My interview went very well I thought, but I dare not get my hopes up. I was interviewed by an alumni involved with the admissions committee rather than a second-year student. I was able to connect to my interviewer on three points: she knew about a Booth friend personally and the class he recommended that I sat in, the volunteer organization since her employer and the organization recently formed a partnership, and the Booth conference that I attended for work.

The only problem is that she seemed to be very good in poker or acting, leaving me in awe of her awesome poker face. Nevertheless, I'm doing my good luck dance and keeping my fingers crossed!

Best of luck! What kinds of questions did she ask you?

The typical:
Why MBA?
Why now?
Why Booth?
Walk me through your resume.

My questions were standard.

Walk me through your resume
Why MBA
Why Booth
What will you contribute towards Booth

Mine came out to be exactly 28 minutes with 2 minutes for questions to ask:
What do you like and dislike about Booth?
How did you manage the courses given a very flexible curriculum?

Hope this helps!
