I go to wharton, majoring economics. I know for sure valuation, accounting, etc will be asked but no idea what kind of real estate questions will be thrown my way.

jesus christ, it was sarcasm. i can tell by your username (whartoncompsci). i'm sure you are already well prepared, i think there might be a vault guide on this. if i find it, i'll pm you. when s the interview? also just mainly know your resume and be able to tell it in a nice flowing narrative story that leads you to the ending of joining this firm. they expect you to know what's on your res, not what isn't.

Thanks.
