Wharton M.B.A. Apps Drop, Fewer Husband Prospects For All Of Us
September 28, 2013 at 1:00 pm
Sorry to ruin your weekend, Whartonites, but it looks like you're slipping down the business school food chain. According to a recent Wall Street Journal article, applications to Wharton’s prestigious M.B.A. program have dropped 12% in the last four years. Applicants are apparently ditching the free printing and looking to schools like Stanford and Harvard.
Why the shift? Possible explanations lie with Wharton’s reputation as a "finance school" in a climate where students are now focusing on technology and entrepreneurship. But we can do technology! Unfair much?
Hopefully we return to our rightful spot at the top soon. We would hate to see all those neat "I Met My Spouse at Penn" buttons go to waste.
