Looking Ahead: Applying for Admission in Fall 2009

As we approach the end of this year's admissions season, we know that many candidates are beginning to think about applying to Wharton for admission in Fall 2009.  We very much appreciate your interest in the School, and we look forward to sharing with you our curriculum, community and culture.

Getting to Know Wharton

There are a variety of ways to get to know Wharton, including through our website, at our events around the world and by visiting campus.  Our events include general and diversity-targeted receptions, MBA fairs, student and alumni coffee chats, meet-and-greets, and online chats, to name a few.  Over the summer, we will begin to post details about events at which Wharton MBA Admissions staff, alumni or current students will be present this fall and winter.  Our event calendar is continually updated, so please check back periodically to find out when Wharton will be in your city. 

For those applicants interested in visiting Wharton, we host visitors every day that the office is open and offer an information session given by an admissions officer.  In the fall, once classes are back in session, we allow applicants to experience Wharton further by attending a class, having lunch with current students and taking a campus tour.

Fall 2009 Application

Our application will be available online for Fall 2009 applications by late summer.  However, we will post our application deadlines, as well as this year's essay questions, right here on our blog before the application goes live (generally, by mid-summer). 

For those applicants eager to learn more about the MBA degree now, or to start preparing for the application process, we encourage you to check out the information about making the MBA decision and preparing a successful application on our website.  You may also be interested in visiting our student2student discussion board, on which current Wharton students, alumni and admissions officers answer questions from applicants (as well as dispel myths!) about Wharton and the admissions process.

Again, thank you for your interest in Wharton, and we look forward to reading your application.

Feedback Sessions Now Full!

Feedback sessions for Wharton MBA applicants denied within the last two years who plan to re-apply for the entering Fall 2008 class are now full.  Thanks to a full cadre of staff dedicated to manning the phones and scheduling appointments, our office was able to handle the high volume of requests in record time.

If you were unable to schedule a feedback session, don't worry. There are alternative and equally effective means of enhancing your candidacy for a future application. Ignore the myth mill, particularly with regard to the following two items:

Myth #1: If I was unable to schedule a feedback session and reapply, I will be penalized in the evaluation process.

Truth: All reapplicants are given equal consideration in the admissions process. Since we are able to offer a limited number of feedback sessions on a first come, first served basis, we do not penalize individuals who are unable to schedule a feedback session. Both groups do well and are admitted yearly as they have successfully enhanced their candidacy – either through active measures or deeper reflection on their reasons for pursuing an MBA and goals going forward.

Myth #2:  A feedback session is the only way to enhance my candidacy and the chances of being admitted.

Truth: There is no best means of improving one’s chances of admission. In addition to feedback, there are multiple other sources which are as effective. One of these is the Wharton MBA website, which has extensive information about the application evaluation process, including our student2student (s2) discussion board and the MBA Admissions Blog! Of particular interest is the section on Preparing a Successful Application.  

Other avenues for reapplicant preparation include visiting us on campus, at an MBA World Tour event, or one of our more than 70 receptions around the world.  Information about these events will be posted on our website in early August.               

               

And don’t forget your friends, former classmates, colleagues, neighbors – anyone who has earned an MBA or worked with people who have! Listen to their experiences and lessons.

Wharton Welcome Weekend a Model of Co-Production

More than 600 admitted students and partners attended the MBA Program's annual Wharton Welcome Weekend (WWW) this past week. Attendees were introduced to the Wharton community through a host of activities, including a mock class, academic overview, career services workshop, student club expo, International Cultural Show, Follies, and a dinner at the Academy of Natural Sciences.

Carol Chu, Associate Director of MBA Admissions & Financial Aid, worked tirelessly with three student co-chairs (Sarah Hammer, Archana Ravichandran, and Bernardo Villanueva) to create what many have described as the best WWW event ever. This is quite an accomplishment given the historically high praise admits give to Wharton's admit weekends.

The success of this year's WWW was most aptly described in a quote from an attendee:

This was a great event organized at great school by great people. I think that whatever [the] doubts ... of the newly admits... [that] after the WWW all those doubts should either vanish completely or diminish to at least 0.0000000000001%. One of the most impressing things is that the school's management took a very active part in organizing the event, including acting at Follies :)
