Understandably, Wharton applicants get anxious about this atypical interview, because the approach creates a very different dynamic from what one usually encounters in a one-on-one meeting—and with other applicants also in the room, one cannot help but feel less in control of the content and direction of the conversation. Yet despite the uncertainty, here are a few things that Wharton team-based discussion interviewees can expect:</span><span id="more-14898"></span></p> <p>1. You will need to arrive at the interview with an idea—a response to a challenge that will be presented in your interview invitation.</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">2. Having the best idea is much less important than how you interact with others in the group and communicate your thoughts. So while you should prepare an idea ahead of time, that is only part of what you will be evaluated on.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">3. Your peers will have prepared their ideas as well. Chances are that ideas will be raised that you know little or nothing about. Do not worry! The admissions committee members are not measuring your topical expertise. Instead, they want to see how you add to the collective output of the team.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">4. After the team-based discussion, you will have a short one-on-one session with someone representing Wharton’s admissions team. More than likely, you will be asked to reflect on how the Wharton team-based discussion went for you; this will require self-awareness on your part.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To give candidates the opportunity to undergo a realistic test run before experiencing the actual event, we created our </span><a href="https://shop.mbamission.com/products/wharton-team-based-discussion-simulation" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b>Wharton Team-Based Discussion Simulation</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Via this simulation, applicants participate anonymously with three to five other MBA candidates in an online conversation, which is moderated by two of our experienced Senior Consultants familiar with Wharton’s format and approach. All participants then receive feedback on their performance, with special focus on their interpersonal skills and communication abilities. The simulation builds confidence by highlighting your role in a team, examining how you communicate your ideas to—and within—a group of (equally talented) peers, and discovering how you react when you are thrown “in the deep end” and have to swim. Our Wharton Team-Based Discussion Simulation allows you to test the experience so you are ready for the real thing!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 2017 Wharton Team-Based Discussion Simulation Round 1 schedule is as follows:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><b>Group A: Saturday, November 4 at 11:00 a.m. ET </b></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><b>Group B: Saturday, November 4 at 2:00 p.m. ET </b></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><b>Group C: Sunday, November 5 at 1:00 p.m. ET </b></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><b>Group D: Monday, November 6 at 6:00 p.m. ET </b></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><b>Group E: Monday, November 6 at 9:00 p.m. ET </b></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><b>Group F: Tuesday, November 7 at 6:00 p.m. ET </b></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><b>Group G: Tuesday, November 7 at 9:00 p.m. ET </b></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><b>Group H: Wednesday, November 8 at 6:00 p.m. ET </b></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><b>Group I: Thursday, November 9 at 6:00 p.m. ET </b></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><b>Group J: Saturday, November 11 at 11:00 a.m. ET </b></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><b>Group K: Saturday, November 11 at 2:00 p.m. ET </b></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><b>Group L: Sunday, November 12 at 11:00 a.m. ET </b></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><b>Group M: Monday, November 13 at 9:00 p.m. ET </b></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><b><b>Group N: Tuesday, November 14 at 9:00 p.m. ET ?</b></b></li> </ul> <hr /> <p><strong><i>To learn more or sign up for a session, visit our</i> <a href="https://shop.mbamission.com/products/wharton-team-based-discussion-simulation" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><i>Wharton Team-Based Discussion Simulation page</i></a><i>.</i></strong></p> <hr /> <p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-13225 alignleft" src="https://cdn2.manhattanprep.com/gmat/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2017/02/logo-150x150.png" alt="mbaMission logo" width="150" height="150" /><a href="http://www.mbamission.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b><i>mbaMission</i></b></a><b><i> is the leader in MBA admissions consulting with a full-time and comprehensively trained staff of consultants</i></b><i>, all with profound communications and MBA experience. mbaMission has helped thousands of candidates fulfill their dream of attending prominent MBA programs around the world.
