Thanks for the detailed information about Wharton's program.I indeed learn more about Wharton.

I have another question about TOEFL transcript. Due to business trip and heavy workload, i plan to take my TOEFL test in the end of September and hopefully apply the first-round program. However, if the score doesn't come out yet (it takes 2-3 weeks to calculate the grades), could I sill submit my application? Also, if the formal transcript will be sent to school after deadline, would the admission accept my informal online score first and wait for my formal transcript sent by ETS?

Thanks for your patience with me

I recommend you to contact the admission office asking for their advice.

Today a professor mentioned some information during class which might be useful to all prospective students:

1. GMAT is important because it is a standardized test that can evaluate the academic quality of students from all over the world. Adcom knows grading policies vary among different countries/schools thus gpa is not comparable.

2. Now Wharton uses his/her highest GMAT score when evaluates each applicant. However, this policy is likely to change soon and average GMAT will be taken into consideration. The reason is that the school does not want to put in disadvantage those students who cannot afford re-taking GMAT again and again.

I'm not clear how much faculty involves in admission process and where the professor got this information, but I see no harm to pay attention to GMAT because it is the only part in application easy to improve.

就目前上了一个月的情况来说

偶个人觉得十分quantitative 据说HBS的同学每天看2个case （道听得） 但是从来不用公式算什么东西 （也是道听的）

而我们很多人每天就是拿着计算器和草稿纸在那里算阿算阿 基本现在每门课都要算

也有可能因为最先一个月是preterm 要学很多business fundamental 的东西 所以想对quant了一些 希望接下来正式开学了 会不一样很多

但是我觉得至少说明两点 第一 wharton是一个比较quant的学校 不是那种relaxe的学校气氛 我们这里的老师经常拿kellogg作为对比 认为他们相对比较舒服 具体情况偶不知道 欢迎西北的同学纠正

第二 wharton很重学生的基本能力 所谓hands on dirt 希望学生是能处理实际问题的 也就是我们经常说的practical 很多employer的feedback是wharton的学生相对来说都是很wellprepared 甚至overprepared 这当然是有好的地方 也有不好的地方

先说那么多 都是偶个人观点 这个礼拜考了很多试 心情大好 上来胡说两句 欢迎同学们踊跃排砖

FNCE 7 系列的课都是要上好FNCE 601, 602后才能选的。这里选课是通过网上的auction来竞标的。有些热门的课，要花掉你很多的点数去bid。第一年的core course，基本都是按照cohort一起上，除非你免修了某门课。什么老师上，什么时候上，都不是你决定的。但是选修课自己可以灵活安排，也可以去挑自己喜欢的老师。
