[轉載] Stanford MBA面經 from BusinessWeek

[upl]

Interview: Off-Campus
Interviewer: Local Alumnus

Stanford's interviews are by invitation only, and if selected to interview, applicants will be contacted by the Admissions Committee with the name of their interviewer and his/her contact info. I interviewed with a local alumnus that worked close to my office.

The interview was approximately 45 minutes long, and was extremely informal in nature. During the course of your discussion, you will probably get a chance to ask a lot of questions about Stanford, so make sure that you are prepared to approach this opportunity with well-researched and thoughtful questions. I found the Stanford interview to be a pleasurable and educational experience.

The interview questions themselves were pretty basic - definitely make sure you know your resume well. If possible, you want to use the interview as a venue to provide additional information to the interviewer (and the Admissions Committee) that you didn't highlight in your application. However, it is worth noting that interviewers will not have seen your application materials before the interview.

Questions included:

Tell me about your undergraduate experience.
Why did you choose [major]?
What sorts of activities did you participate in outside of class?
Is there anything you would have changed about your college experience?
Why do you want to attend Stanford?
Why did you decide to pursue an MBA this year?
Tell me about your most recent leadership experience.
What do you like to do in your time outside of work?
What accomplishment are you most proud of?
