The following UPenn / Wharton interview questions and report were submitted to Clear Admit by a Round 2 applicant. Good luck to them!
I can’t stress enough on the importance of reaching the venue early. Take the time to bond with your team and understand their personalities to gauge what role you would possibly play in your team.
The TBD is very casual. Each team gets a total 35 minutes to discuss their plan and present to the observer. Be sure to limit the initial introduction of your idea to a minute or less. DO NOT RAMBLE. Practice this.
Your idea just helps push the conversation forward. My team went with a combination of 2-3 ideas that were presented by my team.
One team member proposed a schedule for the entire discussion. The whole discussion progressed quickly. We kept our eyes on the clock at all times and remembered to stick to the schedule that we had agreed upon.
We froze on a plan with 10 minutes left on the clock and used the next few minutes to discuss the presentation strategies. Each member presented one aspect of our plan.
Interview:
Short and crisp. Extremely conversational
1. How was your TBD?
2. Why are you interested in your particular future goals
3. Why MBA
4. Why Wharton
5. Do you have any questions for me?
