Wondering when the Wharton MBA Application for the 2012-13 application season goes live?

In a recent update from Wharton on MBA Admissions, it was announced by the Director of MBA Admissions, Ankur Kumar, that Wharton would be posting its essay questions in early July and the full application in early August. Given the curveball thrown by HBS in its application this year, it will be interesting to see how Wharton reacts in its application and to see what changes are made to the Essay Questions.

For those of you who have not had a chance to look at the changes in HBS’ MBA Application for the Class of 2015, the most significant change has been the reduction in essay question words from 2,000 words to 800 words. Furthermore, there would be an additional Essay required 24 hours after the Interview.

Wharton MBA Admissions has kicked-off its summer tour visiting different countries with the Admissions Presentations. The MBA Admissions staff is visiting more than 150 cities in 45 countries. Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, France, Germany, Ghana, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Japan, Nigeria, Peru, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Thailand, UK, Vietnam are already on the schedule available here.
