Welcome back to From the MBA Interview Archives, where we highlight the most in-depth and insightful MBA interview reports submitted to the Clear Admit Archive!
You still have some time to earn a $10 Amazon Gift for submitting a Wharton, INSEAD, Ross, Stern and MIT Sloan Interview Report. The eligibility deadline is tomorrow (Sunday, December 20, 2015) at 11:59PM EST. See eligibility requirements at the end of this post.
The following is an excerpt from a Wharton Interview Report we received this week:
“We began with our pitches. I volunteered to go first and gave a very concise and clear 55 second pitch. Others followed suit. I will say it was noticeable who had prepared as some pitches went on well past a minute and were less concrete. After that, someone volunteered to provide timing and structure to the discussion. It then took us a long time to come up with our idea. ”
“I was second and met with the second-year student for 10 minutes. It went by in a flash. The interviewer asked “how did the exercise go?”. I used that time to discuss my role during the exercise compared with how I usually am on teams. I provided examples of myself as both a leader and a follower.”

Every month, you’ll have a chance to win a $100 Amazon Gift Card, just by sharing your interview experience. For Round 2, we will also award a $75 Amazon Gift Card to one random, lucky winner. In other words, the more reports you submit, the better your chances!
