McCombs interview done

I had my McCombs alum interview a couple of days back. The alum lives just a couple of blocks away from my office. So after finishing work, just came down, crossed the street and less than 5 minutes later met the alum at a hotel lobby.

The interview was very very informal and very brief (30 mins). He started off by asking which all schools I applied and the rationale behind my choice. Next was about my goals. He asked specifically why I wanted to be an entrepreneur, when I was so successful in my current company. Next, he asked me why I thought McCombs was the perfect fit. I had a bunch of reasons for this and conveyed it in a conversational manner. He then asked about a teamwork experience that ended successfully. That's it !

He asked me if I had any questions for him and we spent the next 15 minutes talking about his experiences - pre-bschool,in b-school and post-MBA. He then added that it would take 2-3 weeks before I hear from the school.

Overall, I am quite happy with the interview. The interviewer was also very informal and it was fun talking to him.

Wish me luck !!!
