Wharton MBA Admissions Interview Questions: R2 / Alumni

My alumni interview was held in the alumn’s office and lasted approx. 1 hr.

  • Walk me through your resume.
  • Why MBA?
  • Why Wharton?
  • Tell me why this is the best time for your MBA
  • What are your post-MBA goals?
  • Discussion about options for my short-term goals.
  • How does your work experience with your current company fit in with your long-term career goals?
  • Some talk about what I’m currently doing in this city, the politics between the US and the country in which I’m currently living, and discussion about previous work experience.
  • What weakness in your application would the Admissions Committee be concerned about? [The alumn divulged that this is a required question by Wharton’s AdCom staff.]
  • Do you have any questions?

The alum was extremely friendly, put me immediately at ease and offered further help, if needed, with any further MBA questions down the road.
