Hi can ask all those who've applied...........would really appreciate your direct feedback just about to go into R2
Did Wharton reach out to your employer and/or listed supervisor to (1) validate their stated support & (2) seek a personal /professional reference???????????
My companies leadership has supported me applying to the program. However my direct local supervisor from which the support letter came is lets call it somewhat less supportive than those above her and I feel if contacted would probably give a far from full throated support of my application. So do they reach out to the supervisor or employer?
You're required to submit the original copy of an employer sponsorship letter (this should include promise of financial sponsorship of >= 50% for Fellows applicants), which recognizes the time required away from work and can come from anyone senior enough to have that kind of authority. You can read about this on the application requirements page on Wharton's website.
Your letters of recommendation can come from anyone you deem appropriate but it helps if a direct supervisor is included. In the application process, Wharton will not reach out directly to anyone. It is only after you've accepted the offer of admission and commence the background check that they'll start contacting your letter writers and past employers to verify employment.
