<p>I’m not exactly sure about what Wharton’s deal is. This is what I’ve gathered: In order to take business classes at UPenn, you must be accepted to Wharton. I’m certainly not going to UPenn next year, so what is the deal with going to Wharton for business school, after I graduate from a 4 year? Say I go to Univ of Maryland and graduate from there, how hard is it to get into Wharton business school after graduating with bachelor’s in say, business or political science or history?</p>
<p>Only asking because I can’t find any of this information on the Wharton website. Hook me up with the info?</p>
<p>Some may argue that getting into Wharton's MBA program is somewhat easier than getting admitted as an undergraduate. However, Wharton MBA really looks for applicants that have had real experience in the business world, usually 5+ years. So it's not something you can just enroll in after graduating from a four year.</p>

<p>WRONG. Any undergrad in SAS, SEAS, and Nursing can take Wharton classes. I myself am in SAS and have taken 2 Wharton classes to date. The only class you can't take is MGMT 100 seminar 1st semester (you can usually take it 2nd semester if you're so inclined to torture yourself with the class)</p>
<p>For most majors, only 4 will count towards your major. But you can take any number of wharton courses you want (just that they don't count towards graduation). Many people take more courses than they are required to anyways.</p>
<p>The best source of academic information is probably the school advising office, not the admissions office or Wharton alumni. Look at the College website (or SEAS or NURS).</p>
<p>You can take as many as you want, just 4 count towards your degree requirements. If you do a dual degree, then more than 4 can count towards your degree requirement (but I forget how many)...</p>
<p>What kind of work experience are we talking about here? A person could be like, a clerk or a secretary in some business office while they're in college and get 3-4 years of work experience right there, am I wrong?</p>
<p>No I mean like, a college kid who has a job on the side. I already know the answer to that question, I think lol. I just hate to think that I have to get a job right out of college for a few years before I can try to get into Wharton. And not only Wharton, pretty much any high-profile business school seems to require extensive business experience. Poop</p>
