Wharton MBA Admissions Interview Questions: On-campus / R1 / Student / Decision: Waitlist

It could have just been the day I was there, but the environment was much more focused / cool than any other on-campus interview I’ve had. Not bad, just an observation. Interviewer was very friendly, but it was clear that I was one in a long line of interviews for her.

  • Standard resume questions
  • Why MBA, why now
  • 2 good and 2 bad attributes that coworkers would describe
  • Walk through a recent success; then a recent failure
  • How will your cohort remember you
  • What legacy will you leave behind at Wharton

I asked what surprised her most, and she commented on Wharton’s strength outside of Finance, including non-profit. Also suggested that students were incredibly collaborative even when competing for the same jobs.
