What to expect

Mendoza's interview has been a professional but friendly Zoom conversation with an admissions committee member. It opens with the standards, tell me about yourself and why an MBA at Notre Dame, then turns to a self-awareness question about the people you would add to round out a team. A short case question follows, and the interview closes on lighter, personal ground: who you admire, a fun fact, and what you do for fun.

Counted from MBA Protocol client debriefs.
