All straightforward questions:
- Why now?
- Why MBA?
- Short Term and Long term goals?
- Why duke?
- Good qualities of a team member
- Good qualities of a leader
- Three strengths
- Three weaknesses
- One leadership failure example
- 2 initiative examples - 1 from work n other one from outside work
- A case study - This was a bit tricky - As a consultant for a new airline, I had to come up with a figure highlighting number of aeroplanes needed to start the business (Jet Airways was to be taken as benchmark). Interviewer was mainly interested in my approach and logic and not figures...
- Any questions for him?
Overall it was a good experience. I hope this interview helps me to get my Wait List converted to an admit to Duke.
But as 30th April (deadline to deposit Simon/Owen's deposit fees..some 1500 $$$) approaching, not many days left. For me, this date would actually boil down to 25th April as after that I would be all busy for my D-day (29th April). So I would like to finish off my deposit and all before that. I hope I hear some good news from Tepper/Duke/UCLA before that.
Between Simon and Owen, my heart says Simon and my head says Owen. For last few days. I have been discussing this with lots of alumnus and students from both the schools. But I am still not very sure which way to go......
