Chicago Booth MBA Interviews are by invitation only. They are conducted by members of the Adcom, second-year students or alumni. Typically, an interview lasts for about 40-50 minutes and they are conducted blind, which means, the interviewer has reviewed your resume, but not the rest of your application.

As such, you will have a chance to expand on your essays, experiences, and reasons for attending Chicago Booth as well as ask questions of your own. So, its important that you know your story well and have practised enough to tell it articulately. Read on for common interview questions:
