Wharton Alumni Interview

spread

Just had a Wharton alumni interview in Singapore, with a nice guy graduating in 2003.

He was not prepared. It's understandable since I can see that he is quite busy. He told me that the school had sent him something but he got no time to go through.

It took him about two minutes to browse my resume and he started asking questios he was interested in. 

Typical questions I can recall:

1. Tell me something about your job. (He was quite specific since I put my job scope on my resume).

2. Your education background, how did you get here.

3. Why MBA, Why now, Why wharton. (He poped up these questions at one time!)

4. How do you see Wharton can help you?

5. How can you contribute to Wharton community?

6. You are quite young, how do you think about the opinion that people shall have enough working experience before B-school. (He had worked for 10 years before he went to Wharton). 

The interview was not formal. It seems that those questions came in just as part of our chitchat. Talk topics included world cup, China's growth, environmental impact of industrialization etc.

-P.S. He told me he'd been Beijing twice in Chinese. "Wo qu guo Beijin Liang Ci". He also knew some other words like "Xie Xie", "Yi dian dian", "Zai Jian".

Nice talk with him for about 45 mins.

Wish everybody good luck.

I think I'm in no position to answer this question.

Obviously, the higher the better. B-schools always say that they have no cut-off line for GMAT, but I think they might have a second thought if the score is lower than 650.

Good luck.

As far as I know, Wharton interview quite a number of candidates every year and only less than half of those who are invited to interview can get admission.

My background may not be representative before the decision is released.
