Wharton MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 1 / On Campus

Applicant for Fall 2007

Interviewer: Second year MBA student whose MBA focus was finance. I had to relate my goals and background in an easy to understand manner. She put me at ease by making some small talk initially.

Questions were fairly standard:

1. Career path
2. Why MBA
3. Why now and Why Wharton
4. What would you bring to Wharton
5. What are your extra-curricular interests
6. In-depth question on two of my extra-curricular activities
7. Leadership style and one weakness

Then I asked the interviewer some questions. The overall experience was fairly positive.
