REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
The Wharton MBA program has the deepest curriculum I could think off in finance. Moreover, the school provides training and access to all the top wall street courses to help folks from non-finance transition to finance.
In terms of visibility from employers, banking, consulting and investing are all hot on recruiting. If you network well with the employer, put in the right effort, and do all your prep thoroughly - I don’t think there's much stopping you from getting your dream job. Obviously, things have been a bit harder this year, but even then, relatively its much stronger than other schools.
Overall, I’d say if you want to pivot to banking or investing (PE/HF/Long Only Investing), you have the best resources in terms of clubs and classes to make this happen for you, and have all the top employers you would imagine coming on campus to hire you.
For me, the school helped me meet the needs to transition to an investing role (at least for summer) in the US.
As a future applicant, I’d say focus on displaying your quantitative aptitude. For what its worth people are very sharp, and you want to showcase yourself to be up there and do enough research to get to know the school and resources. I am six months in and still learning more about Penn and the offerings of the MBA program. Speak to enough people and get a good sense of how you want to spend your time here.
