<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I am planning to apply to Penn's M&T program. But I felt that my "management "part is quite weak, so I don't if I'm really competant.</p>
<p>What qualities or experiences are considered good for a potential career in business?( If I match few, I would consider not applying for M&T at all...)</p>
<p>Any advice is welcome!
Thanks!</p>
<p>A typical student at Wharton begins his day at 5:30 AM by going to the gym and directing improvements on his plan to increase profits by using West Philadelphia residents as cheap labor. They then check their portfolio, communicating with three hedge fund managers on three continents, making use of their Chinese, Japanese and Russian, angrily cursing at the manager that only had a 15% return for the month. They then meticulously triple check their homework for the 8 classes they are in, and attend class from 8 AM to 6 PM. They take perfect notes in the front row of the class while guarding them to make sure no other student can even take a glance at their perfect expression of the professor’s knowledge. After classes, the typical Wharton student will give himself 5 minutes to lament at the A- they received in advanced Corporate Valuation, and to curse the fact that they had forgotten to tear out the appropriate pages of the textbooks on reserve. After attending the meetings of Wharton Finance, Wharton Investment, Wharton Real Estate, Wharton Investment, Wharton Hedge Fund and Wharton Venture Capital, all of which he is a board member of, he retreats to his penthouse apartment where he prepares to enjoy a dinner cooked by his servant. After yelling at his servant for under cooking the filet mignion, he begins his homework at 11:30 PM. He finishes early at 4:30 AM, thus giving himself the rare luxury of an hour’s sleep.</p>
<p>^^ that’s not the typical wharton student!! that is a description of a lazy one! haha</p>
<p>Is like ripping pages out of textbooks common? My dad told me about people in college doing that… I thought he was joking</p>
<p>No, that doesn’t really happen here.</p>
<p>lol 10char</p>
<p>Ha Ha! Really funny^^</p>
<p>But really, what do those competitive Wharton prospectives do in high school. Do they all ran their own businesses like websites or something?</p>
