I interviewed at Wharton on February 22nd on campus with a second year MBA student who was part of the AdCom committee. The interview took place in a small room and was very procedural. He had a list of questions in front of him that he needed to get through in 30 minutes. Those questions included:
- Tell me a little bit about yourself
- Why MBA?
- What’s your goal post-MBA?
- Why this post-MBA industry?
- Why Wharton?
- Give me some examples of leadership.
- Give me some examples of mentorship.
- What are some things you like to do outside of work?
- If you were CEO of your company, what would you change?
- Is there anything else you haven’t had the chance to say?
- Do you have any questions for me?
He was nice and conversational, but it was also very procedural and more of a back-and-forth question/answer, question/answer than a conversation. It’s a lot to get through in 30 minutes! I sent a thank you note to my interviewer after the interview and received a very nice response. Now I’m just waiting until decision day on March 26th! Best of luck.
