    About this ebook

    Substance. Presentation. Good timing. These are the elements that Wharton Admissions say go into a strong MBA application. EssaySnark guides you through the process of developing your essays so that you can highlight your profile in a way that will resonate best with the Wharton adcom.

    This detailed essay strategy guide walks you through:
    • The most important aspects to a Wharton application

    • How to handle this year's essay questions and the balance of topics you should cover

    • What's up with Wharton's new group interviews

    • When you should apply - with a discussion of applying to both Wharton and Columbia

    • How to handle a reapplication to The Wharton School

    As with all the SnarkStrategies Guides, we will not tell you what to write in your essays. Your Wharton application needs to be your own. What we will do is steer you in the right direction, with a discussion of how your content should be balanced - and what to avoid as not appropriate for a Wharton app.

    The advice provided in this guide is gathered from years of experience helping high-quality applicants like you get into bschool. EssaySnark knows what goes into a strong application. Now you will, too.

    This SnarkStrategies Guide tells you how to approach Wharton's 2012-2013 essays. Additional up-to-the-minute advice on Wharton and other top bschools can always be found at www.essaysnark.com.

    Essay Snark

    Essay Snark is an MBA admissions consultant who is sometimes amused and often appalled by what candidates write in their MBA essays to top bschools. Essay Snark shares others' mistakes, so you don't make admissions directors laugh or, worse, want to hurl when they read your essays. If you, intrepid applicant, want to have your essay reviewed by Essay Snark (and posted anonymously - yes everyone will see it), email it to gethelpnow(at)essaysnark(dot)com. Emailing your essay means you give explicit permission for it to be posted (obvious identifying information such as your name and the name of your employer will be removed), and you release Essay Snark from any claims that may result from possible humiliation over said snarkiness. (And please, people, don't email us two days before the app deadline and expect to hear back in time.) EssaySnark has helped clients with successful applications to: Harvard HBS Stanford GSB Wharton Columbia NYU Stern MIT Sloan Kellogg Chicago Booth Berkeley Haas Yale SOM UCLA Anderson Michigan Ross UVA Darden Duke Fuqua Cornell Johnson Georgetown McDonough USC Marshall Vanderbilt Babson UT-Austin INSEAD IE IESE Esade Oxford LBS ISB and many more...

      Where Wharton Stands

      For example, there was the 2008 ethics scandal in its admissions department (the head of admissions was working as an admissions consultant... tsk tsk). More recently, the school has been embarrassed by the insider trading scandal that featured three members of the Wharton Class of 1983. Certainly the ISB was even more humiliated by that, since its founder is now in jail as a result of that, uh, shall we say, lapse in judgment.
