Hi GMAT Club Peers,
Trader at Investment Bank looking to enroll in Wharton EMBA. I’m looking for a gauge of my chances. Not looking on opinions on taking EMBA as I’m set on the value add it brings via expanding my learning, networking, brand building.
Experience:
- 12y working experience, 5 in Hedge Funds, 7 in one of the largest European banks, my current job
- Book / business runner the whole time. Trader Assoc to VP to Director in 7 years. Front Office position
- Managed 1 Assoc over last 2 years
- Met budget of 20M every year
- Top 15 percentile of performers trading floor wide. FWIW
- Likely able to get great LOR from regional Desk Head
Academics, stats:
- Target school (Duke/Cornell/UChicago) with 3.5, Math, CompSci double major
- Recent GRE 154V, 169Q, equivalent to 690 GMAT
- I took the GMAT but more than 5y ago. 690, 38V/47Q
- Represent bank as winner in conference paper
- 1 math publication with UWash Professor in World Scientific journal
- 2 trading publications in then Futures Magazines but more than 8 years old
What chances you give me for Wharton EMBA? The mainly blocking point for me is retaking GMAT to get like a 710, their median. If I know that submitting GRE is simply a check box to tick, perhaps boosted with a very high Quant Score, then I feel more motivate to focus on application knowing that good execution in there will get me through the door.
Sincerely,
D

The fact that they don't have the GRE on the class profile works to your advantage – congrats on your quant – they will be assured you can handle the coursework. I would consider that done. Your work experience is attractive and on-brand – this is what they are most concerned with. What you can add to the classes and cohort. Need to get to work on shaping stories with each recommender at this stage. You might speak to communication in one of the stories to head off any potential concerns with verbal score https://mbaessaycoaching.com/b/wharton-emba-recommendation-questions

Hi MBAPrepCoach,
I appreciate the reply. Yup, I also notice that specific to Wharton EMBA, GMAT scores are published but not GRE; so I won't be detrimental to pulling their averages down.
I shall heed your advice on focusing on essays and recommenders.
Also, would the fact that my company would sponsor me financially increase my chances of admittance? I feel that the panel is confident in an applicant whose employer is willing to spend US$220k for said applicant to take on this EMBA. If so, then I can divert efforts in that component.
