By the way, let me chime in with my own two cents regarding hub interview, on campus interview vs. alumni interview.

Although I have had much experience of going around campus doing interviews with adcom, I think that alumnia interview would provide some of you guys with much better chance of "getting connected" and "getting personal" with interviewers.

Back in 2004, I had an interview with Judith Silverman via a hub interiew in Seoul, Korea, and I got the feeling that she was awfully tired and she wanted to get the things to end as soon as possible.

The interview itself was very formal, structured (perhaps too structured), and there was no any room for me to get comfortable. While I did expect the interview to be formal and precise, I at the same time expected both of us to get comfortable with each, which was not the case.

Contrary to the hub interview or on campus interview, I have heard many cases of downright friendly alumni interview. It was often that I heard those "an hour long friendly conversation" interviews with alumni who actually demonstrated genuine interest in getting to know applicants on a personal basis.

If you ask me, I would say go for the alumni interview.

You guys are not applying to one of those small schools, like Tuck. You guys applying to Wharton, one of the bigger MBA school in terms of student body, and if you are going for hub or oncampus interview ONLY to impress adcom by actually taking time to address issues face to face, I really believe that it is not worth the "risk".

Just my two cents.

Good luck to you guys.

There are still 2 weeks, 3 hours, and 25ish minutes until the deadline. While they said they will start sending out invites on the 17th of January, the first posted invite on s2s was just 8 days ago. I'm still keeping my hopes up. 8-)

Just wanted to let you guys know, someone on s2s posted that they did not receive an e-mail but they logged on to their status page for the heck of it and it had an update that they were invited for an interview. So if you haven't checked your status since you submitted, it might not be a bad idea to do so.

Congrats...here's my take on the different interview types. I was given the option of a HUB or alumnus interview in Bangalore...the major problem was that the alumnus offered really came across when I saw him at the info session. IF you can find out a lot of information about the alumnus and ensure that he/she is a nice person then go with the alumni interview. IMO it's better to interview with a member of the committee because they will be the one's who actually decide your fate. Interviewer fatigue is a big problem, in a HUB interview whomever is interviewing you will also be interviewing 9-12 other candidates during the day. So if you can, pick the early slot...first thing in the morning is always good because you immediately stand out. The interviews are under a fairly strict 30-35 min. limit and the questions are standard...resume, why are you at your current position, describe your duties, education, why mba & wharton (really sell this), long term short term and for me that was about it. So you really have to go out of your way to be engaging and not provide hashed answers...sell yourself and be very personable. In the end both options are good, but as my HUB interviewer told me, alumni have a tendency to project themselves onto applicants...ex) if you want to major in entrepreneurship and your interviewer is an entrepreneur he/she is going to ask more pointed questions and may be a bit more critical.
