I had an alumni interview with a class of 1996 alumn, in his office. I too found the interview very conversational, the guy was extremely friendly and enjoyed talking about the school and Philadelphia in general, as well as his family surprisingly. Here are *Short term goals
- Long term goals
- Explain more about the sector you work in (I come from a non-profit background)
- Extracurriculurs you participated in as an undergrad
- Imagine I am an admissions officer, and you need to sell me your candidacy. Take a minute to think about it, and 3-5 minutes to tell me why Wharton should accept you (I wasn’t expecting this one)
- Why Wharton
I was surprised he didn’t ask me if I had any questions for him, but the interview naturally flowed between questions and conversation so I got to hear about his positive experiences at Wharton. He also mentioned that 40% of applicants this year have received interview invites, so that should be a good sign to anyone who received one.
