Had my Skype interview with Deputy Director of Admissions. It was a really nice interview. Some of the questions that I can remember are listed below: 1. Can you walk me through your life so far emphasising on your professional experiences. -> Some follow up questions here. 2. How did you decide that MBA is the right next choice. And how can Foster help you in that. 3. There is a possibility that your Plan A won't work. What is your Plan B? 4. What does the words determination and resilient mean for you? Could you share an example where you showed these characteristics? 5. As we all know branding is very important and each product is supposed to have an edge on others. Similarly, as an MBA student, you need to have that edge/uniqueness about you. What according to you is that edge that you have over someone else? Then came the chance for me to ask questions, and in all my experience, this was the most satisfying Q/A session I had where he really answered my questions in detail with complete honesty. If you see, one of the question is same as one of the Kira questions. So I would suggest you to go through that as well. Its a casual interview. Be yourself. Know your story well and be confident about them. All the best to everyone reading this!

I completed my interview on campus at Wharton SF on 01/25/2020. I have to admit, it was unlike anything I had imagined. The entire experience was super fun and invigorating. I had a class visit scheduled from 9-10:30 am and the interview at 10:45 Upon entering, I was greeted by the front desk and they gave me a badge and a welcome packet with some pertinent information such as class schedule, some Wharton advertisements and the graduating and incoming class schedule for the year. I, along with a couple of other visitors was shown around the campus, which is the entirety of the sixth floor. It was nice to see the facility and students getting ready for class. Once we were done we headed to the classroom. I sat in on a consumer behavior class and it was pretty interesting. We were asked to refrain from contributing to the class and sit at the back of the room. Before the class started I was able to chat with one or two students. I left the classroom 10 mins early to get settled and freshen up. I took a seat at the lobby and spent some time contemplating. The location of Wharton is so beautiful that you end up looking at the bay and your mind starts wandering off. I highly recommend you look out and down to get rid of any nervous jitters. Barbara a.k.a Barb stopped by to say hi and we spoke for a couple of minutes. At 10:45 Bernie, my interviewer, met me in the lobby and escorted me to a meeting room. The next 1hr 15 mins went by like a breeze. I think they really try to make you comfortable and want to know more about you as a person. No trick questions, everything pretty straightforward. She had a copy of my resume and a sheet of paper to jot down some notes. Started off why MBA now, about yourself, journey, why here, work life, support system. During this entire time it was a conversation and not a Q&A session. At 12 noon she took me to the lunch hall and I sat down with some students and spent the rest of the hour picking brains. Overall an awesome experience and i highly recommend sitting in on a class before the interview if possible. It just gives you more things to talk about and you can also show that you listened to something. Here are some tips : Take time to self reflect and introspect before the interview - don’t try to cram in some last minute answers. Talk to other visitors and break the ice Appear confident and know that everyone there is a professional - this is not a dorm or student union or a job interview. If you have only a little time between class and interview, like i did, take off early and gather your thoughts, use the restroom etc. Grab a bottle of water and take it to the interview - this will come in handy. Use it to your advantage. Take a sip here and there to compose yourself or even use it to get some time while you think about the question asked. Make eye contact with the interviewer - simple nods and non verbal communication is imperative to show that you are still there, with both body and mind. Appreciate the interviewer if he/she has a similar thought as you do and smile to instill confidence and break the ice. Keep one or two humorous comments handy. Something clean. Keep a quote handy - one that you can remember and that resonates with you. Try to ask 2-3 questions - something out of the ordinary. Don’t make negative remarks about anybody or anything - Especially political. Not the place or time for it. Remember that they are trying to figure you out and you want to be like an open book unlike a date where you play the mystery game. Be yourself and honest. You will feel like it was not an interview but a like minded conversation. Good luck to all applying!

I completed the EA in early August and then setup an initial call with the admissions staff. As others have stated the call was informal but allowed me to schedule my interview. I interviewed in mid-September at the SF campus. My day started at about 10:00 with a tour of the facility, followed by a couple informal chats and my interview about 11:00. There were some surprisingly good snacks, so of course, I loaded up about the time the students were coming out for break. The interview was very conversational, with all the questions you would expect. Tell me about yourself/career, why an MBA, why Wharton, etc. Just google top MBA interview questions and I think I was asked 8 of the top 10, with no curve balls. The interview was really relaxed, and it felt more like a discussion than an interview. At the start, I talked for a couple minutes about myself and the interviewer said that she could clearly see my career path and goals around an MBA, so I felt really relaxed. As a funny side note, we were in a glass walled office, and about halfway through, the sun landed on me and it got so hot! I am sure I looked extra nervous, but I was just incredibly warm. The interviewer did mention that she would not be reviewing my application since she interviewed me – something about the interviewer and application reviews are independent, but it was not really clear and not something to waste time discussing. The interview was followed by lunch with students and class attendance. The students were awesome. During lunch I chatted with Barbara Craft, who is really awesome. It was mostly small talk and logistics of the program. I share the same industry as several students so that was a great ice breaker, but all the students were really approachable. Including myself, four applicants interviewed on my day. I chatted with a couple of applicants and they were pleasant and interesting. I interviewed at other programs (i.e., Ross-LA) and it was a pretty similar experience. My advice. 1) review common MBA interview questions, 2) think about how you would answer, 3) practice - it always sounds better the second time, 4) relax - the EMBA program are for adults and that is how they treat you in the interview.

Like any other Tuckies, the 2-year interviewer was really nice in my interview. The first part was him asking me questions. This part seemed more like an interview, and he took notes. When I asked him questions, it felt more like a conversation to me. 1. Walk me through your resume 2. Why Tuck 3. What can you contribute 4. Tell me about time you had difficulty working with someone 5. Why BYU 6. What do you do outside of work 7. Tell me about your current role 8. ST/LT goal 9. If you don't get into an MBA this year, what's your plan? 10. Questions for me? Overall, I really liked our conversation. he provided very insightful answers about Tuck to my questions. I can see that he really believed in Tuck.

Physical space: You'll wait by the front desk waiting area. Your interviewer will call you up, you'll walk past front desk, and into a study room to the side of a center cubicle space. Interview: Blind, interviewer (Patti Russo), had only my resume in front of her. She had penciled in some notes in the corner, the only thing I could catch was my GMAT score. She reference my GMAT and GPA as no source of concern near the end of the interview. At this point, I've forgotten some of the questions, but I wrote these notes from a few weeks back: 1. Why MBA? 2. Why Ross? 3. What does prod management mean to you? 4. What will you offer to the program? 5. Is your current role as an Area Director operations or programming? 6. Two concerns 1. You’re going to be a different type of MBA student as a non-profit person. You might feel like a fish out of water and unable to contribute. What will you do to mitigate barriers you contribute? 2. Students sometimes mistake Career Services as a place to just choose whatever job you want and Career Services will help you get it. What kinds of efforts will you take to increase your chances of making the career pivot you'd like to make? Patti asked me what questions I had. I asked: 1. Based off of our conversation, do you have any advice for what kind of clubs or centers that I should investigate to further my career goals?
