Wharton has a declining number of applicants through the last four years. It believed that since the quality of applicants was still good and the percentage of receiving applicants has risen, its ability to target candidates has improved. But according to its own students, the reputation of Wharton has fallen since the financial crisis and many students shift their interest from finance to technology and entrepreneurship. These top business school try to strengthen relationships between them and hot technology companies as well as Fortune 500 companies.

These measures have received obvious effects in some business schools such as Harvard, but in Wharton the number of application is still decreasing. It argued that the quality of its applicants is still good according to the average score of GMAT. But there was an applicant who gave up a $70000 scholarship of Wharton and went to Harvard.

谢谢小鱼，好有营养的文章！
1.1-30
Since the past four years, we can see that wharton has received fewer applicants than it did before. People usually said, "Wharton, Standford and Harvard", but now we only hear, "Standford and Harvard". Even though Wharton says it picks up better applicants, we still doubt whether the status of the famous business school is decreasing. The main reason is the financial crisis. As we know, after the horrible finanical cirisis in 2008, many finanical companies lost their business, thus making it harder for graduates to find suitable work.
2.2-28
From the statistics of applicants to different schools, we can see that many top business schools get increased number of applicants, but Wharton isn't among them. However, Wharton says that the quality of applicants is much important than the quantity, considering that its applicants' GMAT score is 725 out of 800. Now people are focusing on the global network of schools. On the other hand, business schools also want applicants who have experience in diversified fields.
3.1-38
In order to improve its students' leadership and teamwork abilities, Wharton introduce a group class into its schedule, even though the strategy may depress some applicants. One disadvantage of Wharton is that its graduates focus on financial industry. Some students think business school is not just financial school. Furthermore, the leaders of Wharton change too frequently, comparied with leaders of other top business schools, thus making the long-term strategy hard to conduct.
4.1-15
K, the director of Wharton administration is going to leave her position. As we know, in recent years the number of Wharton's annual applicants has been decreasing, making people to ask whether the school lose its competence among the top business schools. K may find new jobs not for a long time, but we care more about Wharton.
5.1-33
Even though the sudden resign of the director occurs, Wharton still make sure that its schedule will continue. To be sure, Wharton's graduates are popular among top companies. At last, the author points out several former directors's experiences and tenures.
6.9-31
The author is one of MBA students in Wharton, sharing his experience with us to point out the reason why so many applicants to Wharton fail. There are main five reasons: Fear, Poor Execution, and so forth. Don't put much attention to the cloth for the interview, but rather focus on how to make yourself known by the administrators.
