Piyapun,

Hi piyapun,

How was the interview? What type of questions did you get asked?

Hi there,

At the first time, I intended to participate in interview session in Bangkok, but because of some mistakes, I scheduled too late and the space was not available. Fortunately, the ad office set a phone interview schedule for me. I talked with a second year student who attends health sector management as I will do. The session was friendly and informative. It was not too formal, but was the conversation. (this is typical style of duke interview, I quess from many resources) We could share our interests during the talk.
-The first question is about your background-for me, I am a doctor and a shareholder of the clinic so I was asked about why I decided to be a major shareholder of the clinic.
-Follow by why now I need an MBA
-Follow by what is my strengths and weaknesses
-and big failure and achievement
-the last is about the activities I do for fun and let me ask questions.
Finish, it took about 30 minutes. I think that these are very basic questions that we should have rough answers in mind.( I forgot to prepare for failure and achievement T-T)
I hope this help.
Good luck. Be yourself and relax.

Has anyone visited the school? If so, what did you think?

Hello everyone! I applied to Fuqua in Round 3 and will travel to Durham to interview. Has anyone been to the campus already?
