I came to Experts' seeking help on my applications with 680 on GMAT. It was September and I did not have time to improve my score. However, I was guided to prepare for GMAT as the help from Experts' eased the applications burden on me. While I achieved a 750 on GMAT with the Experts' Global Guidance Program, my applications were also almost completed. I still applied everywhere in Round-1 and achieved multiple admits with great scholarships!

Benjamin Franklin pioneered the effort to create an institution for providing higher education to the future generations of Philadelphia, resulting in the foundation of Public Academy of Philadelphia in 1749. The Academy opened in January 1751 along with a free Charity School that started in September. In 1779, the College was taken over by the State of Pennsylvania and was renamed as the University of the State of Pennsylvania. In 1791, the University of the State of Pennsylvania and the College of Philadelphia got united by an Act of Legislature and came to be called as the University of Pennsylvania. In 1881, the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce was founded by American entrepreneur Joseph Wharton at the University of Pennsylvania with the aim to educate visionary business leaders. The MBA degrees were first awarded in the year 1921.
Joseph Wharton’s pioneering vision for the School was to produce graduates who would become “pillars of the state, whether in private or in public life.” The Wharton School maintains a long tradition of educating visionary business leaders in academe, business, government, and not-for-profit organizations. Today, Wharton has expanded the scope of this vision to become the most comprehensive source of business knowledge in the world.
The Wharton MBA program transforms its students into capable business leaders through its unique and rigorous academic learning experience that pushes them to think through uncertain and ambiguous situations, thus, giving them the confidence and skills to lead in complex business situations. Wharton graduates are highly sought after for their rigorous, analytical thinking approach that enables them to unleash compelling evidences, and take well-informed business decisions backed by sound reasoning in crucial circumstances. Students gain access to critical analytical tools that aid them in arriving at sound decisions by sticking to facts, data and evidences. Wharton was a pioneer in introducing the Learning Team Model in its curriculum, which is now emulated by other business schools. The Learning Team Model replicates the business environment where employees work together, thus, encouraging the students to cultivate persuasive leadership skills and learn from others’ experiences. The interaction of team members from diverse professional settings and cultural backgrounds facilitates risk taking, collaborative idea generation and deepens their understanding on multiple functional disciplines of business. The MBA Leadership Ventures (Expeditions, Intensives and Workshops) generate self-awareness among the students and play a crucial role in leadership and character development of the students. Expeditions and Intensives are outdoor experiential treks that expose the students to ambiguous and uncertain challenging environments, where they learn to take critical decisions in risky circumstances. Leadership Development Workshops focus on a wide range of topics such as persuasive leadership, ability to influence others, innovation and creativity at workplace, team-building exercises and skills that govern small group behavior dynamics.
Entrepreneurship at Wharton is core to its curriculum, with the students developing the right set of skills and management practices to embark on their entrepreneurial journey. Being one of the most influential entrepreneurial centers, Wharton takes pride in preparing its students for an entrepreneurship career whether they intend to build their ideas from scratch or expand their family business. The annual Wharton Business Plan Competition encourages the students to bring their ideas to life through a series of workshops, judges’ feedback and one-to-one mentoring. The final eight teams get to present their companies before the Philadelphia entrepreneurial community. The Wharton Venture Initiating Program VIP is a competitive program where students build and implement their own ventures. Students receive immense support and guidance from the entrepreneurial community and enhance their professional network during this experience. The Entrepreneur-in-Residence EIR program invites successful entrepreneurs to its campus to share their expertise with the students to provide them insights into the challenges of different stages of the startups.
Wharton’s Social Impact Initiative WSII brings together the students, faculty, alumni and external organizations at the complex intersection of business and social impact. WSII is a platform that encourages students and organizations to collaborate and develop advanced business solutions for the social good. The Wharton Community Consultants is a student organization that assists non-profit organizations in Philadelphia and provides real-world consulting opportunities for the students.
