Too Specialized for Wharton?

Definitely. Diverse interests are a plus. Imagine how many applicants they are getting saying – I want to go here because I want to end up at Goldman? And imagine how many are saying that not even really knowing what ibanking is? It just doesn’t come across believable. Discussing something like how you have an interest in law and feel that having a solid business education is a stepping stone to that – MUCH more believable esp. for a high school senior. Plus Legal Studies is a Wharton department, so it’s not like you’re trying to convince them that business is important for your art history career (though even there – you could pull a story together if you wanted to).
