Student Perspectives I came into Philadelphia with some trepidation about my potential classmates at Wharton, but left days later after a fantastic weekend knowing that I would attend Wharton, and would do so with a collection of incredible people.
I was torn between Wharton and another program at the time, but realized via my interaction with the 1st years and my fellow admits that Wharton was not the stuffy, quant-focused school that I had pre-conceived. Instead, I found well-rounded, community-focused students who could speak to a variety of academic and extra-curricular experiences. These leaders were people that I could see myself hanging out with and working with. |
