Caree Goal
- He didnt even ask why wharton but through conversation i have shared several examples i interacted with wharton current students/alumni. i shared the similar wharton community culture i observed: humble/confident....( maybe he felt i hv done many actions to know abt the schools)

3 words my colleagues/client/boss describe me

Overall:
- Do talk ur career goals before why MBA
- in walking through resume/career, remember talk about why u changed the job/functions and what u want to achieve in next job and tell them the "linkage" and "logics" behind the bullet points on resume.
- Practice/practice/practice

Well, I think it's better to share more experiences only after I really got the offer"s" to not to mislead you guys =)

Keep finger crossed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cheers,
