Interview had the standard fit of questions about my background – education, work experience, any extra-curriculars. The adcom member was very kind and drove the conversation in a professional yet light manner. Questions like: why MBA? why CBS? why now? etc. were asked. Be ready for those types of questions. They also asked about other MBA apps outstanding, probably because I was a Round 2 Further Evaluation candidate being assessed with the rest of Round 3.
