Feedback Session with Wharton
Early this May, I was pretty lucky to grab one of the last few spots for feedback session with Wharton's adcom. A friend tried to schedule an appointment on the following day, but she was told all the slots were already full!
The feedback session was scheduled to be 15 minutes. But even including the time I was put on hold, the whole phone call last no more than 3 minutes.
The message was pretty simple.
Basically, the adcom thought I was a very strong candidate and it became a tough call whether to admit me or not. My application packaged presented strong candidacy:
- Great academic performance;
- Excellent leadership experience (including very impressive story of how I motivated others);
- Top-quality extracurricular activities;
- Well-rounded and unique;
- Will have a lot to bring to the class.
The only downside of my application was about "why Wharton?"
Ouch!
But I wasn't quite surprised by this feedback. My essay on "why Wharton" is most likely mediocre in the eyes of adcom members, however, in contrast, my answer to "why Chicago GSB" was much deeper and more personalized. Even when I was waitlisted by Chicago GSB, I was still able to come up with additional in-depth and personalized reasons for "why Chicago GSB."
But why wouldn't Wharton just put me on the waiting list and give me another chance to elaborate how much I love its MBA program? (Yes, I love Chicago GSB, too. And yes, I love HBS and Stanford GSB! Kellogg? Uhhhh...Yes!)
