Wharton MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 1 / On campus

My interview was on campus with a second year student. The time went by quite fast so I felt like I was not asked a lot of questions. The interviewer made me very comfortable and asked me the following:

  1. Walk me through your resume.
  2. Can you give some details on what you do at work?
  3. Why Mba, why Wharton?
  4. Why now?
  5. Please talk about one of your strengths and one weakness
  6. Do you want to mention anything that the adcoms should be concerned about that you may not have communicated in the application?
  7. Do you have any questions for me?

Overall the interviewer was friendly, gave me names of potential employeers who come on campus when I mentioned what I was interested in. I felt like perhaps I took too much time answering my current work and goals questions. I now feel that I could have done better, but overall I think it went ok. The interviewer looked at his watch 2-3 times to make sure he was not going over the alloted 30 mins i guess.
