Interview lasted exactly 30 minutes and was conversational. I was asked a lot of questions in spite of the short interview duration, mostly because there were no follow-up questions. Other than the usual walk me through your resume, goals, why MBA, why Wharton, why now questions, I was also asked about my work experiences in detail (what do i like most/ least, tough teamwork experience, most significant accomplishment, time when i worked around someone, leadership style and example). The interviewer was interested what I do outside work and excluding my community involvement (activities pursued for fun). We concluded by talking about weaknesses and what other information I would like the adcom to know about me.

Interviewed with 7 other schools (comb. of M7 and T15) but Yale was the only one I didn't get an interview invite from. Sadly, i kind of wanted Yale the most for awhile, but such is life! I will find my group at another school :) congrats to those who received the SOM acceptances yesterday!

Just to add a data point, I found my application tight, essays written well, and my interview went incredibly well. Did an in-person interview however I know that my GPA and GRE were both below the average so perhaps this played the biggest role. Glad to have even made it to the waitlist with them
