Ask Me Anything: Getting Into Wharton & What Happens After
Thinking about applying to Wharton? Just trying to figure out if an MBA is even right for you? Come ask me anything! I'm Maryam, a current Wharton MBA candidate (Class of 2026) and incoming BCG consultant, and I'm opening up my calendar for a real, unfiltered conversation about all of it. The application process, the essays, the interviews, the campus culture, the career opportunities....and what it's actually like to live in this parallel universe.
Here's what we can get into:
1) The application side: essay strategy, how to tell your story, school fit, interview prep, scholarship tips, and how to position your unique background.
2) The Wharton experience: what the community really feels like, the energy on campus, the travel, clubs, people, the opportunities that open up when you're here and when you leave.
3) The life side: what it's like to do an MBA with a partner (I got engaged while at Wharton!), navigate life with a dog in Philadelphia, and build something real - not just a resume - during these two years.
No question is too basic or too specific. Whether you're just starting to explore or deep in application mode, I'd love to help you figure out your next step!
