Wharton Interview Prep (TBD, 1:1, Lauder, HCM)
We can use this time to prepare you for both parts of the Wharton interview: the Team-Based Discussion and the one-on-one. I ran both for applicants as a Wharton Admissions Fellow. I also interviewed Lauder (dual-degree MA program) candidates. In our time together, we can walk through how the TBD works, tighten your opening pitch, plan how you'll show up in the group, practice for the 1:1, or anything else on your mind. If you're interviewing for Lauder or HCM (in addition to the Wharton TBD and 1:1), we can spend time preparing for those interviews as well.
What's included
- A pitch you've practiced out loud
- A plan for the group discussion
- Answers you can give without a script

Tyler W.
Wharton MBA/Lauder MA | Former Admissions Interviewer | Consultant + Coach
I’m Tyler, a Wharton MBA and Lauder MA alum who’s spent more than a decade in strategy consulting across travel, health, and hospitality, launching new ventures and bringing new products to market. I’m a Texan native and Austin-based now, but I’ve also lived and worked across both coasts and spent time on all seven continents before turning 30, including stints in Ghana, Argentina, Mongolia, and even Antarctica. I’ve always chased experiences that push me out of my comfort zone. Whether you’re aiming for your dream MBA program, exploring dual degrees, or just trying to make sense of your path, I’d love to help. I especially enjoy working with messy, nonlinear stories. I’m a believer that substance beats polish when telling your story. You don’t need a perfect story. You just need to understand your own story and learn how to tell it with clarity and conviction. When I’m not coaching or working, I’m usually hiking with my pup, throwing pottery at my local ceramics studio, practicing Portuguese, grabbing a Belgian beer, or enjoying live music.
