"She asked me to tell her about myself and I just explained my background, early life, undergrad, grad school, and work experience. She stopped me a couple of times for clarification but then just let me roll for the most part. I'd say the "TMAY" was around 15 min. I then went into Why an MBA, Why Now, and Why Darden. That was another 15 min. She asked no follow-up questions and asked me if I had any questions. I asked about 3 insightful questions which was another 15 min. All in all, interview went about 45 min. It was a great experience - very conversational and she gave me great feedback. Crossing my fingers and hoping for the best!"

"The interview started about 20 minutes late and ended within 20 minutes. It was conversational, but the interviewer did not speak much. She did take copious notes as I was talking, and there was a curve ball. Following questions were asked: 1. Why MBA? Why now? Why KF? As a single question 2. Want to talk about your work experience as an individual, as a team member, and as a leader: a) how would your colleagues/ team mates describe you? b) talk about the time you led a team and what you learned from it? 3. Talk about one thing on your resume that you consider your proudest achievement 4. She gave me KF's values and asked me "These are KF's values. What do these mean to you, and what do you expect from a B-school around these values?" This was the curve ball for me, especially the second part 5. Anything else you want to speak to about your profile that hasn't been covered through your application or interview? 6. Any questions for me? I asked her a question about scholarships and finances, and received a generic answer "You will know more once a decision has been reached" (which makes me think this was an external reviewer / consultant)"

"Got an email from admissions saying, could we connect for a few minutes to discuss the post-MBA goals. I had that call last Wednesday, it was a short one primarily to discuss the post-MBA goals. It was with the Senior Director of Career Development and he told me that he likes to talk to candidates himself."

"I just completed by Mendoza interview. Went for about 40 mins and was a very casual conversation. Usual questions of Why MBA now? Why ND? What would you bring to ND? Value of Diversity, Equality and inclusion which is Notre Dame’s values? How do you explain this? Post the interview, i received an email from the interviewer like an acknowledgment."

"40min call with adcom 1. Walk me through your resume 2. What is the best thing and the worst thing that is possible if you don’t change? 3. An instance when you set a personal goal for yourself and you achieved it? 4. An instance when you set a goal personal and you didn’t achieve it? What did you do? Learn? 5. Why Rotman? 6.

And have you heard from them? 10. If I was given 100,000$ for my business what would I do?"

"I had an interview with Danielle. Interview section itself was around 15 minutes but the entire talk lasted around 20 minutes. I had to wait an extra 15 minutes since her calendar seems to be malfunctioning. I was silently on my phone before I heard her voice addressing me. Danielle makes you feel at ease very quickly and is highly professional. There are no tricks as she asked some standard behavioral questions. The Adcom primarily wants to know what your plan and thought process is behind an MBA. 1.Tell me about yourself/Walk me through your resume 2.Why MBA?/Why Rotman? (Why Toronto?) 3.What are your long-term and short-term goals? 5.What is your back-up plan in case you don't get into your desired industry? 5.What is your biggest professional achievement? 6.What is your biggest strength?/What drives you?/What are your core values? 7.If you could speak to the Dean, what 3 questions would you ask? 8.Do you have any questions for me? The talk was a bit more free-flowing. Try to pair everything up with a professional example and be honest. Do your research on the school; what are the strengths and how it matches with your goal. If you're at this stage, they already like you so don't worry so much. Good Luck!"

"Interviewed with Joy, 25 minutes 1. tell me about your professional background 2. Why Smeal? 3. Target companies after graduation? 4. What schools did you apply? 5. Do you have any questions for me?"

"It’s really smooth! Tom Keller is kind and he already read my resume. He asked me to describe more about my current job Ask some questions about my resume. Why Katz? What is something that I am passionate about outside of my work? No behavior questions. The interview lasted 20 min. My interview was on March 20 and I got accepted on March 27."

"Given the subjective nature of interviews I have no clue how it went. 😅 It quite conversational and smooth I felt. With an alum. Other than behavioral questions I was asked about DEI and professional risk. For DEI i talked about an experience that’s quite technical and how that work is necessary for fairness and equity, which seemed to interest my interviewer."

"Was interviewed by the Associate Director of Admissions. Interview lasted about 30 mins: 1. Tell me about yourself - I included why MBA and 2 fun facts about myself here. I talked about how I moved around a lot so she dived into that in depth 2. Why did you move a lot? 3. Where did you have the most memorable time - out of the countries you moved to so far? 4. Do you use your computer science degree at work? How? 4. Was there a time where you had to work in a team, how did that go? What was the outcome? 5.

After my responses, she shared her opinion about that as well (e.g., I strongly agree with that, I have personal experience on this as well).

"Interviewed with an adcom member who seemed kinda bored and unimpressed throughout. Someone had already told me that some of the Kellogg interviewers are poker-faced serious note-takers so I tried to not let that affect my confidence. She often asked me to repeat myself which made me a little worried cause I thought either she's not paying attention to what I am saying or I am not speaking with clarity. It could also either just be that she wanted to get the details correct for her notes. 1. Walk me through your resume 2. How many people do you manage in your current role? 3. What do you love about your current role? 4. Example about working in a diverse team. 5. Biggest career achievement. 6. ST and LT goals - what would you do right after MBA. 7. Why Kellogg 8. Anything else? 9. Any questions for me?"

Tell me about a time you worked in a team or led a team to solve a problem 4. Follow up questions again 5. Any other thing I should know. I used this opportunity to speak about what I’ve done in terms of impact and collaboration. Also elaborated on why Darden is the best fit for me and emphasized that I had engaged a few current students 6. Any questions for me. I had googled her name since I received it the day before and Google took me directly to her page. My long term career goal is kind of in line with what the Adcom does for Darden, so my question was in line with that. So sort of trying to hear from an experienced opinion on what I intend to do. Lastly, she mentioned that decision will be provided in line with the timeline on the website which is March 31st for March 1 deadline."

"Before I talk about what I learned from my interview, I’d like to say that it’s important to keep the tone of the interview conversational. This is something I learned from many failed interviews. Be ready with stories from your work life. Took off with 1) Tell me about yourself? 2) Why MBA? Why MBA in Canada? 3) Why Ivey? 4) Tell me about a project where you helped your team to success. What did you learn from doing it? Is there anything you wish you could have changed? 5) Can you tell me about another project in which you led a team to success in a cross-collaboration setting? 6) Tell me about a time when you made a team fail. 7) Since you want to be a consultant, tell me about a recent event in Canada that would make a good case study. 8) Tell me about your start-up project experience? Did you learn anything important? 9) What will you do for Ivey both in and out of the classroom? 10) What steps will you take to make sure you do well in the program? Then, in a 60-minute interview, he gave me close to 20 minutes to ask him questions. I had a list of about five questions that I asked. You should be ready with five or six questions to ask the interviewer. Try to have at least two layers of answers - for counter question-and two examples for each of the above questions."
