Are you looking to give back to Wharton by working with Admissions?
Alumni are an invaluable resource to help Wharton find the most talented candidates for future MBA classes. Connect with us to help us recruit the future of Wharton.
Wharton Admissions Yield Program
The Wharton Admissions Yield Program (WAY) is a program that connects Wharton MBA graduates with newly admitted MBA students, to answer the incoming students’ questions about Wharton and encourage them to accept Wharton’s offer of admission.
Twice a year, immediately following the release of MBA application decisions in December and March/April, you will be “matched” with an admitted MBA student, and we will ask you to connect via phone, in-person or email. The meeting format/frequency is at your discretion, but it gives the admitted students a chance to get answers to their questions and learn more about Wharton’s talented network of alumni.
Alumni Recruitment Network
The Alumni Recruitment Network (ARN) is a program that enables Wharton Alumni to host events for prospective students and allows them to learn more about the Wharton community through firsthand experiences from alumni in an intimate setting that fosters a personal connection at the beginning of their MBA application journey.
As an ARN host, the event format and location is at your discretion. We hope to give prospective students a diverse set of venues to ask questions and learn more about Wharton’s talented network of alumni. Applicants consistently rate their interactions with Wharton alumni as a key reason for applying to the program and ultimately deciding to enroll at the Wharton School.
Provide a letter of support for an MBA Candidate
Alumni input on candidates can be helpful in the decision-making process. If you would like to share feedback on a candidate who has applied to Wharton and not yet received a final decision, please contact our office. This feedback may be in addition to any recommendations already in the applicant’s file. Please send any letters of support to mba-admiss@wharton.upenn.edu with the subject line Letter of Support.
This additional alumni feedback will be sent directly to the Admissions Committee and will be reviewed during committee decisions. We appreciate alumni input and will acknowledge receipt of all feedback received.
