The following are the most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) we receive from prospective students interested in the Wharton MBA Program. In addition, the MBA Admissions Blog will have the latest news from Admissions and Financial Aid. If none of these resources works for you, please contact us.
Interact With Us: On and Off Campus
What can I do when I visit campus?
You can attend MBA classes, have lunch with a current student, attend an information session hosted by a member of the Admissions Committee, and attend the MBA Pub (only available on Thursdays). These activities are not available May through September when classes are not in session. For more information, explore the Student Discussion Forum or go to the Visit Campus page.
Where should I stay when I visit?
Please review our list of hotels.
How can I contact Wharton alumni in my area?
Although our alumni have occasionally been overwhelmed by requests to meet one-on-one, they are eager to discuss the benefits of a Wharton education with prospective students at the scheduled receptions and forums in which we participate throughout the world. For a list of these events, please check the Admissions Events page. We invite candidates to visit campus, sit in on classes, and speak with current students. A campus visit remains one of the best ways to get to know the program and what we have to offer.
As an international prospective student, I need a visa to come to the U.S. for a campus visit. Will Wharton or the University of Pennsylvania sponsor me or provide a letter of support that I may use when I apply for a visa?
The university is unable to sponsor individual visits to the campus. The Office of International Programs, which handles visa and immigration issues at the university, may only support students who have been admitted to and intend to enroll at the school.
