<p>I know this sounds materialistic (sry), but how much money do Wharton graduates make? I guess I’m asking this for both the undergraduate degree and the MBA degree. Does business=money?</p>
<p>the average coming out of Wharton (I believe graduate school) was $115,000. Don't remember the site.</p>
<p>For undergraduates, it's $55,000.
However, the average signing bonus is like $12,000 and annual bonus of $20,000! Now that's ALOT of money for 21 year olds.
But remember, per hour it's not that much, because most of this money is from investment banking and they demand 80+ hours.</p>
<p>i hate you</p>
<p>i hate you eighteenforluck</p>
<p>I hate everything except muffins</p>
<p>seriously they're great</p>
<p>i like how in coolsushi's sentence, "coming out" is right by "wharton"</p>
<p>When Wharton = $$$ as being tied with investment bank analyst galloping 80+ hours, and you work till fun comes to die, the sensible alternative would probably be seeking Deep Springs Academics for one less dollar sign, and you work for the stuff you feel rightly positioned for you in the learning path to your career. After all, college is what you make of it. You find the pareto optimal balance of yourself, subject to your budgets.</p>
<p>As banks and consultants recruit for intelligence and brilliance in their off-spring harvest exercise across-the-board of colleges, and as knowing somebody in the recruiting lines is essential to getting top jobs, it seems to suggest that you save your funds by doing your best attainable recognition at places like Deep Springs, meantime spend some money to secure your (and that of your family's) relations with some known devils in the recruitment chains, then expect yourself to make a difference in the top job access. </p>
<p>After all, it might cost you a smaller budget than "coming out" from W.
Banks and consultants are knowledgeable of the fact that Deep Springs does train and produce tough personnels to fill up their pipelines. Cheers!</p>
<p>No, no, this is all a lie.</p>
<p>The whole "Wharton" thing is just hyped up. You'll end up like the average college student, working 50 hours a week in a grocery store for two years after college before you can find a real job.</p>
<p>Don't listen to these guys, they're just yanking your chain.</p>
<p>Disagreed. Sadly, college reputation helps big time for finding jobs.</p>

<p>pichet, are you a rep from deep springs or something? i mean i hear its a really demanding school and all, but it just doesnt sound FUN lol</p>
<p>if the average wharton student didn't do well in the job market, then there would be no need for the famous wharton junior internship...</p>
<p>and i know plenty of whartonites who got jobs at some of the best ibanks, consulting firms, and many other top companies.</p>
<p>Hello everyone. Wharton is uniquely super-elite business school. My earlier post suggested alternative to rejectees and/or infeasible applicants to wind in top (banking and consultancy) job prospects via a sound choice alternative. Without prejudice otherwise, I would consider Deep Springs to build up my great achievement in speech, writing, self governance in the first two years on $50,000 scholarship grant p.a. Assuming my talents, I would aim at transfer to Ivy-League schools that have had records with Deep Springs to complete my college degree, say in econ. This way, I pay for junior and senior years, after which I stand in the queue for top job entry.</p>
<p>I realize that Wharton has about 600 seats for freshman, and about 50 seats for soph transfers. Were I able to get admitted to W, then fine with it. If not, I must outline my alternative of similar expectancy. Meantime I would find a way to get acquaintance with my target employers. One way is to seek internship, or invest my fund (saved from first two-year college) with them to establish business relationship in favor of my future job seek.</p>
<p>No, I am not related to Deep Springs in any ways.</p>
<p>If you are serious, you need a citation (reference) for facts/figures. Coolsushicutter has offered one for Wharton grad school students. </p>
<p>The figures for Class of 2006 Wharton undergraduates may not be published. I know I do not have one. However, I understand (from unpublished sources) that $57,500 plus potential signing and annual bonuses is about right. Of course some jobs paid less and some a great deal more. It is also true that you have to work hard, but that can't be a surprise. For an undergraduate degree, and no post college experience, that's not bad.</p>
<p>Also remember that some Wharton undergrads continue their studies immediately at Penn and other schools. These are just the students that choose to accept job offers upon graduation with their Wharton undergraduate degrees. </p>
<p>Finally, many employers do recruit seniors, but Wharton students can often pick up offers from their junior interships so they are not actuallytalking to firms in senior year.</p>
<p>I posted idea of proceeding without intention of contesting the magnificent prestige of another school. My earlier post clearly put my view. Below info cited with my humble courtesy to Deep Springs College.</p>
<p>Deep Springers are generally successful in the transfer applications process. In the past 10 years, 16% of students transfered to Harvard, 13% to the University of Chicago, 7% to Yale and 7% to Brown. Other schools frequently attended after Deep Springs include Columbia, Oxford, Berkeley, Cornell and Stanford.</p>
<p>At only 26 students, Deep Springs is definately not a standard college for everyone.</p>
<p>The figures for the Class of 2006 are now available online <a href="http://www.vpul.upenn.edu/careerservices/wharton/surveys/Wharton2006Report.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://www.vpul.upenn.edu/careerservices/wharton/surveys/Wharton2006Report.pdf</a></p>
<p>Base salary range: 24,600 - 100K
Avg base salary: 57, 784
Avg sign on bonus: 9,446
Avg annual bonus (est): 28,021</p>
<p>also, being all-male, deep springs kind of leaves out the female business-minded student (or any-minded female student, for that matter)</p>
<p>WhartonAdvisor: What does the adcom primarily look at for wharton kids? I hear it is the SAT scores. Is this true? Can I have your opinion on this?</p>
<p>Excel, I already answered a similar question from you in July:</p>
<p>"WhartonAdvisor: Does the adcom pick out wharton students based on stats (SAT)? It seems like they do based off the high statistics for wharton. Is there a more in depth anaylsis of each applicant?"

<p>"Excel - of course there is a more in-depth analysis of each applicant. Boxes is right - the process is very holistic, thorough and looks at the entire applicant. You should contact your Regional Director if you have questions about the admissions process."
