Wharton MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 1 / Adcom / Off-Campus

The interview lasted for 35-40 minutes. The interviewer was really nice and encouraging throughout. After talking generally for 2-3 minutes, the interviewer told me that we would have some serious questions now and that the interviewer would be writing a lot and that I shouldn’t stop or get disturbed on that account. Inspite of that, the interviewer made decent eye contact and did not stop me while I spoke. I was asked three questions with follow-up questions after my initial reply to each of them.

  • Tell me about a time when while working in a group, you considered the opinions of others for a task.
  • Describe a time when you worked in a team without anyone overseeing your work.
  • Explain a time when you persuaded others to your way of thinking, when at first they didn’t agree with your idea.

Then I was asked if I had any questions to ask the interviewer, which went on for another ten minutes.
