This interview was a team-based discussion with 5 other applicants over Zoom. We arrived 10 mins before the beginning of the interview to meet each other and learn a bit about our backgrounds. After that, we began the team-based discussion. The prompt was to come up with a proposal for a new social impact community at Wharton. We each presented an idea for one minute, discussed for 25 minutes, and then presented to the adcom for 5 minutes. After this, we waited in the main Zoom room while each person was called into a breakout with the adcom for a 10 min 1-on-1 reflection. The adcom asked what my biggest takeaway from the team discussion was, a time something didn’t go my way and how I handled it, and what my leadership style is. I was then given enough time to ask one question of my own. Overall, it was a positive experience. One person in our team discussion had significant technical difficulties, which definitely affected the flow of our team’s discussion, so my advice would just be to be prepared for anything and remain flexible.
