If you're considering applying to Wharton's MBA program, you need to know all the deadlines you need to meet if you want your application to be successful.

The University of Pennsylvania has announced the 2022–2023 Wharton MBA application deadlines for candidates aiming for the Class of 2025.

Wharton MBA Deadline

The world's top 7 business schools make up the M7 group. Even though these institutions don't have a formal collaborative program, they share knowledge. Deans, Vice Deans, and other title holders from these schools gather twice a year to exchange knowledge and experiences.

The Wharton School of Business offers a wide variety of MBA programs, while most business schools only provide a few, such as full-time, two-year MBA programs, executive MBA programs, or online MBA programs. Wharton offers various programs, including joint degree programs with other University of Pennsylvania institutions and Wharton degree programs.

The choices Wharton offers to applicants who want to pursue an MBA are listed below.

            The Application Requirements

In July 2022, applications for the Wharton MBA will become available. A complete application to Wharton consists of background information provided through the school's online application data forms, a $275 application fee, responses to two essay questions, transcripts of undergraduate and graduate coursework (if applicable), two letters of recommendation addressing the applicants' performance in the workplace, GMAT or GRE scores, and a one-page resume.

The admissions committee notes that up until the 2022–2023 academic year, at-home GMAT and GRE scores will be accepted. Unless they have a bachelor's degree from a college or university where English is the primary language of instruction, non-native English speakers must also submit TOEFL or PTE scores.

With 19 majors and nearly 200 electives to choose from, the MBA program at Wharton is incredibly flexible, allowing students to design their own curriculum based on their interests, goals, and prior knowledge.
