Calling all Wharton Applicants: (2018 Intake) Class of 2020!

Hey! Just sent you a PM about this.

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.

Should have room for 1 more if anyone wants to shoot me a PM!

Yes I can be available.

Anyone available for a mock tbd tomorrow Feb 19th

Anyone available for a mock tbd tomorrow Feb 22nd/23rd in NYC? Please send me a DM and i can organize

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.

How are mock TBDs going on folks? Do share your experience and takeaways with us in this discussion. Thank you!

Anybody available for Mock on Feb 21, 22, 23 (22:00JST) or 24(15:00JST-)?

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.

Thank you jeromemorrow for sharing your positive experience. All the very best and we hope you get into your dream bschool. Cheers!

We would love to hear everyone's interview experience as it will really benefit our fellow GMATCLUBers. Thanks!!

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!
