“I just completed my interview for Rice Jones. The interviewer was a second-year student and the whole interview was really conversational. I would advice not to be too much prepared for the interview that you seem to be rehearsed (he pointed it out to me during the interview :D).
Overall the questions were pretty general:
- Introduce yourself.
- Why MBA?
- Tell me about your most cherished leadership moment.
- You enjoy leading a team the most or working as a team member in a team?
- Why Rice?
- Why have you applied in Round 3?
- Any questions for me?
Interview ended in exactly 20 minutes.”

“Just finished my Zoom (virtual) interview. It lasted about 40 minutes, was with a 2nd year student.
The interview was very relaxed and in some way informal. It was mainly about getting to know me, my career and leadership experiences. I got asked the typical “why an MBA now? and why Rice?”
I enjoyed it, the interviewer was very friendly.”

Skype Interviewed on: Jan 08 2019 Final Decision: Waitlisted with Interview
“It is a blind interview i.e. the interviewer will only have your resume for reference. He/she will not be aware of the other aspects of your application such as GMAT score or essays. The interview is very conversational and revolves around getting to know the applicant better. The interview is conducted by second-year students and the questions are very generic. The interviewer will conduct the interview in a very warm and friendly environment. Nothing to worry and go ahead and enjoy the experience.”
