University of Pennsylvania MBA 2024 FAQs

Q:   Is Wharton MBA hard to get into?

A: 

The University of Pennsylvania (Wharton) is ranked third in the list of Best Business Schools. With an acceptance rate of 10-13%, getting into Wharton isn't impossible, but it's also not simple. While the average GMAT score for admitted students is 700+, Wharton accepts applications with GMAT scores as low as 600 or as high as 500. A Wharton MBA applicant's average GMAT score is 700+. This won't prevent you from being admitted if your score is less than 700. Wharton claims unequivocally that there are no minimum GMAT or GRE score criteria for admission to their MBA program.

Q:   How much does Wharton MBA cost for Indian students?

A: 

Wharton's MBA application cost is $275 and is non-refundable. With your application, you can pay by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or American Express). MBA at Wharton for Indian students is quite expensive. The table below highlights the total cost of pursuing MBA at Wharton:

Q:   An MBA from Wharton worth it?

A:

It is vital to investigate critical variables such as alumni network, curriculum, class size, professors, and research centers to evaluate whether Wharton is the ideal business school for you. The Wharton MBA programme enhances earning potential, expands professional prospects, and offers several intangible benefits.

Q:   Is Wharton better than Harvard MBA?

A: 

Since Wharton has a better reputation for the technical aspects of finance than Harvard does today, it is slightly more prestigious than Harvard in the field of finance.  But in the consulting arena, Harvard is high above Wharton, and the combined effect gives the edge to Harvard.

Both Wharton and Harvard Business School are renowned schools, and receiving an MBA from one of them can open up important chances for career progression. The choice between the two programs should ultimately be based on personal tastes and goals, as each programme has distinct advantages and disadvantages of its own. To find out which programme best fits your goals for both your personal and professional life, it may be good to explore its professors, alumni network, and career outcomes.
