Hi all - I had my interview last week and wanted to share my experiences! Do people still have upcoming interviews or are they almost all over?

Overall thoughts: The interview was on campus, and everyone in the admissions office is incredibly friendly and nice. It's a typical blind interview...and compared to other schools, this one was my least stressful. There were no tricky or difficult questions at all. But one thing that struck me a bit odd is that there was hardly any follow-up questions to my answers. We were completely done in 30 minutes, including my questions and plenty of "non-interview" conversation. At least I never felt rushed. Did anyone else think their interview was a bit short???

Questions:
1. Tell me about yourself
2. Why MBA
3. Leadership style
4. Lesson from teamwork
5. What do you do outside of work
6. What do you want to highlight in your application

Hope that helps! PM me if you have any specific questions! Here's to waiting for Dec. 19!!!!!

Same, not a lot of follow up questions. Mostly listening to me speak, taking notes, and moving on to the next question. hopefully that means we were very clear, concise, and complete in our responses :-D

Tepper has a policy of sending out invites till the day they declare results. So as of now, there is no point getting negative. I would suggest concentrating on the rest of the applications. Which other schools are you applying ?

Hey everybody, I haven't been active on this forum yet but I just finished my interview this morning so I thought I'd share my experience.

First off, my interview was with Lauren Capone. She was extremely nice, informational, and easy to talk to. Questions:

1. Tell me about yourself academically and professionally starting with undergrad and leading up to now.
2. Why an MBA now?
3. Why a Tepper MBA?
4. What type of leader are you?
5. Biggest perceived weakness in your application and what steps are you taking to address it?

Then she asked if I had any questions. My interview only lasted 16 minutes but part of that is because I only had two questions since I visited the school for a weekend last month.

Good luck!

Keep the faith! You put together the best app you could, and there's still 17 days left which is plenty of time to get an interview invite.

I'm a Consortium applicant, so I did my interview with Linwood Harris on Wednesday.

1. Tell me about yourself
2. Why MBA?
3. What have you done to support the Consortium?
4. Leadership and teamwork examples
5. How are you going to hit the ground running at Tepper?
6. What do you do outside of work?
7. Any questions for the interviewer?

30 minutes on the dot. Interview started out a little shaky, but once we got to the Consortium question everything got dialed in real quick. We talked a lot about social impact since that's my post-MBA goal, and I pitched a few related ideas I had to improve the program. Talked about family and the partners club, so on the whole I think I got to present myself as a well-rounded tech guy :-D

Generally the feedback is taken around August. It is meant for students who were unsuccessful in the first attempt and are planning to apply again. This is the first time I am applying so I dont know how to get the feedback.

Yes, I already got an invite and I am done with my interview. Now waiting eagerly for the results. Tepper sends interview invites till the result deadline. So hang on and Best of luck !!

Btw I am also in IT consulting with WE of 4 years 6 months

Hi Tepper applicants! FYI if you're applying to Tepper through the Consortium Graduate Study in Management (CGSM), hop over to the Consortium 2012 Forum and Update Your Profile to reflect that you are applying through the Consortium.

It's simple. Just select your school as "Consortium, the", then indicate which specific institution(s) you'll be applying to and the Consortium round you'll be applying in. You can do all of this easily through the handy 'Add to Your Schools' link on the front page of the Consortium 2012 Forum.

We have a special analytics specifically for those candidates applying via Consortium and lots of useful tips for your application and assessment of your candidacy.

Cheers!

Just scheduled my interview on 28th nov 2011. International applicant. Fingers crossed!

My telephonic interview was scheduled with Mr. James Frick, the Director of Admissions team. However, he could not get through to my number for over 15 minutes since there were some network issues. He also suggested to have Skype interview without video, but by the time I responded to him, we were already 20 minutes late. Finally, he suggested that he would ask Carol (She takes care of interview scheduling) to reschedule the interview again since he was busy with his schedule. I am very thankful that he was very accommodative and suggested to reschedule. Hope this would not be something negative for my application though!..Any thoughts?

Had my interview yesterday with the Adcom member. The questions were

1. Tell me about yourself
2. Why and what do you want to gain out of an MBA
3. Why Tepper
4. How would I contribute to Tepper
5. What do I do in my free time

The interview lasted exactly 30 minutes including the questions I asked her.

The interviewer Ashlie Prioleau was very friendly and made me feel comfortable while answering the questions. However, I felt that I could have done a lot better. The wait continues till 19th Dec. Not too hopeful of a positive response from Tepper
