It\u2019s not about strutting your stuff or dominating the conversation. It\u2019s also not about being a wallflower or going with the flow.<\/p>\n<p>You need to listen carefully and contribute constructively. The team\u2019s success is paramount.<\/p>\n<p>Most traditional interviews are the opposite. They focus on you, and you are supposed to engage in a dialogue that highlights your individual contributions and fit with the interviewing MBA program. There is no team. The TBD \u2013 or any group interview \u2013 is a new ballgame and one you need to train for \u2013 unless you want to leave the results to chance.<\/p>\n<p>This is your opportunity to show the adcom what you\u2019ll contribute to Wharton \u2013 an opportunity you truly don\u2019t want to miss. Train and practice for it with Accepted\u2019s Mock Wharton Team-Based Discussion. Our Mock TBD is a prime-time rehearsal. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accepted.com\/mba\/services\/interview-assistance?utm_campaign=Blog&amp;utm_medium=mock_wharton_tbd_anybody&amp;utm_source=blog#tab-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Details and prices are here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t take our word for it, though. Here\u2019s some of the feedback we\u2019ve received from mock interview participants:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>\u201cI truly valued the opportunity to practice discussing the interview topic with other skilled and motivated candidates. I believe after participating in one of these groups, the candidates are much more prepared for the real interview.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>\u201cThis exercise gave me the opportunity to practice with students who actually have received the interview invite as well. It gave me a clear picture of how the discussion would flow and identify areas I need to focus on to improve my performance in the actual interview. Thank you!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>\u201cThe benefits of the Mock Wharton Team-Based Discussion include: Trying out the experience of the group IV with other people invited to interview. Seeing my own weaknesses and other people's strengths.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Be ready. Be poised.
