Hopefully someone can save me 10 minutes of internet surfing...is there a seperate application to fill out for Wharton scholarships? Assume I am not applying for anything special (military, minority, etc), but want to be considered for general scholarships. Thanks.

extra credit: do HBS and Booth have a similar process?

According to the Wharton website:

"All admitted students are considered for fellowships, and no separate fellowship application is required. Each year fellowships are awarded to incoming students from myriad backgrounds."

HBS does only merit based fellowships for the most part...there are some specific grants targeted to specific ethnic groups and such (i know this cause i was going to apply for a Canadian only fellowship HBS has if I ended up matriculating there).

Anything outside of Wharton will obviously require a separate application (i.e. if you want to get money from XYZ organization to put you through school).

Congratulations to all the R1 Admits...and all the very best to the waitlisters!

Does anyone have any clue when they'll start reviewing R2 apps? Is it after holidays?

Thanks!

Not sure what you're talking about. I filled out enrollment form and didn't need a 9 digit number (other then my ss#). Where are you seeing that?

Gents,

Do I need to send Wharton my official transcripts or anything in a paper mode?
I thought they need only on-line documents... no?

They don't ask for official transcript until you enroll. During application, unofficial or self-reported transcript is fine. It should be scanned in and uploaded through the apply yourself website.

Thanks. My transcripts are not in English - just another language.

According to you, I should:
1). Calculate my score and self-report it.
2). Scan transcripts and upload through apply-yourself website, right?

But will they understand my transcripts with another language?

That I'm not sure about. I'm sure they deal with transcripts in other languages all the time, but I would either call them or else I defer to someone on this thread who has submitted a foreign language transcript.

I did translate my transcripts. It is not said somewhere in the application form?

You can ask the AdCom, but probably they are in the Bahamas at this moment.

Is that your student ID number? I'm an international student but I haven't received the 9 digit number, although I do have a social security number. However, I got a link to where I can start the visa processing but I need the 9 digit student ID number for that which I don't have yet. When did you receive yours?

From Wharton's website: https://www.wharton.upenn.edu/mba/admissions/international-applicants.cfm

Quote:
If academic records and diplomas are not issued in English by the institution, submit both the official record and an authorized English translation.

So we must provide a translation of the transcripts. I guess that for self-reported transcripts we can do the translation ourselves. Only when the school will request the real papers, then an official translator must do the work.

Staind, I just used my SSN and it worked. They probably only send it to you if you don't have a SSN.
