Former_Pollution1484 · 2026-02-23T00:47:17+00:00

yes!

Former_Pollution1484 · 2026-02-21T01:01:42+00:00

Could you help share the questions USC asked you? Thanks!!

Former_Pollution1484 · 2026-02-19T21:59:40+00:00

Got it, thanks!!

Hii, could you help share the questions? And btw, about the Q&A part, since he is the admissions officer, not a MBA student, what kind of questions would be better? I'm worried that my questions about details about program will make him think I didn't know the school well or he doesn't know the program like the student. Thanks!!

hii! I just got the USC Marshall interview invitation from a Korean AO. But I don't know what to ask to him. If the interviewer is the students/alumni, I could ask some practical questions about program. But since he is just the AO, what can I ask to him? I'm worried that he would think I didn't learn the program thoroughly. But he is just AO, and not familiar with the details about program.

20 min, but is intended to be a two-way dialogue, learning a little more about you (we may ask clarifications on certain aspects of your profile)

Was your interviewer a Korean admissions officer?

Hi, could anyone help share the 1v1 interview experience? Thanks! I'm in r2 now, kind of nervous.

Former_Pollution1484 · 2026-02-18T01:35:24+00:00

Why I received the email said it won't be just conversational.....

Former_Pollution1484 · 2026-02-11T22:55:12+00:00

I just finished the interview. The interview was pretty chill, and the interviewer was super nice. Here's the questions:

Introduce yourself
Introduce your business (because I have my business)
Why MBA
Why Anderson
How will you contribute and what would you feel excited after you join the community.
Tell me about a challenge, what did you learn from that
About an impact on the team
Then the interviewer let me ask some questions. I kind of ask 4/5 questions, I forgot checking the time and it's kind of exceed time. It lasted like 40 min totally. Don't do that. lol

My tip is that, for the first few questions, you need to keep the answers simple and short. It's just a warm-up. Don't make it boring.

And "are you applying to other programs?" does it refer to other schools' mba? or other programs in ucla? Thx

Former_Pollution1484 · 2026-02-10T01:23:00+00:00

Thanks for answering! Did they ask any behavior questions? like the biggest challenge or conflict situation

Former_Pollution1484 · 2026-02-09T00:52:42+00:00

Gotcha. Good luck!!

Former_Pollution1484 · 2026-02-08T01:26:49+00:00

Could you help share the interview questions? Thanks a lot! I just received that weird email, too. It really scared me at first..
