Round 2 / Off-campus / Alumni (Published February 23rd, 2010)

The interview took place in a London hotel's cafe. Timing was 45 minutes discussion (the alumnus kept track of time all the way through the interview) + 20 minutes questions and informal discussion. The atmosphere was quite relaxed, especially after the "official" part ended.

Walk me through your resume (I kept on describing my long and short term plans, as the interviewer did not stop me)
What was the most important project you have done? (I've been working for the same consulting company since graduation)
Why entrepreneurship? Tell me two examples from your past experience
Why Wharton? He asked some follow up questions to challenge me
What are you most proud of?
If you had 1 million dollars, what would you do with it?
If you were an alumni interviewer what would be your two most important questions to the applicant (he then asked me to answer these questions)
What do you offer to Wharton/why you?
How would you fit in the community?
Give me two strengths and two weaknesses and provide actual examples (he then asked follow up questions on these)
How do you imagine yourself 20 years from now?
Questions to the interviewer.
We then continued the discussion. He openly answered all my questions and made a case for Wharton. After about an hour he asked me to finish the discussion, as he did not want "his opinion to be altered", and because he should not give more time to any one interviewee.

Overall, the interviewer very friendly and relaxed. He offered to remain in touch and asked me to let him know about the decision.

Round 1 / On-campus / 2nd year student (Published January 20th, 2010)

I interviewed on campus with a 2nd year student. She was friendly, and the interview was generally pretty laid back, though she packed alot of questions in. To prepare I looked over the Clear Admit wiki interview reports and prepared some answers to possible questions. Sample questions are as follows:

Walk me through your resume.
Why are you pursuing an MBA?
Tell me about a time when you lead a team.
Tell me about a time when you worked with a difficult teammate.
If you were working in Wharton learning team, what characteristics would you look for in your groupmates?
What is your biggest professional accomplishment?
What is your biggest personal or professional regret?
Is there anything you would like to talk about that you have not had the chance?
Any questions for me?
One interesting thing was that she did not ask me Why Wharton or why an MBA now. Overall, the interview was relaxed and gave me a chance to cover the points I wanted to, with a couple tougher ones mixed in (biggest regret).

Round 1 / On-campus / Second-year Student (Published November 23, 2009)

The interview atmosphere was very casual. After waiting for about ten minutes in the admissions office waiting room, I was escorted to an interview room by a second-year MBA student. The first five minutes of the interview was a casual conversation outlining the items on my resume.

The interviewer then said he had to "get through" some specific questions. After he asked a question, I would respond, and he would frequently comment on my responses, or ask follow-up questions. It was a very casual, conversational interview.

Some specific questions that were asked:

Tell me some of your weaknesses
Describe your leadership style
Tell me about a time you were involved in a confrontation, either at work or in your personal *life
Why an MBA? Why Wharton? Why now?
What are your plans post-MBA?
As a non-traditional applicant, how do you plan to ensure that you can keep up with the quantitative coursework here?
There was nothing surprising about the interview, other than how conversational and pleasant it was. I left Wharton with a great feeling about the school and its students.
