Like everyone else, I had a team based discussion over Zoom with 5 other candidates and 2 second-year admissions fellows. We were let into the Zoom meeting roughly 5 minutes before the start time and had a bit of small talk/chatter before the admissions fellows got us started. They laid out the instructions and format then let us kick off the next 35 minutes. We wrapped up our discussion & presentation by the end of the 35 minute mark. The admissions fellows then shared that we would do a 1-on-1 interview, each of them taking 3 applicants and they showed the order in which they would conduct them. I was first with my interviewer and we were in a separate breakout room. She asked “Why MBA and why Wharton?” then let me ask questions the rest of the time. She said after we completed that I would be free leave the Zoom meeting. Decisions will be posted via portal Dec 15th.
