Vanderbilt MSF interivew - Help please

Hello everyone,

I just got invited for an interview for Vanderbilt's Master in Finance program. Does anyone have any experience with the type of questions they ask? If so, could I be provided with some examples?

Thank you!

 

I have had an interview. They are quite nice about it and did not ask anything to stressfull. But mainly be able to defend on your past experiences and know how that will help you in the future.

Just had my interview. Asked me to tell her more about my last internship and why I decided to take that job. If I was still working at that company and was promoted, what would I do to improve the company? Why is now the best time for me to pursue an MSF? Why an MSF? What job do you want afterwards? How do you deal with conflict with someone you're working with? Give an example. Example of a time when you worked with others from different backgrounds/culture/race/etc. and how you handled the problems that that presented. Example of a project that you worked on that required a lot of planning and organization. How would your parents and friends say you deal with change? What other programs are you applying to? And give the reasons why for each. Standard behavioral stuff. Mine was 25 minutes tops. She was nice enough, but was typing up my responses so it was like talking to a wall.

 

Hi. I think i just screwed my interview because it lasted for just 10 minutes. And i got a little nervous.
