I had my Round 2 interview with an Alumnus. My interviewer was great and I was able to connect with him gradually as we discussed various things. While some of the questions were direct, others were indirectly positioned to understand the person that I am and the motivations behind where I am today and where I want to go.
My interviewer spent a couple of minutes quickly glancing over my Resume and catching the key elements. His questions addressed the following:
- Career Progression
- Why I attended my undergrad school and major
- Future goals and how Wharton fits in
- Any new information to add to my application
- Extra-curricular activities
- Questions for the interviewer
While the questions were straight forward, the interviewer definitely probed into specifics of my answers to fill in any holes or gaps in the details. The interview lasted around 45 minutes. Overall, I was impressed with the way my interviewer conducted the interview and represented Wharton, leaving me even more impressed about the school.
