"Hi I had my interview in early October, with Erin Vuono through skype, it lasted for 20 mins, below are the questions asked. 1. Why MBA? 2. Your short term goals post MBA? 3. Why Katz? 4. What are the skillset required for consultant?(As my post MBA function is Consulting) 5. Leadership experience question? 6. How would you solve conflict between teams? Please note: Interview started off well but as you all know, this year interviews are through remote,she had a bad audio connection at her end and was literally not seeing the screen or focusing on what I was saying, her focus was trying to sort the audio issues as well as hardly made any notes during the interview. She has some disturbances at her side from kids or pet i guess not sure but she seemed disturbed in between the interview. I was asked about my GRE score and told that I was low for companies like BCG,Bains or McKinsey as stressed over it a lot but also stated that scores are above par for admission. I had spoken to 4 MBA candidates before the interview for more information regarding the program and post interview did mail them all to ask consulting companies do ask for standardize score for Internship or Full time employment. They said only the Top 3 MBB ask such but none of the companies which come to Katz ask any standardize score.So I felt there was some contradiction about what was being asked in the interview. I felt the interview experience should have been better in terms of technical issues and response. All the best all of you."

"I had a skype interview with Erin Vuono. A zoom meeting link was mailed to me 5 minutes before the scheduled interview time. The interview lasted for around 20 minutes. She asked me around 7-10 questions. Most of them were general MBA interview questions. Some of the questions were: 1. Walk me through your resume after you graduated from college. 2. Do you like your current job? She also asked me to explain to her what exactly do I work on. 3. Why MBA? 4. Why Katz? 5. My short term goal? 6. What are my target companies post MBA? 7. What skills do I need to acquire to get my dream job? 8. What kind of a leader do I think I am? 9. In the end, she asked me to explain the grading scale of my undergrad college as she had some doubts about it. In the end, there for time to discuss any questions for her."

"Hello Everyone, Had my interview on 24th with the AdComs. They had interviews lined back to back so took a short interview. The panel included 1 AdCom member and 1 from Career Management Services, both of them extremely humble and great in nature. The questions asked were pretty behavioral such as walk me through your resume, strengths and weakness, a global leader you admire and why, why MBA, why Katz, how do you plan to add value to class, your skills, etc. The interview went well. Hoping to receive a positive revert."
