Cornell MBA Interview experience 1:
Hi,
I am Mohit. My Cornell interview experience was quite good, and it was held on Skype. Interviewer was one of the admission committee members and my interview went on for almost about 30 minutes. Here I am sharing few Cornell interview questions which I remember most.
- Tell me about yourself.
- Why Cornell? Why MBA?
- Tell me about your current role?
- Tell us more about your short term and long term goals?
- Which other B-schools you applied apart from Cornell and why?
- Tell us more about your leadership experiences
- Any question for me?
Finally I got waitlisted from Cornell and my suggestion to all applicants is that, please go through the Cornell Johnson website and prepare well for the interview, be calm and don’t show your nervousness during interview.
