In February 2026, Wharton MBA is hosting 14 events, comprising 6 virtual events and 8 in-person events. Together, these sessions give prospective applicants multiple ways to engage with Wharton, ranging from structured admissions guidance and career-focused discussions online to immersive, on-the-ground experiences with students, alumni, and admissions representatives.
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.

As F1GMAT’s Lead Consultant and Essay Specialist, I will help you structure the essay by:
1) Incorporating your Personal Brand
I will help you find unique life experiences that would differentiate you from the highly competitive Wharton application pool.
2) Including Storytelling elements
I have developed a keen sense of storytelling from over a decade and a half of editing essays and writing essay examples for F1GMAT’s Essay Guides.

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.
