Wharton EMBA: 3 Weeks to Final Round (Jan 18) – How to Make It
This year, many candidates were greatly surprised when Wharton moved its Round 2 EMBA deadline, which for years has always been in the first week of February, to mid-January. While this may seem like a small adjustment – only 2-3 weeks – those weeks can make a difference when a candidate is focusing during the holiday period on studying for the Executive Assessment exam, and is hoping to spend post-holiday weeks preparing the essays. The timeline for finishing the application has been shortened notably. Many candidates ask themselves whether they can make a Wharton deadline in January that is only weeks away.
In many cases, you can make a deadline that is only weeks away. Pace yourself with your EA studies as you simultaneously prepare your application. Consider these steps:
• EA studies. Take a practice exam soon. Remember that your practice score is sometimes 2-3 points higher than the score you will get on the real test. If you get a score of 157 on the practice exam, for example, your real score might be around 154-155. So, in that case, you may be nearly ready to undergo the real examination.
• Essays. Begin to draft your essays. You can do this at the same time as preparing for the EA. Some candidates can draft on their own, but if you find you are expending too much time drafting your responses, you can seek the support of a reputable consultant who can help you outline your essays so that you draft the ideal content from the beginning and do not need extensive re-writing.
• Recommendations. Begin to work with your recommendation writers. Give them plenty of time to draft your recommendations so that they get them in before the deadline. Often, Wharton will allow your recommendations to come in a couple of days after the deadline, so bear that in mind as you consider whether you can make the deadline.
• Resume. Revise your resume so that it is the best application resume you can generate. You want the resume to be a highly effective snapshot of your candidacy that makes the admissions committee want to admit you from the beginning. Remember, there is a difference between a job resume and an application resume, so make sure to add in the relevant credentials that the admissions committee values when admitting candidates.
• EA Exam. Take the EA by the Wharton deadline. If you do not score high enough, Wharton often allows you to take it one more time after the deadline and send in your second, hopefully improved, score.
