The simple answer is yes -- we worked with a woman last year who was awarded one with her acceptance to Wharton. It is a very competitive program but if you are awarded one, it comes with great prestige. Also, her credentials were very impressive and she worked the system hard to get this award. Good luck.

Thanks Kimberly, I was just browsing online and read from a Tepper MBA blog that almost all her female classmates were awarded this fellowship.

Hi guys, I was awarded this Fellowship as part of one of my offers and I checked out the website - it looks like it is a great network for women but I'm not sure how exclusive it is. It appears that any female professional can pay a membership fee of $25 per year to be a member, whether or not they are in an MBA program. Perhaps the Forte Fellowships that are within a B School network are more prestigious (possibly the way a certain sorority's chapter has more standing on one campus than another even though it's the same national organization) but my general sense is, although it of course an honor to be awarded any special recognition in this already competitive process, you can still find ways to be involved even if you don't get it as part of your acceptance.

Yes. There are Forte fellows at most top business schools.

Kimberly Plaga Senior Admissions Consultant Manhattan ReviewCall for a free candidacy assessment. Could you explain "worked the system hard"? My understanding was that these were chosen by the school same as other scholarships. I know a classmate that was one, she came from a male dominated industry, though I don't know if that had anything to do with it, but would suspect this was a theme in apps.
