Wharton EMBA 2010 Application Now Available

The application for Wharton’s EMBA program is now online. If you’re interested in applying to the program, we recommend that you start the application process as early as possible because it might take longer than you think to pull everything together.

One change from last year’s application is in the essay section.  There are still four essays to complete, however there is now an additional third option within the second essay. The essays cover topics such as your goals and how you plan to fit in an EMBA program. The fourth essay is optional and is an opportunity to convey additional information you feel is relevant. For example, if your grades weren’t so hot in college or you also are applying to the full-time program, you can provide an explanation here.

To get started, you’ll need to register and create a password.  Once you log in, the system is designed to walk you through the required steps, including how to electronically submit your recommendations and essays. You don’t have to complete the application all at once.  You can save your work over many sessions before submitting your final application on February 1st, 2010.

If you find yourself overwhelmed by all the advice available on how to apply to b-school (guides that offer ‘insider’ information and online discussions with other applicants who’ve “heard” what schools are looking for) here’s what we recommend when you apply to the Wharton MBA Program for  Executives:   Rather than reading what strangers have to say and what ‘experts’ recommend – call us with your questions, attend an admissions reception, or visit Wharton in Philadelphia or San Francisco to attend classes and talk to staff and current students. We are very transparent in our admissions process and our goal is to help you understand this process so that we evaluate your best application.
