It was very laid back! They told us about their backgrounds pre-MBA etc., then it started from there
1. Tell me about yourself.
2. Why MBA now? (ST and LT goal)
3. What can you bring to Cornell?
4. What can you gain from Cornell?
They had follow up questions about specific community engagement I mentioned, how that could actually benefit me etc.
5. Tell me about an accomplishment that you are proud of.
6. Tell me about a time that you failed after many attempts of trying.
Then she also asked some questions about why didn’t I go into the field that I studied for my master degree etc.
7. Any question for her?
