Wharton Welcome Weekend Coming Up!
It's only a few days away... On Thursday, hundreds of admitted students will descend upon Wharton to judge for themselves whether the school is where they want to be. The preparation has been intense!
Months of preparation, I am not joking, go into these three little days. I remember from last year, when I attended the same event, thinking that they couldn't possibly expect us to attend every single thing on the agenda, but they were one step ahead of us. Committees of students had agonised over details such as the transit time from this event to that lecture, or from the drinks on campus to the international club dinners. With a military precision that would put the allied forces to shame, Wharton has prepared what probably amounts to its largest annual event.
Everyone here looks forward to it. Two truly huge parties and a sneak preview of our classmates for the coming year, along with the host of activities that many MBAs help out with make this a weekend we all feel intimately involved with. Personally, I'm going to be helping with the greeting and distribution of Welcome Weekend information packs, I'm hosting a student at my apartment, I'm on a student information panel, and I'm part of the team organizing the Friday night party, which is going to be huge, so I'm looking forward to it all!
