Prospective students frequently ask us how to prepare a successful application. Many are distressed to find that the Wharton MBA Admissions process is not numbers-driven – based primarily on
1，previous academic performance,
2，test scores (e.g., GMAT, TOEFL),
3，number of years in the work force.

Because the MBA is a professional degree that centers on applied knowledge (grounded in theory), we are as interested in an individual’s
1，leadership,
2，teamwork,
3，personal qualities,
4，professional skills – whether demonstrated or potential – as in his or her academic preparedness for our challenging curriculum.  

This holistic approach to evaluating candidates creates a richer and more diverse class and learning environment.
