If Harvard’s name precedes it in general management and Kellogg is basically shift+F7 for marketing, Wharton’s second name is “Finance”. But because of it’s resounding reputation, many people don’t realize that the Wharton program excels in many other specialties: marketing, production and operations, international business, management and entrepreneurship just to name a few. So don’t believe the rumors – while Wharton may have had some ebbs and flows due to the market crash in 2008-2009, it is a promising investment for your future that is sure to yield high returns. Wharton offers 18 majors and 200 different electives, and a month-long orientation before the program begins to get yourself settled begins as well as a 2 day retreat for an emphasis on team training. This retreat should come as no surprise, seeing as how Wharton also implements a group dynamic interview for its applicants. Don’t let the fact that you’re not a native English speaker deter you – it’s about how you manage within the group, not about whether you can recite Shakespeare.
