Ask Me Anything: Getting Into Wharton & What Happens After
Thinking about applying to Wharton? Trying to figure out if an MBA is right for you? Come ask me anything! I'm Maryam, a current Wharton MBA candidate (Class of 2026) and incoming BCG consultant. I'm opening up my calendar for a real, unfiltered conversation about all of it: the application process, essays, interviews, campus culture, career opportunities....and what it's 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, and how to position your unique background.
2) The Wharton experience: what the community really feels like, the energy on campus, travel, clubs, people, and 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!), student life with a dog, and personal growth - not just building a resume - during these two years.
No question is too simple or too complicated. Whether you're just starting to explore or are deep in application mode, I'd love to help you think about your next steps!
