Don't Be Such A Worry Whart

Ask yourself this as you unpack the bottles of tequila you hid from your parents during move-out: What sets a Whartonite apart from every other graduate student? If you answered "lack of a soul," you'd be wrong. Well, that's what the Wharton administrators would say.
According to U.S. News and World Report, admissions officers emphasize that Wharton applicants need not have all the work experience in the world but must (wait for it) have a strong sense of identity and be able to identify their strengths and weaknesses. Psh. Boring.
But it gets better. When asked to describe the typical student at the school, admissions officers said that Whartonites are passionate about their work and dedicated to "having an impact." We agree that the poster-child of W-ton, Donald Trump, perfectly embodies these ideals.
Oh Wharton, you so crazy.
