Feedback Sessions for Denied Applicants Looking to Reapply
Did you apply to the Wharton MBA Program this year or last and get denied? Do you plan to re-apply for the entering Fall 2007 class, but would like to understand just how your last admissions decision was reached? If so, you are eligible for a feedback session with one of our admissions officers who will review your application with you. To schedule a session, kindly contact our office at 01 (215) 898-6183 beginning the week of May 8, 2006. Sessions are conducted by telephone; appointments fill up quickly and are offered on a first come, first served basis.
In the meantime (or if you are unable to schedule a feedback session), please read the section on Preparing a Successful Application on our website for an inside view of the Admissions Committee evaluation methods.
For instructions on the reapplication process, please follow the procedures that will be included in next year's application (available online in August 2006). All reapplications will be reviewed within the context of the overall applicant pool at that time.

CommentsDear Maxim,
I think Tian Tan is dead on. You may want to visit our student2student discussion board (http://s2s.wharton.upenn.edu/wh-wharton), where you will see many postings related to your question. We will be recruiting around the world this fall; visit our website in August and find an event near you.
Cheers, Mae Jenniefer

In response to your question, I'm actually wondering the same questions myself. and this is what i found:
1. I think the most important thing to do in 4 years of college is to explore the options out there and to garner a field of experience that would be applicable to whatever you feel like you should do in the future. My mother has both a degree in business and engineering and has found that they are inextricably intertwined.
2. I've heard that business schools like students to have some experience before attending. If you get in right after graduation, kudos to you. But if you don't, reapply after a few years.
3. I think Wharton pays a lot of attention to experience, as most business schools do. The emphasis is not really that much on WHAT you learn in school as much as it is how you apply it.
Hope this helps. I'm still a long way from applying. But I feel your pain.

I'm a Finance freshman at Southwestern University of Finance and Economics in China,Sichuan,Chengdu.I have three questions about international students which is crucial for me and my classmates.
1.If a undergraduate student want to go to Warton for his graduate study,what should he do will be valuable in the 4 years' college life ?
2.Whether it's appropriate for him to go to Warton right after graduating?
3.How to enlarge the possibility of obtainning Warton's offer?What aspects do Warton pay more close attention to except the major?
