In January 2026, the Wharton School is hosting four MBA-related events, comprising three virtual events and one in-person event. Together, these sessions are designed to give prospective candidates a clear view of the Wharton MBA experience, with particular emphasis on deferred enrollment pathways, student perspectives, and direct engagement with admissions.
In-Person Visit
The in-person event takes place on 29 January in London, UK, with the MBA Access One-to-One MBA Event. This session allows prospective students to meet directly with Wharton admissions representatives through personalized, one-on-one conversations, offering tailored insights into the Full-Time MBA program and individual application strategies.

It is easy to comment, but it is tough to structure the essay from the perspective of the applicant and turn the essay into a winning application essay.
3) Aligning with the Culture of the School
A big part of editing and guiding applicants is in educating them about the culture of the school
Some schools have very ‘specific’ traits that they are looking for in an applicant.
If you don’t highlight them and lean towards general leadership or cultural narratives, the essay won’t work.
I will guide you through the writing process.
I will also iteratively edit the essays without losing your original voice.
