Use this platform to know each-other, build network, exchange ideas/information, discuss application strategies, share interview /school visit experiences, and boost one-another's morale to face the tough admission process.

Curious. I thought Wharton had a question "Have you taken the GMAT - Yes/No ?" If Yes, reporting the score was mandatory.
Didn't know there was a way to apply exclusively through GRE.

Yeah this is more an issue with this GMATclub website. GMAT club requires you put down a GMAT score. I've never taken the GMAT, my listed GMAT score is simply my GRE score converted to GMAT using the online tool. I hope that answers your question.

TBD went very well for my group and it seemed most people had a positive experience afterwards. Just remember to play nice with everybody and remain positive during the experience and you should do well.

Had my TBD last week.

My advice is simple: Relax.

This interview is likely not going to make or break your admission decision. I spoke to more than one current student who said they thought they didn't do well in the TBD and obviously still got admitted. You don't need to dominate the conversation or talk a lot, just be friendly and helpful to the group rather than try to "show off".

Just my opinion from talking to current students and committee members: It's not Pass/fail. It's just another snapshot to add to your overall application. If you're a "borderline" candidate to begin with, perhaps an amazing performance might tip the scales in your favor, but this isn't true for everyone. Your GPA/GMAT/WE/Recs, etc matter more than the interview, I think it's something they use to get a better snapshot of who you are, and verify that you're not a jerk, can't speak under pressure, etc. 80%+ of people I imagine are going to have a perfectly fine TBD and their admit/deny decision is going to hinge more on the rest of their app than the TBD.

Just my thoughts. Good luck everyone!
