Wharton’s 2021-22 EA Target (Executive Assessment): 155!
For candidates with more than eight years of work experience, Wharton accepts the Executive Assessment exam instead of the GMAT or GRE. (For those of you with less than eight years of full-time work experience, you must unfortunately take the GMAT or GRE when applying to Wharton.) Wharton often articulates its desired EA target to candidates during informal discussions, and this target has changed over the years as Wharton has assessed which scores correlate with success in its program. In the first year it accepted the EA exam, Wharton told many candidates that a score of 150 was fine, with a quant of at least 10. In its second year of accepting EA scores, Wharton told many candidates to aim for a score of 160 or higher, with a quant of at least 12. At that time, many candidates were very disheartened to hear that Wharton preferred such a high score!
Happily, since then, Wharton has adjusted its targets. For many American male candidates, a score of 155 with quant of 12 or higher is a safe score. Women of all backgrounds can generally present scores above 150 or higher, with a quant of 9 or 10, and fare okay if they have excellent work experience. Overrepresented candidates, such as Indian foreign national men, should strive for EA scores around 157 or higher, with quant of 14 or higher.
Wharton is pickier about the EA score than other top EMBA programs such as Booth and Columbia. Because Wharton has such a rigorous and quant-heavy curriculum, it wants to make sure its admits can thrive in its program.
What if your EA score is lower than the targets above? Can there be exceptions? If an Indian foreign national male presents a score of 155, for instance, might he still gain admission to Wharton? Of course, there are exceptions; Wharton will, after all, assess your overall record. If you have achieved extraordinary success in your career, that can go a long way in encouraging Wharton to place less significance on your EA score. If you have a less-than-ideal EA score, be sure to highlight your other strengths through your essays, recommendations, resume, and interview, so that hopefully you can get through to a “yes.”
