Hey guys,

Is the Healthcare MBA a part of the regular MBA or a dual degree or what exactly is it?

And how can we apply?


Hi,

This link should help you: https://hcmg.wharton.upenn.edu/programs/mba/admissions/

If it's still unclear the best way would be to shoot an email to the admission committee member.

I hope that helps!

Best Regards.

Hello

I have a question regarding Wharton application. I took GMAT this year (which I would like to be considered as my score). I also have an old GRE score (from 4 years ago, but still valid), which is low as I didn't prepare for it at all, and which I can not cancel

Wharton asks a question if I have taken GRE, it is obligatory question and if I say Yes, I must submit my scores. What if I don't want to submit my GRE results? Can I just answer No?

What is best to do in this situation? (My GMAT is a bit lower than average, I am already addressing this... Having a super low GRE on my application in addition to GMAT won't exactly be helpful + I don't want to pay $30 for ETS to send bad scores)

Thank you

I think it is OK for you to say no. Noone will verify...

I don't think answer Yes will hurt your chance, though.

If you click into View Checklist, it should say "Ready for Review" under Application Status.

Trying to get in... but I have investment banking, M&A and buy-side experience already... From what I know, the skills are transferable. I also got offers/interviews from some PE firms in my country before...

From what I know, it is a competitive pool with many people with high stats... but I can think of other goals which don't seem fake...

Looks like Wharton has, with little fanfare, eliminated the Team Based Discussion format for their interview. Quoted from an email sent to applicants:
Quote:
If you are invited for an interview, you will need to complete your interview by Friday, November 16th. Interviews will be available on-campus with second-year Wharton MBA Admissions Fellows and off-campus in various locations around the world by Admissions staff members. These locations will be announced in the coming weeks and all interview options are considered equally within the admission process.
