Regular MBA questions talk about who you are while behavioral questions aim at examining your behavior in certain situations, i.e. find out how you would behave in certain situations, such as a conflict at work.
Here is a short list of the most common interview questions:
< Click on each question to receive detailed instruction of how to answer each question >
- Walk me through your resume / Tell me about yourself
- Why MBA? Why now?
- Short Term Goals for MBA & Long Term Goals ?
- What are your strengths and weaknesses?
- How can you contribute to the program ?
- What other schools did you apply to?
- What attracts you to our school?
- Questions to ask in MBA interview!
This is by far not a complete list of questions but these are the questions that you MUST prepare extremely well as I have been asked this set of questions in every single interview I went through.
Apart from these regular questions there is usually a set of behavioral questions that can be considered standard for each interview:
- Can you give me an example of when you took a risk?
- Give an example where you applied leadership?
- Teamwork: What do you do if one of the team members does not carry his burden?
- Give an example when you acted entrepreneurial
- Tell me about a time when you worked in a team
A great starting point for your preparation is to make sure you can answer each of these basic standard interview questions perfectly. By doing so, you are all set for 80% of the questions and ready to leave with a good impression. It is all about transmitting a sound and successful image of yourself.
Here is a valuable video talking about answering each of these questions and I urge you to watch it and take notes. It will give you a great idea of what to say and what to look out for when preparing for other questions.
I will write a review about this video soon with takeaways and comments from my own experience. Here is the video, enjoy!
