cornell interview! You must perform very well during it!


Since I also got an invitation and will schedule mine in HK (w/ Ms. Julia Xu) as well. Thus, I would like to ask for your kindly help on sharing some valued points about the interview!


I've read some articles talking about Cornell interview in BW forum. Besides the general ones such as "Why MBA? Why Cornell?Leadership experience?", is there anything special or you feel impressive or difficult during your interview? I also heard that there might be some quiz for evaluating your "problem solving skill"..Do you have any idea about it?


Sorry for asking so many questions and do look forward to meeting you in Cornell this Sep!


谢谢您的分享

I interviewed w/ adcom so it may be different. For what it is worth, I didn't get any trick question. It's more like a conversation so you shouldn't stress out. The only thing that caught me off-guard was when she asked me to "name a weakness in my application". Note she didn't ask me about a weakness about myself, which I was prepared to answer. Anyway I was surprised since all my stat are well above Cornell's average and rest of my application stack up as well. So I wasn't sure what exactly she was hinting at (that I didn't score 800 on the GMAT?) Also be ready to answer what other schools you applied and why. You should know that your interviewer has no access to your whole file except the resume. Good luck!

Thank you!!!! And is it possible for you to share your answer for the "application weakness" with us? This question is kind of fresh to me....and really don't know what they expect to hear???

oh, I total stumbled on the "weakness of my application" question. I didn't come from a business background, so I came up w/ something like I don't have enough finance/marketing training or what else. Then my interviewer said many applicants didn't exactly have business background and that's why we want an MBA and she didn't see it as a weakness (which means my answer didn't convince her at all!). But she let it go and went onto something else. My guess is since she didn't see the rest of my application, she didn't know my stats, and it was a routine question for her to ask and wasn't meant to be a trap. But in case you have a weakness (eg. low GPA), this is the time to mention it and also say how you have compensated it (eg. high GMAT)

Besides the usual questions, they can really ask anything about you. So just focus on the typical questions and be ready to come up w/ answers on the spot. Good luck! I hope you get the good news soon.

hi arcare,

I did my interview in Hk and it went quite well.  I interviewed with the other girl from trading.  Julia's from Deutsche's equity research-----> My guess is that DB takes quite a significant amount of johnson grads.  Interview questions were fairly easy....just make sure you go over your resume and the usual why this and why that questions.  Be prepared to talk about other schools that you're applying to.  I think it has something to do with yield rates.  haha.  Best of luck.

Hi prelude!


Thanks for your feedback! I've completed mine last week. Just like what you mentioned, the questions were all general ones...no surprise throughout the interview...and only took 30 mins...


hope everything is fine loh!
