"Hi folks, I had my interview with Diana Fleming last night. She was really nice and the whole interview felt very conversational. She'd occasionally interrupt, in a good way, to add her comments or ask questions as you go through your resume/background. Some major takeaways: - She intently followed the 30-minute time limit; the last 5 minutes left for questions - The standard questions I got: Tell me about yourself/walk me through your resume, why MBA now, why Goizueta.) - At least half of my questions/time was spent on follow-up questions based on my background, which I think happens very often in Goizueta's interviews. So I'd suggest future interviewees be prepared for that. (Questions like, tell me a little more about this particular experience, what you've learned in this experience, etc.) I got caught off guard a bit when she asked me those "unexpected" follow-up questions, but I think I did ok overall. Hope for the best!"

"Interviewed w Emma Tillman. She’s super chill and the interview was conversational. Time - 40 mins 1. Take 3 mins and tell me about your background 2. Why mba/STLT goals 3. Why Goizueta ? 4. How many direct reports do you have ? How do u manage them? 5. TMAT you worked in a team (not as a leader) 6. On a free weekend what will you do? Extended convo on some books I mentioned. 7. What does your Typical workday look like 8. Talk about 1 Extra curricular work 9. Questions for adcom"

"Start of Interview: - They stated at the start all they have is my resume and nothing else. - Told me it will be straight forward with no tricks. - They'll be pausing to take notes. - Decision will be released on decision date. Questions asked in order (From what I remeber) 1. Walk me through your resume, current roles and responsibilities (Most recent 1-2 jobs). I jumped around a bit and touched upon 4-5 since they had some overlapping skills I wanted to talk/bring up. 2. Why an MBA - Talked about why a one-year MBA was my choice and what I'll get out of the MBA 3. Short and Long term career goals - I discussed both as well as highlighting my target industries 4. What is a strength you bring to your team/classmates 5. What is a weakness of yours that you will bring to your team/classmates 6. Tell me about your undergrade or education? 7. What clubs are you interested in or would like to join? 8. What are your hobbies outside of work? 9. Do you have any questions for me/Ad-Com?"

"­I interviewed with Diana a few weeks ago. The interview was very conversational and fairly straightforward. She started off by talking about her background, her role at Emory, and then we jumped right into the "Tell me about yourself" questions. I spoke about my background and why I want an MBA now, why Goizueta, short/long-term goals, and then she asked me some curveball questions about my experience. I think I had a really great response to them even though I hadn't prepared for them, but the curveball questions were: 1) Can you name a company you really admire how they operate 2) If you were brought on as a strategy consultant for the military (prior military and consulting background), what would be the first thing you'd change? After that I had about 5 minutes to ask her some questions. Hope that helps and best of luck!­"

"I interviewed with Kate yesterday and I would say it was the hardest of all. Be very well versed in your CV she asked be details about 2 specific lines about one of my roles. She asks short questions. My usual question range in other interviews was around 7-8 but yesterday I am sure she asked more than 15 small questions. even questions like why mba and why goizeutta were asked in a short way and I was supposed to answer in a 1 min or so . She seems nice but is firm she will cut you off if you speak too long. Definitely an old school type of interview. I enjoyed it."

"I was just interviewed with Kate. She was generally nice and encouraged me to talk about my experience. The interview was precisely 30 minutes, was in-depth, but not pushy. I generally enjoyed it. The questions are: 1/ Why & how I moved in ever job 2/ LT-ST goals 3/ Why Emory 4/ How these people would describe you: Your direct reports? Your managers? Your family? 5/ Your leadership style 6/ What was the thing you most regretted about your career Good luck to all of you with the interviews! Now I’m moving to the next phase of constant worries & panicks"

"Interview was quite conversational, with general question. Mine focussed more on the ’Why’ around things rather than talking through experiences. 1. Walk me through why how you received various roles in your resume, and why you chose those roles 2. Time you had to face a challenge, and why it was difficult for you 3. Why did you pick your extra curriculars, what did you learn from them 4. 3 biggest strengths and why you are proud of them 5. What do you bring to the class 6. What is your proudest accomplishments/why 7. Anything you want to add But I was asked to keep answers extremely short, and the interviewer had multiple follow up questions for each based on my answers - pretty basic stuff to understand more about your motivation/learning/experience and how you can use that in the future My Interviewer was Kate Piasecki if that helps"

"Interview flow of patterns 1. They asked about my passion of tennis to begin with - Took this from my essay answers - So commenced with something to begin with.

Did you always know you wanted to pursue the world of business ? Whats the source of trigger on this 4. Why MBA ? - While answering this , i also indicated why i wanted to study at UNC 5. Explain what makes you a good leader - How would you deliver negative feedback to your team ? 6. Walk me through your professional career till date In the middle candidly spoke about my career aspirations (ST and LT) - So the question of whats my ST and LT was covered automatically. These were the questions - Very engaging interview"

Describe a leadership experience where you faced difficulties? Challenging project/situation and how you deal with it? What did you learn? Your experiences with disparity of opinions in cultural diversity? What will you bring to the Marshall community? Any questions you wish to ask?"

"Mine went really quick and more like a chitchat with adcom. Please note that It is a blind interview, which means the interviewer will have no information about you prior the interview. Here are the questions that I got 1. Your introduction 2. Why MBA? 3. Why Marshall? 4. Strengths and weaknesses 5. Story about accomplishment 6. Question to ask back the interviewer They took around 3-4 weeks to return the result. Hope it helps, Good luck with your interview"
