Wharton Interview in LA

XUANYA2005

I just interviewed with Wharton alumni in LA area in his office after work.

Very casual start with what I am doing now, then why MBA, what other schools I applied, and off course why Wharton, then I talked about my Phily trip. In between we discussed a lot about transportation development which I am looking for after MBA, some issues in USA, in California area, then some alumnus I got to know during application process and he knows most of them. At the end, he gave me the chance to ask questions, so “what’s his experience of Wharton MBA” is easy. Total about 40 minutes, lots of casual talk, lots of smiles, I am the one who was trying to answer some questions in between.

No leadership, no strengths and weakness, no any challenging question, although I prepared all three examples for each of these. I hope he won’t have problems to fill out the evaluation form.

Since I am not sure how I did for the strange and pleasant interview, my advice so far is to know what you are going to get out of MBA, and convince them that MBA is the only way to fulfill your next step.

Now the thing I can to do is wait and check email at November 21st.

Good luck to everybody.

I'm actually very interested in infrastructure funds as well and wrote about social infrastructure in my essays.  Let's talk about it after we get the admissions.  Good luck.
