I think it boils down to what parameters are important to you- in my case I really wanted to get into M7, and cost wasn’t a big consideration, so I researched online (on poetsandquants. gmatclub, by talking to other people of my background who got into M7) to decide what consultant to go with

it shouldn’t matter. It’s all about the impact you have generated in your roles.

I know that Wharton admits average 5 years of work experience, but, do they by any chance view an advanced degree similarly to work experience? I received my JD after undergrad then worked for three years. Would you recommend waiting or applying?

I have 6 years of work ex - 3 in Supply chain strategy consulting and 3 in Product Management/Product Strategy. What in your opinion is the next career goal that B-schools typically like to see in an applicant with my work ex (given I’m already in Product)......i.e. VC/Start-up/PE or something else?

Hi guys,

I’m sorry if this question has been asked already at this or other forums.

Do Indians need to appear for TOEFL?

I definitely think you should research a bit - go with consultants who have a history of getting people of your background into the schools you want. For some people (not me) timezone was also a factor. So if you’re based in India, you might want to work with consultants in India and not US based consultants for example

What are the practice areas which Wharton excels at? for eg, i have heard that some mba schools are targeted a lot by people wanting to go towards consulting, so where would wharton fall in that bucket?

Also, would it be possible to connect with you guys over linkedin or maybe a separate chat over here itself for the long run? I’d love if you could share your guidance in the future too!

They’ll consider you work ex as work ex and all your degrees as education.

Yes Toefl is not needed, however, having toefl score will give you an extra advantage over other applicants.

I am not sure if that is true. TOEFL is just a criterion to prove your efficiency in English which they check through interview, team based discussion, and GMAT Verbal score.

Yes there are multiple majors that are STEM certified.

I don’t think they’d view an advanced degree the same as work ex because they are fundamentally different. Regarding whether you should wait - do you think you’ve created meaningful impact at work or in your advance degree course? And do you think you’ve shown leadership there? If so, I would say go for it. When you become a student, you would have completed 4 years and I know people with 4 years of work ex who got in

Can you provide the link for the list of majors provided by Wharton. I am mostly interested in technology, bussiness and consulting intersection

If you’ve worked at the same firm for 5+ years, does that weaken your application compared to people who switched jobs?
