Had my interview in Tokyo with an alum working for one of the big 3 strat firms. Questions asked were pretty straightforward:
- Career progression, and why I made certain choices
- Career goals
- Why MBA/Wharton
- What do you do in your free time?
- At Wharton, your classmates will all be smart and successful. What differentiates you from the rest?
- How are your applications progressing? Have you heard from any of the other schools you’ve applied to?
Interestingly, he also asked me about how I felt about being among “money focused” students. Tips: It’s conversational so don’t stress about your answers (I don’t think they’ll remember half of what you say anyway), and definitely ask if there are any other questions that your interviewer would like to ask because there’s a form they have to fill out and they may have missed out some questions. Full details of how I did for those interested are here.
