Duke Interview Experience..

Today, I attended duke interview by one of the almni in Bangalore. He graduated from duke in 1995. We fixed the appointment at 1:00 PM and I reached the venue early to take care of any traffic jams on the infamous Hosur Road. Reached the venue by 12:00 PM.

He is the MD of a concern. I waited for 15 minutes and he called me in.

And..He is in plain formals and not in Suit and asked me to loosen my tie and remove my coat if I would like to..I have sent my resume yesterday and so he has got a fair Idea of my candidature..

Here are the bullets he fired:

1. About my family background?
2. About experience?
3. Why MBA?
4. Why Fuqua?
5. Dont u feel u r on the younger side? (I have only 3.5 years ex till now)
6. What do u do in free time?
7. What is the importance of order for these? 1. career 2. family 3. community 4. friends 5. hobbies.
8. What is your leadership style?
9. Working in Team? Lot more on team dynamics.
10. Any questions?

We shared his experiences at Fuqua and it is really exciting to know that he was the president of international students association.

All in all he told that I have good candidature but dont get disappointed and I can wait if I was differed admission by 1 year. I dont know whether he is suggesting that i am at a disadvantage in less experience. But he told that its the AdCom that takes final decision and his job is to say good things about me to AdCom.

Have to see how it goes..Waiting for March..
