<p>So I have a quick questions for those that have already had their UPenn interview. </p>
<ol>
<li><p>What did you wear? Iam thinking business casual since a suit might seem overkill for a meeting at Starbucks.</p></li>
<li><p>The interviewer asked me to bring a resume, the thing is my resume right now was tailored for my teachers for the recommendations. So the thing is what exactly should I put on my resume? Class Rank, Test Scores, Classes Taken, Extra Curriculars, and what else?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I think that’s enough for your resume. They’re not really supposed to ask about grades and test scores, since those are already on your application. My interviewer mostly asked about my extracurriculars, my academic interests, why Penn, etc. So the most important thing for your resume should be your extracurriculars, and maybe major academic achievements/interests that could spark a conversation.
The dress code is semi-formal. I wore a dress with a collared jacket and my interviewer wore a collared shirt. A suit would be overkill, especially at Starbucks.</p>

<p>I would wear a jacket on y collared shirt cause its cold here in Nebraska, but both my jackets need to be dry cleaned as I wore them last week to a seminar… It is too short of a notice to have them cleaned so I guess a collared shirt and pants it is. I don’t know whether the interviewer was a Wharton graduate or not. All my accomplishments have to do with the finance sector so if he is not a Wharton graduate then I don’t want to bore him.</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter if he’s from Wharton or not. If you’re applying to Wharton, you should definitely talk about your finance accomplishments, since that’s what will help your application the most!</p>
<p>@mokarney: I agree with OdetteRose. You should give your interviewer the benefit of the doubt. UPenn students and grads from other schools are usually curious people, and they’ll be more than happy to hear about whatever interests you, finance or otherwise…just as I wouldn’t be quick to presume that a Whartonite is not interested or knowledgeable in music, or poetry, or history, or biology or whatever.</p>
<p>As for dress, I’m an interviewer (though on the younger side) for a peer school. I think a shirt with pants is fine. Esp since the location is a Starbucks on a Sunday. I probably wouldn’t notice (or care) if an interviewee wore a shirt tucked into a nice pair of jeans. Just don’t wear dirty sneakers or something.</p>
