The TBD is one element of the admissions process that, when pieced together with your written application, helps to paint a clearer picture of who you are and how you would fit into the class. Our hope is that through a team-based discussion, you will not only be able to present how you approach and think about certain challenges and opportunities, but that you will also have a chance to experience, firsthand, the team work and learning dynamic that is central to our program.
The TBD is a 35 exercise that provides an opportunity for you to interact with fellow MBA applicants in a lively team setting. Your discussion will have a prompt and a purpose and, as a team, you will work together to achieve a tangible outcome.
TBD groups are assigned randomly. Following the TBD, you will participate in a minute one-on-one interview with a member of the admissions team regarding your interest in Wharton.
From there, you should focus on your past personal and professional experiences; think about what skills and techniques would resonate in this type of team setting.
If you are invited to interview, you will complete two interviews: one with the Lauder program and one with the MBA program. The Lauder interview will focus on your international interests and experience, personal qualities, general fit for Lauder, and ability to start and manage the two programs beginning in early May.
The HCM interview will focus on your interest in, and experience with, health care, as well as your personal qualities and general fit for HCM. Most of the top business schools like Harvard and Stanford, do not mention a minimum score for GPA requirement for admissions. However, the average GPA for both the schools is 3. That Stanford leads the list for the toughest business schools to get into is no surprise.
While earning a 4. Most are looking for students with a 3. Indeed, the average GPA of an applicant accepted into the top 20 programs is somewhere around 3. For example, a recent Stanford class had an average GPA of 3.
Answer: It could be but probably not for the top 25 MBA programs as those might ask for scores between 3. However, you could get into a lower-ranked institution as many ask between a 3.

The majority of discussions will be held on campus, but admissions officers will travel to select cities globally as well.
Wharton goes out of its way to remind applicants that there is no advantage to attending a discussion on campus or off campus, but it encourages applicants to visit campus so they can attend classes, have lunch with current students, take a campus tour, and attend an information session.
We at Veritas Prep also encourage candidates to visit the campus if they have the means to do so. How does it work? The purpose of the team-based discussion is to replicate the experience of working on teams of peers, similar to those you will be working with as a student. The discussion will have a prompt, such as a real-world business scenario, and a purpose.
Members of the team will work together toward a tangible outcome. You want to be ready, but not overly rehearsed. Last year, the prompt remained consistent in each round but evolved somewhat between rounds. After the team-based discussion, applicants have a brief, to minute discussion with a student or admissions officer. Play nice. Applicants may be tempted to view the team-based discussion as a competition with the other members of the group.
If you have a fairly aggressive personality or tend to be long-winded, we caution you not to dominate the discussion.
