Work Experience
How much work experience do most accepted students have? Is there a particular type of work experience Wharton seeks?
The average student has worked for five or six years between college and the MBA program。
The program does accept early career candidates with limited or no experience who exhibit strong managerial and professional potential。
The Admissions Committee looks for individuals who exhibit professional maturity。 In other words, we evaluate work experience not in terms of years but the depth and breadth of an individual's position, his or her contributions to the work environment, and level of responsibility and progression。
Wharton looks for diversity in the professional backgrounds of its admitted students just as it does in all other parts of our applicants' profiles。
No one industry is favored over another, and experience in a Fortune 500 company does not have higher value than experience in a small business or public institution。
Does graduate education count as work experience?
While we recognize the value of graduate academic work, we do not count academic work towards professional work experience。
Does time spent in the military count as work experience?
Absolutely。 The service provides many rich and varied opportunities for professional growth and development。
Military candidates are evaluated based on the same criteria as other candidates, including the nature and scope of the work, the skill sets required, work progression, and general leadership and management skills developed。
I am still an undergraduate student。 Any advice about what I can do to increase my chances for admission?
We welcome applicants directly from undergraduate programs who are motivated and exhibit strong leadership and managerial potential。
In preparation for the Wharton MBA program one thing to consider is that the stronger your quantitative background, the better prepared you will be to take finance, statistics, accounting, economics, and other quantitative courses offered in our curriculum。
For example, calculus and/or statistics are good foundation courses。 We do accept students without this type of background, but we like to see evidence of a capacity to handle these types of topics (e。
g。, strong quantitative GMAT scores, strong academic performance in quantitative subjects)。 We are also interested in your history of involvement in extra-curricular activities, community service, and hobbies。
We find that candidates with less years of work experience are better positioned to contribute and engage more in the Wharton community。
We advise undergraduates to apply in the Fall prior to the academic year in which they want to enroll in the program。
Admission to the program is contingent upon successful completion of the undergraduate degree。 We do not offer deferred admissions for those applying while still in an undergraduate program。
I have less than your average of four years of work experience。 Will this place me at a disadvantage in the admissions process?
Each year we welcome a number of early career candidates (individuals with 0-3 years of professional work experience) into our program。
The incoming class for Fall 2011 is 26% early career candidates。 We are more interested in the skills you have acquired to date, including leadership and management opportunities, than the number of years you have been in the work force。
We consider not only the skills you have demonstrated to date but also your future potential。
Is an applicant at a disadvantage without previous course work in business?
No。
Many students at Wharton have not had business courses prior to entering the program。 Generally, 40% of our class is made up of people with liberal arts backgrounds。
Pre-term offers incoming students an opportunity to "brush up" on their quantitative skills before classes begin。
Candidates are also encouraged to complete introductory courses in calculus and statistics prior to entrance, since much of the course work requires quantitative skills。
