If you received an invitation to interview from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School as part of Round 2, don’t forget that all interviews must be completed by March 5th. That’s next Friday. So if you haven’t scheduled your interview yet, get cracking! And if you’ve tried but are having trouble, Wharton’s MBA Admissions & Financial Aid Team urges you to contact its office for help.
Some applicants have had questions about the various types of interviews that can be scheduled. At Wharton, you can choose to schedule an on-campus interview, a hub interview or an alumni interview. All interviews are weighted equally, and applicants are encouraged to choose based on whatever is most convenient for them.
As to the difference between hub and alumni interviews, hub interviews take place at a fixed time in any of a number of hub locations, whereas alumni interviews can be scheduled for whatever time and place is mutually convenient for interviewee and interviewer. Hub interviews are generally conducted by members of the admissions committee, but in times of high demand, alumni may well conduct these interviews as well.
Of course, if you haven’t scheduled your interview yet, many slots will already be taken and you’ll need to settle for whatever’s still available. But again, if you are having trouble scheduling an interview for any reason, contact the MBA Admissions Office right away and a member of the admissions team can help you set one up.
If you’ve scheduled your interview and want to know how best to prepare for it, don’t miss the Clear Admit Wharton School Interview Guide, which includes Wharton-specific interview strategies, first-hand accounts from prior applicants and dozens of sample questions that are regularly asked as part of the Wharton interview.
