Hi @mbaKid85 ,
I have my interview with Amy on 23rd. I guess you have already got an admit ?
Please provide any pointers on the interview ?
Thanks for opening this thread:)

Hi @ankurbahri ,
Congratulations on your interview request!
My interview was over skype (at 12:30 am!) and Amy was right on time so be sure to test skype and be ready at least 15 minutes before the time of the interview. I had my interview in early december and I was told I was admitted towards the end of the interview with a $20,000 scholarship.
My GMAT score wasn't that great (590) but I have very strong work experience. I was told that I will be given more financial aid if I improve my GMAT score, and am currently working on that.
Questions asked to me were the usual:
1. Why do an MBA now?
2. Tell me about a project you worked on that wasn't successful?
3. What are you strengths/weaknesses?
4. Why Whitman?
Tips:
For negative questions like no. 2 and weaknesses, what is important is how you turned the negatives into positives. For example, what are you doing to improve your weaknesses, what have you learned from the project that did not perform well?
In addition, for no.4, you would need to do some in-depth research of the school. I researched on how particular faculty would help me study, for example, being an engineer, I would identify with those professors who themselves had an engineering background.
Good luck and let us know how it went!
Great stuff!
I hope more Whitman admits use this forum as an opportunity to network.
