We also discussed career progress and my extracurricular activities. My interviewer was very nice, so I don’t know if he was nodding along because he was agreeing with me, or if he was just being polite. When it was my turn to ask questions, I asked why he had chose Wharton (similar reasons to mine – international student body, strong finance program).
The interview was scheduled to last 30 minutes, but mine lasted around 45. Overall, I thought the environment was very relaxed and I didn’t feel at all like I was being grilled.
