Wharton MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 2 / On-Campus

Interview Date: 3/3/2011 Location: Admissions Office

Interviewer introduced herself briefly and then asked me to tell her about myself (while she reviewed my resume).

  • Why do you want an MBA? [took light notes during this]
  • Tell me about a time when you had to consider the opinions and feelings of others when completing an important task or project. [she took a lot of notes and then asked the follow-up: “what was the outcome?”]
  • Tell me about a time when you had to complete an important task when others on your team were less focused than you on completing it. [lots of notes, but no follow-up]
  • Tell me about a time when you persuaded others to agree with an idea of yours, when at first they didn’t. [lots of notes, but no follow-up]

The interview ended with me asking a few questions about the school and the interviewer answering.

The interview lasted a total of about 40 minutes.
