Calling all Wharton 2011 Applicants

interviewed on campus with 2nd year student today as well. overall it was a pleasant and positive conversation.

the 3 questions i got were what you'd expect as far as mba admissions interviews go, and along the lines of what others have been posting: teamwork in a situation with multiple conflicts, independent pursuit of an objective when others had let it slide, and convincing team members to follow one of my ideas/proposals.

otherwise my interviewer told me a bit about her background and academic/employment path at the beginning, and i asked her some questions about classes, recruiting, and leadership ventures at the end. she provided useful answers to all 3 of my questions, and was clearly pretty happy with her decision to go to wharton.

also, for those who are applying to HCM, my interview with June was conversational and relatively painless. although she was quite frank in pointing out the strengths/weaknesses of my application, she gave me opportunities to expand on the strengths and address the weaknesses, so i felt like i got a fair shake on that front.

as a final note, wharton is known (at least by its grade-non-disclosure-era alums) for its collaborative culture, and those of us with wharton alum friends and acquaintances know that this is one of the things that makes it such a great environment. but its something everyone has to buy into in order for it to work. so any of you out there who have interviewed but are jealously guarding your experiences in the hopes of making things more difficult for your potential future classmates, that might be a sign that you don't belong. just saying

cheers to everyone who has posted their experiences and advice, and good luck to everyone with interviews in the next couple weeks! here's hoping we all get some good news on the 17th...

Had my interview with an Adcom member/Hub yesterday.

The interview lasted for 35-40 minutes. The interviewer was really nice and encouraging throughout. After talking generally for 2-3 minutes, the interviewer told me that we would have some serious questions now and that the interviewer would be writing a lot and that I shouldn't stop or get disturbed on that account. Inspite of that, the interviewer made decent eye contact and did not stop me while I spoke. I was asked three questions with follow-up questions after my initial reply to each of them.

* Tell me about a time when while working in a group, you considered the opinions of others for a task.
* Describe a time when you worked in a team without anyone overseeing your work.
* Explain a time when you persuaded others to your way of thinking, when at first they didn’t agree with your idea.

Then I was asked if I had any questions to ask the interviewer, which went on for another ten minutes.

Has anyone had the lauder interview?

so is there a place that lists all the interview questions?

Not yet...when is yours?

sorry i added my name to the excel sheet twice by accident

round 2 applicant, submitting next week, recs in just polishing up essays

To everyone interviewing with Wharton over the next couple of weeks, good luck!

Good luck! round 2 applicant here too, but still a long way to go for me.

anyone write thank you notes and receive a response?

3 thank you notes, 0 answers, 0 worries.

Will Wharton release all the final results on Dec 17 or will it start sending out rejects/admit soon after completing the interview process? This wait is excruciating!!

I'm sure you also received this email:

Hi guys,
I was dinged without an interview.
I worked with an admission consultant and IMHO crafted a pretty good application. GMAT - 740, UG - cum laude
Do you think there is any point to contact the MBA admissions office for clarification?

Thanks!

Had my interview, it was much more conversational than I thought it would be. Started off with "tell me about yourself and why Wharton." Then 3 behavioural questions, then my questions. Interviewer was 15 mins late though...

Yes I did receive that email. However, i wanted to know whether Wharton will release all its decision on Dec 17 (like they released all the interview invitation on 2 days) or are they going to keep rolling out the decision over 2 weeks (Dec 3- Dec 17)?

It clearly states ON Dec 17. By 5pm, so, literally means ON THAT DATE, but at some time during the day through 5pm.

I posted the question on the S2S forum for clarification. That line indicates the last possible time to receive a decision, but it doesn't say if you can hear before 12/17. I will post the reply when the question is answered.

I believe last year some people got calls the day/night before the deadline, but I haven't checked last year's thread.
