Ankit, here you go

When's your interview anyway?

Hi guys,
Just got done with the interview couple of hours back. Here are the details I remember:
Mode: Over Skype
Nationality: Indian
Questions:
1) Why MBA/Tepper/now?
2) International experience
3) Any cultural changes faced in working with cross-office team settings
4) Example of issue faced in team work

The questions were slightly more directed towards my profile as I have relatively low work ex. Hope this helps. ATB to others.

On a different note, can someone explain whether Tepper declares results only on the specified date or anytime before that. From what I get from last year forums, it only declares on the specified date but please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks for that

How long did your interview last ?

Did you ask any questions ?

AFAIK, they declare all the results via email at the same time

ATB dude

Best,
Ankit

30 minutes sharp, I asked questions about trek and mini semester. When's yours?

I am a R1 candidate. I got my interview invite on Nov 2, 10 days after submitting the application. On Nov 5 (3 days after getting the invite), I got an email saying my app is complete. :-D

My interview is scheduled for Nov 30.

Kudos

Had my interview yesterday on campus. Lasted about 50 minutes. Felt more like a conversation. Questions were pretty basic, wanting to know more about your resume and such.

1. Tell me about yourself (then asked specific questions as I talked)
2. Why MBA now?
3. Why Tepper?
4. Teamwork experience?
5. Talk about a time when you made a member of a team do something he/she may not have wanted to do?
6. What can you contribute to Tepper?
7. Short term, long term goals.
8. Leadership?

Hope this helps. Really enjoyed my visit.

Will provide profile/interview details after interview. Note: I am visiting campus and requested to meet with AdCom and they were able to accommodate. I was not invited to interview nor have I submitted any application.

I believe all Tepper interviews are conducted with AdCom. I did sit in on a class and I really recommend it. It gives you a sense of the learning environment, which I really appreciated at Tepper. I would also do the lunch with a student and information session. The campus tour was fine, but nothing new or mind-opening except to ask candid questions of a student if you wanted to. And my tour guide was pretty honest.

Hi Everyone. I'm glad to see the interest this year and would love to help however possible.

I am a 2nd-year student in the program, focused on Marketing. I try to keep an eye/ear on admissions and the GMATclub boards. If any of you have any questions you'd like to ask please feel free to post them here. I will try to check the forum every couple of days.

Yeah I asked a few questions at the end, mostly about my personal fit with Tepper. The interviewer seemed to respond well.
