Prediction of 2026 Admission Interview Questions (Kira Style)
Tell me about a situation where you worked with people from very different backgrounds. How did you use those differences to help the group understand each other and achieve a meaningful result?
In what kind of environment do you perform your best—working alone, collaborating with a team, following a structured routine, or having flexible space to manage your own time? Explain why that approach works well for you.
AI is becoming part of everyday learning and professional work. What does responsible use of AI mean to you in an academic setting, and how do you plan to manage your use of AI tools during your time at Duke?
Describe a moment when you had to make a difficult choice. What factors did you consider, what did you decide, and what did the experience show you about yourself?
Share an example of a time when your actions—either as a leader or a supporting member—helped a team accomplish something meaningful. What did you learn about collaborating with others?
Talk about a time when things didn’t go as planned or you didn’t reach a goal. What did you learn from the experience, and how has it influenced the way you handle challenges now?
Graduate study requires balancing coursework, research, work responsibilities, and personal life. Tell me about a period when you had to manage several commitments at once. What strategies helped you stay on track, and how would you apply them in graduate school?
Do you thrive more in a collaborative environment or a competitive one? Explain your preference and how it shapes the way you learn and contribute within a group or academic setting.
Describe a personal or professional weakness you’ve worked to improve. What steps did you take, and how has the experience shaped your growth or approach to challenges?
What’s something you taught yourself—academic or not—that you’re proud of? What motivated you to learn it, and how has it shaped the way you tackle new challenges?
