As many of you approach the interview process at Wharton, we wanted to share a handful of questions that are likely to come up in the actual interview. Keep in mind that Wharton conducts ‘blind’, somewhat improvisational interviews. This means that there is no set script that the interviewer is following. It also means that the interviewer has only viewed your resume, not your application.
The sample questions below come from three sources: a) our experiences working in the Wharton admissions office, b) recent discussions with Wharton admissions staff and c) historic data from the hundreds of Clear Admit clients who have interviewed with Wharton over the last few seasons.
-”Walk me through your post-undergraduate work experience and describe transitions you’ve made.”
-”What do you think makes an effective manager?”
-”What are some of the frustrations/rewards you’ve experienced as a manager?”
-”How do you operate in a team?”
-”Describe your ideal work environment.”
-”Tell me about the person with whom you have least enjoyed working. How did this relationship function?”
-”What are your plans upon graduation from the MBA?”
-”What are your plans if you’re not accepted into an MBA program of your choice?”
-”If you suddenly had an afternoon off, what would you do with it?”
