Wharton Review

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED [?]

This review is for Wharton

Program Full Time MBA

Class of 2018

Experience during the program

Pros:
-Access to huge alumni network that so far has been very willing to help
-Network of extremely smart and talented classmates (with some exceptions)
-Campus and presence in SF helps with tech/VC recruiting

Cons:
-Facilities provided don't stack up to other top programs (we can't even use the campus gym without paying $300+ per year)
-Location is not as exciting as other top programs
-Lack of experiential based learning opportunities
-Wharton needs to work on and invest more into its branding - its reputation has slipped a bit over the last decade to where it is no longer considered on the same tier as HBS and Stanford
