Hi Jason, thanks for your great sharing in 116F. I was really excited to attend the info session of Bain in BJ but I am kind of wondering if I should attend coz I am not sure if I am that prepared. I totally see the point that Wharton dont allow companies coming to campus umtill 2 months after class starts.

Here is one question -

I dont think my resume will be ready for the mgnt consulting firms by the event. What's better to tell the recruiters if they do ask for one?

Thanks

chiyuanl> I would first consider whether you even want to be put in that situation by showing up when you're not prepared. However if you still decide to go, you probably have two choices:

1) say exactly what you told me, and tell them that your resume is not ready yet, and that you will be sure to forward a copy to them when it is. For instance you can give the excuse that you want it to be in the Wharton resume format, and have the school take a look at it, before you send it out.
2) have someone else who knows about resumes, etc review it and then send it in. After all, Wharton's career management are not the only people out there who know how to review MBA resumes!

hi

i wanna know whether there're current wharton mba students who worked as engineers previously. ersonally, I've never seen any engineers got admission from wharton. So, just sort of afaid that it could be extremely tough for engineers to get in.

thanks

We have many ex-engineers here.

In fact, together with Business and Economics, Engineering is probably the most common major (and also one of the very common professions) for people at business school. Engineers tend to be very good at analytical skill, which tends to make you a good candidate for banking/consulting/other data heavy professional occupations.

Hey, Jason.

I got a 730 gmat (Q51, V37), but only 4.5 on AWA. I was just wondering whether it's good enough to apply for top 5 schools.

Thanks!
