一个问题
lauder program目前为止有没有招中国学生？比较关心这个项目的ｔｕｉｔｉｏｎ和奖学金等问题

如果你母语不是中文，但是很想到中国或者中国语言文化环境的地方从事工作，Lauder program是一个很好的选择。
然后如果你的母语是中文，applying for lauder program就很奇怪。也许你仔细阅读一下Lauder的介绍信息，你就更加清楚了。
这个项目的学费要比一般的MBA高，因为它开学早，同时还包括到当地国家去相当长时间的immersion program。

奖学金方面，应该和mba没有啥两样。

小土狗

如果你除了英文和中文以外的其他一门外语很好，可以申请那个trek的lauder。lauder trek不招native speaker，就是说，中文lauder不招中国人。
我遇到的中文lauder项目的人，都是ABC, 新加坡人，还有很多在中国呆过或者学过中文的老外等。

谢谢小土狗的解答，其实我本身比较easy going,只不过听到不止一个人跟我说wharton里有很多aggressive的人，因为毕竟好多是从投行之类的金融机构出来的。wharton有没有像其它学校那样有个Dean's List呢？ 如果能上到那个list上，对于找好工作就会很有帮助了。所以我到是认为，不管要付出多少，还是应该尽可能的去以最优的成绩完成学业，花了那么多的时间和金钱，再学不到些真才实学就太可惜了。

我怎么到现在还没有碰到如此aggressive的人呢？？！！不知道那些"不止一个人"是哪些同学。
学校有dean list,的确有些公司招聘的时候是要看成绩的，但是有几个公司明确对成绩不是很感兴趣。因人而异啦。

其实学校并不是故意制造竞争的气氛，同学们也不都是为了拼个第一名，第二名才好好学习的。
大家辞了工作，花了血本跑到小城来学习为啥阿？不就是为了学点本事嘛，所以为了自己进步才是目的的说。

请教诸位前辈：

之前一直关注HBS，因为觉得自己是全能型，以综合（ALL-AROUNDED）见长的申请者，而WHARTON给我印象是FINANCE很强大（恰恰是我不擅长的），所以即使知道WHARTON很棒，但叶没考虑它太多。可最近又看了些信息，似乎WHARTON也很喜欢全能发展型的选手，且也和HBS一样开始喜欢招年轻毕业生。

我想请哪位前辈能劳驾看下我的CV，给我些建议。我明年本科毕业，打算直接申请。

谢谢。

Wharton的finance的确是很强大，但是你如果去看各项排名，无论哪个排名，你在top10里都可以找Wharton.所以，不谦虚地说，Wharton是各项权能的学校。我们今年学生的平均工作时间是6年。然而我们这里也有只有18岁的天才少年。（这位少年不是一点点天才的说。。。）

加油的说!

大概看了看各位的帖子，发现wharton确实有很多Finance背景强的牛人。

从学校的culture来讲，你们同不同意其实学校本身就是在有意的制造一种竞争的氛围？同学与同学之间或多或少都比较competitive啊？连选课也要bid

Do you think you cannot be too nice to everyone if you want to finish in the top of your class?

严重不同意！
学习不是为了要去抢第一，是为了自己提高。
试问有多少人辞掉工作，花了一大笔钱跑到小城来念书，是为了炫耀自己读书多好，可以拿top？If so，为啥要念MBA？而不是念个PHD？

我的一些体验，学校安排了很多促进同学友谊的活动，包括我们刚刚结束的learning team retreat.
我们划船，我们攀岩，我们玩egg and chicken,我们玩德州扑克，甚至大打大怪路子... ...很多原来不熟的同学一下子成为了好朋友。

在Pre-term，我们有很多考试，但是我们会跑去帮日本同学，美国同学补习数学，也会和同学组队复习MGEC,这些都是互相帮助，都是增进友谊，却从来没有看到有人会互扯后腿。
关于Bid system，我觉得很合理。如果没有这个bid system，你会看到更加混乱的选课情况。bid system其实是在维护一种公平。

Thanks Littleca. Understand that I may not be granted any offer at all, but as I said, I simply want to avoid a potential difficult situation where I will have to accept one offer while having to let go potentially a better one simply because the first one's due and the better one's not come yet. Simply telling me how much time in between the notification of offer and the deadline for accepting it for a typical Wharton offer will do. Thanks.

It varies from round to round. If you do want to know, you can email admission office telling them you "simply want to avoid the potential difficult situation" and ask for their advice.

right. Seems you didn't do the first round. Can anyone who gets first round offer last year let me know the deadline for accepting the offer?

Oh, gee! What is your problem?
People here are volunteering their time for your information. Remember it is not their obligations to give you the answers.
Please try to consider your manners if you are asking for a help.

You questions shall be the last one you shall concern, because you will be given enough time to weigh your different offers. Lots of people received offers from multiple top B-Schools previously, and they all made their well-evaluated decisions. We can not offer you the exact date for the answer, but  I make sure that the situation you are worrying will not happen in case of Wharton.

By the way, if you do not like a program, never try to apply for it. No one will enter a school they do not like as the cost is much higher than they can expect.

Cannot agree more. Especially as Wharton students have the opportunity to get invovled in admission process, I sincerely encourage prospective students to show the best of yourself and be nice to people.

Interesting. Appreciate your answer and thanks for your time. My question was quite simple actually. BTW, I do like Wharton but that should not keep me from exploring other opportunities. Think you are likely to agree with me as it is rare that an applicant only applies to one school.
