I have loved my time at Wharton. While there is definitely a heightened sense of competition, especially during recruiting, I have found my classmates to be generally good, extremely qualified people. I have learned a lot about business but even more about working together with people and managing situations. I feel that it has prepared me well for my career in the workforce.

I would say that Wharton's strengths are in its focus on team experience (through course projects and extracurriculars) and on diversity (the university as a whole is very international). The Wharton undergraduate degree also offers a lot of breadth in that you get a taste of many different areas of business and also in the arts, humanities and sciences through non-Wharton classes. It makes for a well-rounded experience.

TOP

Very little support for those of us not entering the finance or consulting fields. I want to enter the auto industry and have had virtually no help.

I feel that coming out of Wharton I am an extremely competitive candidate for the job market and I am not worried about internship/job. The reputation speaks for itself and has really helped me in my job hunt.

Competition....the pressure cooker that is Wharton is unparalleled in its ability to compel students to perform at higher levels.

TOP

The professors feel the need to curve too much. When the average on a test is a 99/100 and that becomes a B-/C+, there is a problem. Students (especially international ones) are cutthroat competitive to the point where some will scowl at you for lending a student a pencil or calculator when they forgot one for a test. This attitude is completely supported by the university. This makes it difficult to compete with students at other schools. Wharton grads are compared to other Ivy League students and other Business Students. Other Ivies don't have the curve Wharton does.

I feel as though Wharton is unique (beyond just its academics and faculty) because of its student groups and the events they sponsor on campus. Whether it is the Wharton name or simply our proximity to NYC, I find that the student groups always manage to pump out numerous sponsored networking events- not just internship fairs and dinners with firm representatives, but also educational panels, speakers events, and interview or other career-related workshops with alumni or recruiters.

TOP

I feel that although Wharton provides you with a comprehensive business knowledge, it leaves little room to explore you other interests outside of the business school, especially if a student struggles with the business classes and can't take additional courses in other areas that are not required. Wharton is great for people who are really sure that they want to work in the business after graduation, but is not a great place to explore other possible fields.

It whips you into shape for the real world by virtue of: the rigor of the coursework, the caliber of my classmates, and the demands of my extracurriculars. I know now how to work hard and how to be professional, in all senses.

TOP

Wharton is renowned for its finance programs, but I was unexpectedly impressed by its statistics, entrepreneurial and operations (game theory, optimization, programming, systems engineering) coursework. The network and preparation are really unrivaled, as even my friends from other top programs have told me. That said, there is often an us-vs-them attitude about students at other business schools, that can get annoying.

MGMT 100 is an introductory course unique to Wharton that really cultivates teamwork and leadership skills. Along those lines, the emphasis on real-life skills combined with a high caliber of academic quality makes the Wharton experience truly unique.

TOP

The emphasis on team work and leadership skills here is excellent. Every class has some sort of group activity so you get to network with other people as well as develop team work skills. This really makes me feel ready for the workforce.

What I felt that the program most lacked was guidance. I think the school could be very well served by adopting a mentorship program between seniors and freshmen and sophomores. I transferred into Wharton after my freshman year, and I always felt like I wasn't in-the-know about what classes to take or what groups to get involved with on campus. Having a senior who was familiar with the system to turn to for advice would have been very helpful.

I appreciated the ability to take courses outside of my major. In particular, I was able to pursue a dual degree in engineering through the "Jerome Fisher Program in Management & Technology", which would have been very difficult to complete in 4 years at any other school.
