With a member of the admissions committee:
- Come in
- Hello
- Was it difficult to find this place?
- Do you have a copy of your resume? Great! (glanced at it silently for about 5 seconds)
- So walk me through your resume. (15 minutes, including interjections of interest but little else)
- What kind of roles do you play on your teams? (4)
- What’s a typical day like? (3)
- What was it like to be in [country X, Y]? (3)
- How did you choose your undergraduate college? (2)
- There are lots of great schools; why Wharton? (3)
- But why do you need an MBA, given all your experience and a consulting background? (2)
- Why’s now the best time? (2)
- What do you do outside work? (5)
- Do you have anything to add, or any questions for me? (3)
- Do you have anything to add? (asked second time)
- Bye; you’ll hear from us on Dec 20th. It’s a beautiful day; hope you enjoy it.
The whole thing lasted 45 minutes. It ended 15 minutes before the scheduled start (they asked us to arrive 15 minutes early, and I did) and ended 15 minutes early too.
