Thanks again guys- need your help with my interviewer situation. There are THREE alums within a 20 mile radius here. One has a broken email address that bounced (though he was perfect- similar background, went to the same school as I did for my MS). Of the other 2, one has founded a boutique consulting firm that seems to employ a lot of H/W graduates. I am looking to get into consulting post MBA, so am a little skeptical about interviewing with someone who might be VERY knowledgable about my industry/function of interest as he might end up grilling me too much on my goals. The last interviewer, I have no idea.

So...would you say go with the boutique consulting firm guy or on-campus? Any insights on interviewing with someone who is in the same field as your post-mba goals?

Getting interviewed by a person who has background similar to what you want to do post MBA can be a good thing if you prepare well. It will show your enthusiasm, your research skills, inclination and aptitude to certain extent. He might give a good feedback based on your conversation. On the other hand, if you don't do your homework, it can turn against you.
I have witnessed it myself while interviewing for a poduct manager(PM) position in a software firm. Being from a software background, I did my due research eventhough haven't worked in PM area. Everyone I interviewed was impressed.

So if I were you, definitely would go for the boutique consulting guy, but with proper preparation and tools before entering the war field.

The key here is REALLY preparing well. If you don't, the interviewer is going to mop you across the floor. If you think you can nail it, then go for it. You need to anticipate the follow up questions You need to answer: Why consulting? Why management consulting as opposed to project management, financial advisory, or other types of consulting? What firms interest you and why? What people/experience/knowledge do you have regarding the field? Why Wharton, as opposed to Harvard? etc. etc.

Good luck!

Seems like Wharton will stick to its reputation for sending lots of invites a day before the deadline.

Agreed. The waiting has become unbearable. I haven' posted much lately, but I've been following the forum every day. Congrats to the invites!

As for myself, even though there are still chances that I get an interview, the hopes are starting to fade... (rightly or wrongly, i don't know).
