A trio of applicants to Wharton shared their interview questions from second-year student interviewers, including:
- How do you manage a global team?
- How do you motivate your team members?
- How do you deal with challenges in your team?
- Tell me about a time when you exhibited leadership.
- Provide three examples of how you would become involved with the Wharton community.
An Early Decision applicant to Columbia Business School also faced some questions about team work from an alum:
- [Provide an] example of leading a team.
- [Give me an] example of contributing to a team.
- [Explain an] example of a challenging team/group situation.
- Describe an ethical dilemma you have observed or experienced at work.
Across the pond, a London Business School Round 1 applicant interviewed with an alum:
- [What are your] goals? How will LBS help you get there?
- Have you applied to others schools? Which ones? Why?
The LBS applicant went on to describe the presentation portion of the interview,
- “At some point he gave me a topic for my presentation and he asked that I don’t share the topic with anyone so I won’t, but it was a general topic that did not require any particular knowledge. I had 7 minutes to prepare and 5 minutes to present. It did require some serious thinking and was very concrete.”
