TBD'd on the 14th. Went to the sponsored lunch. That was a good forum to get some of the fellow applicants. 3-4 2nd years also attended and we were able to ask some questions. I believe some people took a 30 min tour of campus with an admissions member.

The TBD was comfortable. My group included 3 people that I had talked to throughout the day already. Tips: someone keep time, agree on a presentation format, agree on who will present, explore all ideas but come to consensus and don't forget that you still have to present.

I wish I would have scheduled a M-TH TBD so that I could have sat-in on a class.

Good luck to those remaining.

For those who interviewed already, what types of questions are you getting in the 10/15 minute portion?

Similar to as seen here:
https://blog.clearadmit.com/category/int ... l/wharton/

i.e. how did you perform in the TBD, similar to work experience...?

Wow, see this is an accurate ranking. Not the businessweek ranking showing Fuqua as number one. Only thing I would change is Chicago on top of MIT which I think is a one trick pony. Everything else stays as is.

Cheers

It's pretty damn close though! I've been checking periodically and the ranks between MIT, Chicago, and Kellogg fluctuate, though their absolute scores stay the same.

I agree with you on that. I guess Booth for Finance, MIT for Tech/Entrepreneurship and Kellogg for Marketing.

All done with the Wharton TBD! Feels great to be done with the process. Let the waiting game commence.

Some thoughts on the TBD (take these with a grain of salt, given that I have not received any feedback on my performance):
- Don't spend too much time preparing - I actually found it nice to be in a position of exploring a teammate's proposal rather than my own
- Ask probing questions, but don't put too much pressure on receiving a detailed response - in theory there will be relatively minimal subject expertise around the room
- Be sure to always get the group moving towards an end-goal - don't get lost in trivial debates about logistics, etc. You need a proposal at the end of the day that passes a logic test, but it doesn't need to be perfect. If you see your team going down a road that is not going to directly impact the "deliverable," say something and get the team back on track (be polite about it though)
- There is the potential to witness a fellow applicant "bombing" the TBD, either by lack of or ineffective participation - use this an opportunity to showcase your ability to politely get people involved. NB: There is a fine line between involving everyone and putting someone on the spot - don't do the latter.

Best of luck everyone!

Did you really get a 790 GMAT and only applying to Wharton first round? Quite surprised here!

Good luck, hopefully I'll meet you there

No, I've applied elsewhere (HBS and GSB) and not been admitted. If I've learned one thing this admissions season, it's that GMAT and solid work experience / recs / ECs will only get you so far.

You don't know about Stanford to be frank. But yes, there's a random element which I like to call luck to get an invite into these programs. I'm pretty sure there are less qualified applicants right now interviewing both at HBS and Stanford right now with no offense to them cause its not their fault but rather admissions who screw up
