Thank you vicki 学姐， isabelgan and youneverknow. Just trying to share my experience learnt from being part of Wharton's Volunteer Admissions Committee. I've noticed that when you explain things, rather than just answering questions, people begin to understand WHY things are done the way they are, and that makes it easier to understand the process.
WE stands for "Work Experience" (几年的工作经验). People tend to talk about this because many have the misconception that it is an important factor in admission. In fact, some may have "WE" of 10 years and still not have accomplished much and still be immature. Some are mature even with WE of 0. More important than a single number, is what you've done during your professional life.
Hi Jason, could you elaborate more about the international exchange programs? How many students join this program every year? I think it is a good way to build network in the particular area where I want to develop my career. Am I right?
totoyan> I would say not many actually join. The issue is timing. Considering that you took so much effort to apply to Wharton, and you are paying so much to attend only four semesters here, few people want to spend one of those four semesters (1/4 of the MBA experience!) attending school somewhere else. The quality of classmates and classes is so high at Wharton that few want to give that up for something else. The one programme many do think about though is the Wharton-INSEAD exchange. This can happen after May, and so we don't actually have to give up our Wharton semester to do it.
As for why do it, there are myraid possible reasons. You can use it to build your network, view it as a cultural exchange, or just a fun holiday with friends. Most people see it as the latter two. After all, if what you really wanted was to build your network in Singapore for instance, why would you come to Wharton instead of directly going to INSEAD Singapore?
