My interview was with an alum. Lasted about 45 minutes. As most of the alumni interviews are, it was a casual discussion as follows:
- Reasons for decisions made throughout career
- Why MBA, Why Wharton, Why now
- How would you describe yourself
- Tell me about an ethical dilemma you faced
- Tell me about an incidence where you led a team without any formal authority
- Questions for him
I received a couple of feedback points during and after the interview, which were good. At the end of the interview, I have an even more positive feeling and respect for Wharton.
Advice: Be yourself, be ready to articulate your reasons for MBA at Wharton, understand what Wharton is looking for in an applicant and organize/present your responses accordingly (consistent with positioning/theme of essays).
