Purdue MS GSCM Interview Question Bank and Application Tips

Today I want to share with you

what interviewers are really thinking

Interview questions may look wildly different

but they're all really just trying to understand the following

👉 How the program relates to your goals

👉 How you and the program make 1+1>2

How will you achieve your goals through the curriculum of the school you're applying to?

And only this school's program can deliver that result.

Remember, you need to carefully research the school's curriculum design and distinctive features

You can get a more realistic picture by networking with alumni

through coffee chats or informational interviews

👉 Whether your experience can have a positive impact on your classmates

US business school courses are full of sharing opinions and discussion

Many questions and case studies have no standard answer

Instead, the focus is on how these discussions spark critical thinking

leading to a more complete discussion

So your past experience (whether work, activities or business competitions) becomes very important

👉 Your culture fit with the school?

Ultimately, interviewers want students who can successfully complete their studies

and become outstanding alumni of the school after graduating

representing the school's brand

So whether you can finish your studies smoothly, achieve your goals

and become an ambassador for the program and someone future students turn to for help

this cultural fit becomes very important

You can learn about the school's culture through LinkedIn

or by attending coffee chats, recruiting events and other events the school holds

Every interview goes both ways

so this is also a key indicator of whether you'll fit in with the program
