Quarter Life Crisis

“The 3 most important criteria for admission are:

1. Academic performance
   • GPA (Wharton median = 3.5)
   • Major
   • Prestige/difficulty of university
2. GMAT (Wharton median = 710)
   • Composite
   • Quant 45 or greater (Wharton median = 47)
3. Work experience
   • Duration (Wharton median = 6 yrs)
   • Progression/performance

These 3 factors probably accounted for 80% of the decision to extend an interview.  About 35-40% of Wharton applicants get invited for an interview; then, 35-40% of those interviewed are admitted. “
