I am very interested in Wharton’s MBA program and the MBA/MA in International Studies.Can anyone tell me more about the program as a current student or alumni ?
­

Hi,

The best way to learn about any MBA program is to reach out to students and recent alumni on LinkedIn. You can also approach them through b-school websites - look out for admissions ambassadors and club position holders - who can be the best resources to reach out to.

Apologies for a dumb question; how does the word count limit work for in Wharton? I heard it can’t be over even by 1 word. Is that true? Also different softwares give different word counts like MS word and google docs word count differs by 4-5 words. (I guess due to words with hyphen) How does it work in final application?

That ain’t a dumb question. If anything, it now got me curious too. I don’t know the answer, but guess never hurts to leave 5-6 words as a buffer

that’s right ^ it can’t be over. and for hyphens, Wharton counted them as 2 words. e.g., "fast-moving" = 2 words

Wharton mentions that interview invitations will be released October 24. However, for program specific interview (e.g., HCM or Lauder Institute), when are those interviews invitations usually released?

My GMAT Focus score was 655 (equivalent to 710 in the old format), and I took the exam online. Currently, I have 2.5 years of experience, and by July 2025, I will have 3 years of experience. Please recommend which top colleges in the US I should apply to.
Going by the user name I believe you are Indian- ORM pool so I’d say T20-t25 usnews

But also depends on the goals coz Georgetown could be a good finance school while tepper and Scheller could be better for Tech.

Thanks for the insights! Based on my profile, do you think I should try for T10-T20 schools in the US News rankings, or would it be more realistic to focus on T20-T25?

Thank you so much 👍 - i’ll check it out to compare what’s new. Did they release the application volume numbers? Harvard had like 20 or 25% year-over-year increase but my guess it will a lot of it was driven by free applications and fee waivers
