Thank you bb, appreciate your quick answer. I’ll get in touch with their adcom.
Agreed, it’d be very useful to see what EA was obtained by successful applicants

Did you end up retaking the exam? I’d be very curious as to your results for your applications. If you’re applying in February, you might retake if you have everything else sorted if you are still working on essays and recommendations and everything then your effort is probably best spent there.

Hi everyone,

I have just taken the EA and got 153 (IR 11, VR 11, QR 11). I have heard 150 is a 'magic number', in most cases considered good enough for top EMBA (i.e. Columbia, Yale, Berkeley, Wharton), but I have also heard that Wharton may request a higher score (155 or 160, with at least 12 in QR) (nothing official here, just some feedback gathered accross the internet).

As the test score is just one piece of the overall applocation, and I was wondering if a 153 would be a 'no go' for Wharton or if I still have great chances to have my profile considered.
My profile is: International (European), male, will be 31 y.o. with 8 years of professional xp at time of program start (I am aiming at Aug-22 start), Deals Consulting at lead US consulting firm in NYC, MSc in Management from French/UK universities.
As you can understand, I would rather avoid re-taking the test if 153 still gives me solid chances to get a spot at Wharton EMBA.

I would highly appreciate your insight (e.g. if some of you got into Wharton EMBA with a EA below 155). Thank you so much.

Tom
