(500 words) Wharton at MBA Spotlight 2026: Key Takeaways Here are the key insights shared during Wharton student's MBA Spotlight 2026 session. Program Highlights Wharton offers a distinctive AI for Business major, which is uncommon among top business schools. The major includes courses such as Applied Machine Learning in Business and Enabling Technologies. Professor Kartik Hosanagar was highlighted as one of the renowned faculty members associated with the program. Wharton also offers a Semester in San Francisco, allowing students to immerse themselves in the tech hub while taking classes and exploring internships. Co-Curricular Activities Wharton has a strong co-curricular ecosystem for students interested in technology, entrepreneurship, and product roles. The AI Product Manager Training program allows students to develop tech products in teams. The Venture Lab serves as an accelerator for students interested in entrepreneurship, offering resources, mentorship, and access to experienced faculty and investors. Application & Admissions The Wharton application includes two essays and a Team-Based Discussion. The Team-Based Discussion typically involves a group of five to six candidates discussing a given topic, moderated by an admissions committee member. Applicants should aim to be participative, build on others’ ideas, and avoid interrupting. The session emphasised that applicants should have a clear but flexible career vision while applying. Scholarships & Funding Wharton offers merit-based scholarships, with awards typically covering up to 50% of tuition. Scholarship decisions are influenced by the overall quality of the application, including essays and performance in the Team-Based Discussion. Additional funding opportunities may include teaching assistantships and internships, which can provide meaningful financial support. Careers & Outcomes Wharton is strong in consulting, investment banking, and technology recruiting. Approximately 25-30% of graduates enter investment banking. Around 20-25% pursue consulting. Around 15-20% pursue technology roles. The career services team provides extensive support, including a portal that aggregates job listings and interview preparation resources. Networking & Alumni Wharton has a strong global alumni network. Active alumni clubs exist in major cities, including Mumbai and Delhi. The school provides a portal for connecting with alumni, supporting networking and mentorship across industries. Advice from the Session Applicants should present a clear career vision, while still showing flexibility and self-awareness. A technical background can help for tech roles, especially product management, but non-technical candidates can also succeed with adequate preparation. For the Team-Based Discussion, focus on collaboration, contribution, and listening, not just speaking the most.

The website you register for the test gives you two free practice tests. You can actually reset them and they will give you new questions from the question bank. I like them because they’re computer adaptive (difficulty changes like real test). But after three times, you start seeing repetitive questions.

how to reset?

I don't think there's reset button for Official Practice Exam 1 & 2. One can just start the mock test fresh by clicking the 'Start Test' button.

Looking forward to a great cycle together. Let's do this!
