Essay #1
What do you hope to gain professionally from the Wharton MBA? (500 words)
This is your typical career goals essay for an in-depth analysis on how to craft a persuasive career goal essay check out this article.
To answer this question, think big picture, what are your aspirations and career goals? How does Wharton fit into this narrative? Avoid the common pitfall of making this question about your professional background and past accomplishments, as tempting as it may be. You may add a few elements from your past professional life only if they informed your future career goals and/or your decision to pursue and MBA.
Make sure you touch upon your immediate post-MBA career plans as well as your long-term plans. What impact would you like to have on your industry/company? What skill gaps are you trying to fill with a Wharton MBA?
In this essay, you will also need to identify specific courses; conferences or students organizations, that will help you position yourself post MBA. Be as specific as possible. Mention what you are planning on gaining from these opportunities but also what you will contribute. Don’t go into too much specifics on the latter. You will have the opportunity to show how you will contribute to the Wharton community in essay #2.
Essay #2
Taking into consideration your background—personal, professional, and/or academic—how do you plan to make specific, meaningful contributions to the Wharton community? (400 words)
This question was added this year to give AdComs an opportunity to know you on a more personal level. To answer this question think about your past experiences and connect them with your potential contribution to Wharton.
AdComs are looking for people who have a track record of bringing about positive changes in the industry or company they worked in… and how they will continue to have an impact on the Wharton community as a student or alum.
For this essay, you can draw on either your personal, academic or professional background to highlight your past contributions as long as these experiences can translate into your potential involvement at Wharton.
Make sure you are as specific as possible, describe a leadership role you are planning at undertaking at Wharton: launching a new club, organizing a conference- or whatever your personal interests are and select a few experiences in your past that show you successfully undertook a similar project before.
Re-applicant Essay
Please use this space to share with the Admissions Committee how you have reflected and grown since your previous application and discuss any relevant updates to your candidacy (e.g., changes in your professional life, additional coursework, and extracurricular/volunteer engagements). (250 words)
If you are a re-applicant, this essay is mandatory. Given the very limited number of words allocated you will have to be concise and straight to the point.
Instead of simply mentioning a new job title or a change of address you will want to highlight the thoughtful steps you took to improve your profile.
AdComs want to see in this section new and improved GMAT/GRE scores, a promotion at work, or additional extra-curricular activities. Approach this essay as a way to showcase how your initial rejection prompted you to spring into action, embrace challenges and work on improving your profile.
Optional First-time Applicant Essay
Please use this space to share any additional information about yourself that cannot be found elsewhere in your application and that you would like to share with the Admissions Committee. This space can also be used to address any extenuating circumstances (e.g., unexplained gaps in work experience, choice of recommenders, inconsistent or questionable academic performance, areas of weakness, etc.) that you would like the Admissions Committee to consider.
As tempting as it may be this is not a place to add bonus information, instead use this section to address any weaknesses, gaps in employment or anything that you didn't already address in your application. Be concise, offer an explanation but do not dwell on these weaknesses or make excuses.
