Condensed version

The toughest question that I wasn't prepared for was what are your strenghts and weaknesses and how will those affect you in a small group atmosphere? Another was what motivates you to get up each morning and do well in ........?

1)Why did you choose to work for the company or companies you worked for?
5) A variation of a teamwork question
6) Why are you unique?

- discuss your quantitative experience and skills, and why you believe you will be able to handle quant classes at Stern
- if you get into all your target schools, how will you decide which to go to.
- Tell me more specifically about your career goals.
- how would you contribute to the stern community.


The three things I believe they like to hear more are:

- you are a leader
- you are a team worker

why you want an MBA at NYU

If your desired career after graduating has absolutely NOTHING to do with what you've done for a living, they'll ask.

One thing that they did focus on was how I went about getting my past and current jobs and how I would go about getting summer internships and future jobs. that I had found all my previous jobs through networking and thaty I would use my exisiting and future Stern networks to find work on my own, while at the same time making use of traditional on-campus recruiting channels blah blah.

- Give me a sense of what led you to make your career choices to date?
- You've known xx for a long time.  What do you think she wrote about you in your recommendation?
- What qualities did you like about the Stern MBA program that led to your decision to apply?
- If you were a member of a band, what would you be (i.e. drummer, guitarist, singer)?

What's your backup plan if you don't get into management consulting once you've graduated from an MBA program?

How do others perceive you...
What roles have you played in the past...
What will you do outside of class if you attend Stern...

1) Why did I chose the college I attended and what were my fondest memories of my experiences there?
5) Name a leader I admire and explain why?  (that was a bit of a curveball)
6) Is there anything else you would like the adcomm to know that you haven't covered yet?
4) Hypothetical:  It's your first day of class at Stern, and you're introduced to your new "team" members which you'll be doing projects with over the next year.  You're given a problem to solve.  What is your role in your new team?
5) What would your boss say is your biggest weakness?
6) What would your colleagues say are your strengths?


- how did you decide on your major, on your first job out of college?
- did you enjoy your first job and why?
- what made you change jobs, what were you looking for?
- have you ever had a project that you have had to fight for or champion to your managers and how did it turn out?
- what do you hope to get out of business school?
- elaborate on your long term goals.
- what are your medium-term goals and how will they help you accomplish the LT ones?
- if you are unable to pursue <<medium term goal>>, then what other things would you consider or how would you plan your career?
- given your background, how will you market yourself to recruiters in X competitive industry to find either a summer or full-time job?

what were you looking for when you decided which MBA programs to apply to?

Well, your GMAT is quite impressive.  But, how do you explain the discrepancy between that score and your low GPA?
