nice to hear that. You’ll have to mention specific resources which will help you grow your company and how you’re going to utilize those resources.
Thanks Ankush. So researching would better help me

From what I know dual degrees

Are even harder !

U need separate essays for those as well
But Wharton will consider you for both the normal MBA as well as dual degree so no worries in that front

While applying for Wharton, i will be having >2 years of work experience. Previously worked with a boutique consulting firm where i have also delivered trainings and was a top performer, and going forward i would be working with a big 4 firm. I also have highly quantifiable social impact experience. What areas on my profile should i focus on to make my case?
Ensure you’re able to show quantitative impact for these work experiences. Work on other areas of your profile like non-profit, GMAT, and Ecs.

I think you should definitely talk more about how and why you were the top performer (ex: you doubled revenue/you streamlined operations etc.), you should also explain why those trainings were important (did those trainings help people get promoted/improve the efficiency of the team - basically why should Wharton care about this?)

There are a lot of counselling/consulting services available with price ranging from 2000$ to 10000$. How did the students who made it Wharton decide which counsellor to go with ? What parameters did you use? Also how many colleges do you think one should apply to?

There’s no well-written truth to this. You’ll have to work on each application independently and get admission but I think it has some advantage (but not enough to make or break your case)

Regarding social work, again, what kind of social work you did, why is it important to you and what kind of impact you created (ex: delivering medicines to 100 underprivileged households to mobilize healthcare) is important to show.

Hi. The prizes are assigned randomly by the end of the ZOom session, and that’s when this chat session starts.... so it is over unfortunately 😢
I mean the link to enter the draw. I didn’t see it in the Wharton zoom session. I asked if it was shared earlier but it wasn’t reshared

i dont think it should it impact your application as long as you can talk about the experience gained irrespective.

I’ll suggest to better wait for 3-4 years before applying. An MBA without work-ex wont make it much fruitful for you even if u get i.
