Hi Paul,
I had three questions regarding interviews:
1) Besides surfing the BW message boards and the ClearAdmit Wiki, can you recommend other sites where applicant post their interview experiences?
2) I've read that Wharton interview app. 30% of their applicant pool. Is this true? Do you have any insights/strategies to the Wharton interviews?
3) Any insights you have into the Cornell interview would also be of great help.
Thanks.
P.S. To all, I credit Paul's book for helping me land interviews at the aforementioned schools. It really helped organized my essays post my HBS apps. If only I had used it sooner, alas...
mrmikec,
Thanks for the plug for my book. If you'd care to add a comment to the
book's page on Amazon.comI'd be eternally grateful.
To your questions:
1.) Yes,
Accepted.com's interview feedback databaseis the best.
2.) I believe Wharton interviews closer to 40-50% of their applicant pool. Roughly a third of this group is then admitted. Wharton's interviews are conducted by Wharton students on campus and off campus by adcoms or alumni. The interview itself is fairly straightforward and conversational. See
Accepted.com's interview feedback database for further info on questions asked, etc.
3.)
Accepted.com's interview feedback database for Cornell.
