The Berkeley Haas MBA interview is by invitation only, meaning not all applicants get one. If you’re selected, it’s a good sign that the admissions team sees potential in your application.
Interviews are typically conducted by Haas alumni or current students and last about 30 to 40 minutes. They are blind interviews, so your interviewer only has access to your résumé, not your full application. Expect behavioral questions focused on leadership, teamwork, problem-solving, and your fit with Haas' culture.
Common questions include:
- Why Haas?
- Tell me about a time you led a team through a challenge.
- Describe a time you gave or received critical feedback.
- How do you embody Haas' four defining leadership principles?
The style is conversational, and interviewers want to see authenticity, clarity, and self-awareness in your responses. After the interview, the evaluator submits feedback to the admissions committee, which factors into your final decision.
If you’re invited, prepare well, stay confident, and be yourself—Haas values collaborative and innovative thinkers.
