Wharton MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 2 / AdCom / Off-Campus

I had a phone interview with an AdCom member. She was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. She described the process and told me that a phone interview is equal to an in-person interview. Then she asked me if I had any question about the process.

The interview was straight-forward. 4 behavioral questions + traditional questions.

The questions were (in order)

  • Walk me through your resume
  • Describe a time when you led a team and it failed
  • Describe a time when you managed someone more senior to you
  • Describe a time when you managed someone with less experience than you
  • Describe a time when you had to convince people of an idea they initially opposed
  • Why MBA? Why now? Why Wharton
  • Do you have any question for me?

There were no follow-up questions. The interview lasted 27 minutes.

I was well prepared thanks to this Wiki page.

I hope this is helpful! Best of luck!
