All reapplicants to Wharton are required to complete the Optional Essay.

Ready to get this party started.

Just a quick question, can we get the Wharton '17 profile to point here rather than to the class of 2016 forum?

FROM Wharton Admissions Blog: Summer Travel Continues

Alumni in Hong Kong speaking to prospective students A quiet week on campus is always a sign that travel season has begun and the Admissions team is scattered around the world. The Wharton Global Forum Beijing was held last week, bringing together faculty, staff, students, alumni and industry leaders to network and speak to the theme of “Growth through Innovation.” You can find highlights from the event here to give you a glimpse inside the Forum. On the heels of the Forum, the Admissions team enjoyed traveling to different cities in Asia to meet with prospective students and local alumni at our admissions events. Following the visit to Beijing, the team traveled to Seoul, Shanghai and Hong Kong, and in the coming days will be holding more admissions events throughout Europe – Moscow, Paris, London and Madrid. Vice Dean of External Affairs, Sam Lundquist, helping us recruit for the Class of 2038 As always, we encourage you to continue monitoring our website as additional events are confirmed. Below is a full list of our upcoming sessions taking place in London and throughout Africa and South America during the month of July. We encourage anyone interested in pursuing a full-time MBA program to join us and learn more. As you can see from the photo to the left, it’s never too early to start planning for your MBA.   MBA Admissions Events in London, Africa and South America: London Diversity Presentation: July 7, 2014 Lagos Information Session: July 10, 2014 Johannesburg Entrepreneurship Reception: July 16, 2014 Sao Paulo Information Session: July 28, 2014 Santiago Information Session: July 29, 2014 Buenos Aires Information Session: July 31, 2014 Lima Information Session: August 4, 2014 Bogota Information Session: August 6, 2014   The post Summer Travel Continues appeared first on Engage with Us.

AGREED. I just began the essay-writing-process today. This is going to be a long road.

Aside from the Global Practicum, does Wharton have any other experiential learning/hands-on classes?
Thanks

I think so, though you may have to look at the curriculum, quite a number of classes are hands-on. Also there's the leadership venture which I think is also part of it. This: https://wlp.wharton.upenn.edu/experiential-learning.cfm is a good place to start your research.

The essay is tougher than I'd imagined it would be. Hang in there.
