Interview was very professional. Met in his office. He had only positive things to say about his Wharton experience. This was a very conversational interview. It was clearly a blind interview working loosely off of my resume. It did not seem that he was working off of any scripted questions. In fact I was suprised that there were no tricky questions (especially since he was a McKinsey? guy). Interesting note … he seemed frustrated a little with Wharton in that he commented that through the years he has seen virtually no correllation between his notes to Wharton regarding the candidate and the subsequent acceptance or rejection of that candidate. I think that speaks to the fact that they interview such a relatively high percentage of applicants.
