Prospective Students
One of the dominant priorities for Wharton Women In Business continues to be encouraging more women to pursue and obtain a MBA. We approach this goal through a robust calendar of outreach efforts, all of which reinforce the open lines of communication that exist between prospective students and current students of Wharton. Please visit our upcoming events page for a detailed description of activities for prospective students.
2007-2008 activities include:
Email Buddy Program
Pair up with a current female Wharton student who can answer all of your questions via email. This program is administered on a rolling basis throughout the year. If you are interested, please e-mail Shiva Mirhosseini, shivam@wharton.upenn.edu, with a brief description of your educational/professional background, post-MBA career aspirations, and interests while at Wharton. The information will be used to match you with a current student who has similar experience and interests.
