The interview’s done. It went well – nothing unusual. The flow was walk me through your resume, significant accomplishment at work and community, career goals, why mba, why wharton, how would your classmates view you, anything else you want to add etc. there were a couple more, which were the usual kind. then the questions for me bit. I think in all it might have taken somewhere above 30 minutes, 40 max. flew by pretty quick. They are using the 45 minutes slot as just a buffer, you’re told its 30 minutes as soon as you step in.
I think I covered everything I wanted to pretty well. The questions that I’d rather not have had were: tell me about your leadership style (I always find this question to be rather corny, and was surprised to get this rather HBS like question in the Wharton interview!) and is there anything the adcom should be concerned about in your application. Actually, probably the second question is a good thing, because I could bring up my reapplication and say how I’ve improved since then. she did make a note of that.
