Wharton Required Essay

What are your professional objectives? (300 words)

Wharton Required Essay Tips

This goals essays is very similar yet very dissimilar to last year's prompt: "What goals are you committed to and why?".

Similar because once again Wharton challenges you to define your goals and explain your vision. Dissimilar since a 300 words essay requires stingy focus unlike the expansive background stories and examples that a 1000 would allow.

Given the tone of the questions that follow and last year's statement that "Wharton is committed to sustaining a truly global presence through its engagement in the world” it is once again apparent that presenting your vision in a context larger than of your individual career will be much appreciated. Strategic thinking, passion, vision, an inclusive worldview and intelligence: display these in the essay and you'll have my vote. Express succinctly and passionately, what your career means to you, and what it could mean top the world at large.

In case, you are able to, there are two additional areas you are briefly focus on. If possible, in a few words, uncover a logical link between your past, present and future. Also, though the second part of last year's prompt "How do you envision the Wharton MBA contributing to the attainment of those goals?" is absent, addressing it at least partially would be useful.

Go for it!

Respond to 3 of the following 4 questions:

Wharton Essay 1

1. Student and alumni engagement has at times led to the creation of innovative classes. For example, through extraordinary efforts, a small group of current students partnered with faculty to create a timely course entitled, “Disaster Response: Haiti and Beyond,” empowering students to leverage the talented Wharton community to improve the lives of the Haiti earthquake victims. Similarly, Wharton students and alumni helped to create the “Innovation and the Indian Healthcare Industry” which took students to India where they studied the full range of healthcare issues in India. If you were able to create a Wharton course on any topic, what would it be? (700 words) Wharton Essay Tips

Wharton Essay 1 Tips

This essay simply asks you to suggest a topic for crating a new Wharton course. Since the objective of ANY b-school application essay is to sell your candidature by highlighting the skills, experiences and qualities that make you an attractive candidate, arrive at the choice of topic based on how best to fulfill that objective. In this Wharton essay, some of the key qualities of yours that can be highlighted include your awareness and understanding of world affairs, your ability to understand and link learning and actions with real world events, your aptitude for researching and understanding issues, and your willingness to innovate. Endeavor to select a topic/issue for which you have demonstrable passion and towards which you have already made definite contributions. Since the goals essay this time is only 300 words, arriving at a topic that also ties in with your career aspirations will be near perfect.

The reasons for your choice of topic, why you feel the course would be an apt/effective choice at Wharton, how/why you can contribute to the course's success and perhaps most importantly, why the specific topic deserves attention at this time, would to a large extent determine the value of this essay. The examples given within the prompt underscore the importance Wharton gives to an international perspective and contemporary socio-economic/human issues.

Use examples of past achievements - specifically leadership, innovation or team related accomplishments - wherein you were able to bring in change through your thought and actions to strengthen your right to write about the specific topic. Additionally, linking the course with programs, clubs or activities at Wharton that attract you will demonstrate your knowledge of and liking for Wharton.

Wharton Essay 2

Reflect on a time when you turned down an opportunity. What was the thought process behind your decision? Would you make the same decision today? (600 words)

Wharton Essay 2 Tips

In this essay you have the opportunity to not only evaluate your action at a particular time in the past, but possibly also to explain how your outlook and personality might have changed since then.

"What was the thought process behind your decision?" is the first key element in this essay. Why and how did you decide as you did? What is your decision making process? How do you weigh different aspects of a situation/opportunity? What is your risk appetite? What competing opportunities or options did you choose instead? - after all if it is a clear "opportunity" why wouldn't you have taken it? The answers of these questions can be used to display the breadth, depth and maturity of your thought process; if the situation is professional it could additionally be used to demonstrate your business acumen.

The second part of the question "Would you make the same decision today?" is somewhat tricky. An emphatic "no" might mean that you made the wrong decision (and probably got it ALL wrong) while an emphatic "yes" could signal that you have not learnt much since then. A happy medium might to be answer with a conditional yes, and mention how what you have since learnt might have made the decision making better and the choice clearer. These are very general guidelines; you will have to make your choice based on your beliefs and the particulars of the given situation.

The chosen example could be either a personal or professional opportunity, through a professional opportunity seems more fitting and might give greater freedom for explaining the decision making process.

Wharton Essay 3

Describe a failure that you have experienced. What role did you play, and what did you learn about yourself? How did this experience help to create your definition of failure? (600 words)

Wharton Essay 3 Tips

This is an exact replication of last year's prompt, with the last question added on, and similar to the 2008-2009 question "Describe a failure or setback that you have experienced. How did you respond, and what did you learn about yourself?".

That this question repeats itself in one form or another year after year in the Penn application shows how Wharton wants to see how you handle failure and the attendant learning opportunities therein.

As in most failure essays the key to getting it right is to begin your thought process from the second part of the question "What did you learn about yourself". Choose an example with inspirational learning - a significant and credible incident that has left it's mark on you. Wharton, with it's admirable focus on the individual, wants to know your personal reaction to the event and the lessons you learnt from it. If the essay convincingly portrays a person who can face difficulties, overcome challenges, learn from mistakes, handle pressure, understand complex situations and continuously learn, you might have written the perfect essay. Never forget that the failure essay is in reality meant to be a success story where you learnt, improved and readied yourself to be a better professional, better leader and (perhaps!) a better person.

It is imperative that the essay underlines your ability to adapt, change and better yourself. After all that is what is expected from you during the Wharton MBA program and in your post-MBA career.

While the qualities that you reflected while fire-fighting the incident or it's aftereffects remain the core reason for the essay, please take care to choose a failure that is "real". A fluffy failure not only makes for a weak essay but will also probably puts you on the hot seat during the Wharton interview.

Wharton Essay 4

Discuss a time when you navigated a challenging experience in either a personal or professional relationship. (600 words)

Wharton Essay 4 Tips

For selecting the particular situation for the essay, look back to identify professional or personal circumstances when you found your interaction with an individual (though you could expand it to a team/group if you do it well) particularly challenging. While this essay could focus on your people skills, leadership abilities, your communication skills or any other relevant quality which you want to highlight, the what, why & how of the challenge and its resolution will determine the strength of the essay.

The essay can explore your outlook and maturity in challenging interactions, and implicitly demonstrate how these qualities will make you a great addition to the Wharton community.

Last year's question "Tell us about a time when you had to adapt by accepting/understanding the perspective of people different from yourself." offers further hints as to what is expected from this essay. How you understood diverse viewpoints and resolved conflict of opinions/perspectives could be one key aspect of this essay. Apart from the qualities mentioned above adaptability and a broad open outlook might be qualities that you highlight.

Like in all essay packages, but even more so here, make the final choice of the example keeping in mind the content, theme and examples you have picked for the other Wharton essays. A conclusion wherein you resolved issues and developed a fruitful relationship would be an ideal way to end the essay.
