It looks like some slots opened up on the third today, but then were quickly taken. Does anyone know how this normally works? Do they open up more slots as things fill?

Anyone from Asia-Pacific attending the Singapore Wharton cocktail event thing for TBD candidates? Also, would be interested in grabbing a drink/meal with others after the first TBD session on the 28th in Singapore. Send me a PM if keen.

What about research/info we found? Posted from my mobile device

You can bring a folder I guess. Honestly, I didn't need any of the notes I used to prep. If your proposal is not chosen, the research and info is not important. I would also shy away from over preparing because you do not want to completely dominate the conversation. The goal of the TBD is to come together and find a solution to a problem/task.

Do stronger applicants receive their interview calls earlier?

Guys, interview on Monday, any tips for the one on one? What do they normally ask in a 15min 1-on-1?

I'm attending the Singapore cocktail event and am also part of the 9:30AM TBD on the 28th. To anyone who has gone to previous TBD cocktail events - are these business formal events or should you dress a bit more casually (tie/no tie?)?

Hi all, I am a first time poster excited to be doing the TBD. Can someone who has done it or knows the answer please confirm if we are to get up and present the agreed upon idea and the end of the 35 minutes. Or do we just look to come to an agreement / time runs out? And I guess is it a flexible 35 minutes - seems a bit short.

Did my interview yesterday. The TBD is very relaxed. There is NO need to stress over this. I literally prepped my 'idea' in the five minutes before the discussion. You have 1 minute or so to present your idea, so nothing complex. The rest is just about being a friendly teammate and contributing to the ongoing conversation. If you stress about this, you are going to hurt yourself way more than help yourself. The 1 on 1 interview is VERY short. You are always asked "what role did you play in the TBD?" and then "how does that compare to the role you typically play?". Then there is room for one more question, which for me was "Why Wharton?". Keep in mind that these are with 2nd year students, so not high pressure and probably not huge influence on the admissions decision.
