Wharton students with businesses

Wharton’s not a vocational school, it’s a research institution. They study science and Wharton’s looking for passionate and motivated intelligent people. You’re learning about how to model economies, not how to run a business. Quite frankly, experience in business doesn’t mean much to Wharton. Just like they don’t let you take business classes at other schools, they promote the Wharton way as THE way.

Honestly, I’d say that the vast majority of my classmates here have no business background or experience. While an MBA uses experience to help teach, Wharton undergrad is about learning the theory. They want intelligent people, and being passionate about business isn’t really going to get you any further than being passionate about another subject.

This is why sushant is going to get rejected and others will get admitted. Sorry, had to throw some flamebait in there.
