the process is flawed and unfair
Sandy, with all due respect, how did you make the above conclusion?

duh, because some kids have access to the questions in advance (sent to them by alums, or friends, or even leaky adcoms who dont like the process either) and some kids, like the ones on this forum, have a pretty darned good idea of what Interview will be like, and some poor schmucks (more than you imagine) are going into Interview cold, and the nature of the interview is such, that because they ONLY drill down on 3 stories, prepping those stories is a great advantage.

So like any other member, I visit this forum today and see 3 pages worth of postings. Before reading, I think - what must have happened today that there are 3 pages of posts...Then I read them ..what do I see?

Discussion on a pretty insignificant topic over a larger scheme of things...

Really guys?

PS - All you guys doing interviews on Friday wanna meet up for a coffee or something. PM me if any interests. Maybe we can relax and chit chat after the interview is done...

Yuck, yuck, yuck. If I had been silent, chum, you'd be prepping your resume walk through and why Wharton, why now answers right now.

I am confused. How is this different from the "Why Wharton? Why now?" and "Walk me through your CV" routine that everybody knew about?

what shocks me a bit is the fact that in the Chicago Booth thread there are plenty of people sharing their interview experiences and here there is none so far...

Open to debate

PS: I have mine this Friday.
