I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kearney (New York, NY) in Jan 2011
Interview
Typical business school interviewing process. First round: two case interviews with Manager or Principal Second/Final round: three interviews. One is a 1 hour live case with a manager the other two are with Partners. One of which is a standard case and the other is a more typical behavioral fit interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Live case places significant time demands on interviewee. Advice would be to go to paper early and develop quick story board to structure your thoughts.
Smooth interview process, very well organized. Two rounds with two interviews each (fit + case). Expect results to come 1 week after each round, with the possibility to get feedback from interviewers.
I applied online. I interviewed at Kearney (New York, NY)
Interview
The case was easy. It was on the operation side, but the behaviours were difficult. They really want to see if you are fit or not. They asked me back to back questions about different situations, how I would deal with them, what my Mindset is
