I interviewed on-campus with a second year student. She was really pleasant and the interview was extremely conversational. The whole thing lasted about 25 minutes. Here are the questions as I remember them:
- Walk me through your resume?
- What are you working on right now? What will you do next week?
- How would your peers describe you?
- Discuss three strengths and three weaknesses? (perhaps the toughest question. What was she thinking? 3 weaknesses?
- Do many people with your non-traditional background go for MBA? Why do you want an MBA?
- What activities do you plan to pursue while at Wharton?
- Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
In retrospect I was perhaps too enthusiastic and energetic in my interview. In the end I got waitlisted at Wharton but accepted at HBS, my top choice.
