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.
