Around a week back I had this long conversation with a Wharton Graduate, who happens to be an alumni of my college. I am just pasting my rough notes from that call.
· Most of the people do an MBA for switching careers. So not having a major in that subject does not matter much. It may matter though for streams like finance.
· HBS specializes in Strategy. People do a set of courses which are across different areas of business. Thus, it touches all aspects of business.
· Wharton looks at a little higher work experience as compared to HBS and some other schools.
· Wharton looks for candidates who are intellectually strong. Have a vision about where they are headed, have a solid work experience and have the ability to contribute to the society.
· For people looking at a career in Biz Dev and marketing the bigger issue is not that you don’t have relevant work experience but, how much knowledge of the market(in which you are gonna work after graduation) you have?
Hope it helps some fellow applicants.
