    Anyone from Upenn??
    Hello everyone!

    This thread is simply calling out to all undergraduates/postgraduates, current students of University of Pennsylvania (Wharton). Mainly, I'd like to know:
    1) The course you chose to do in Upenn
    2) The courses you did in High School (IB/AP/Other)
    3) Important ECs
    4) Awards and recognition?
    5) Anything else that stood out/looked impressive on your app...?

    Thank You!

    (1) Did an MBA at Wharton
    (2) Did the IB - frankly, though, for MBA admissions, work exp, undergrad GPA and GMAT scores were more relevant
    (3) I raised my little sisters and was a fundraiser for medical charities
    (4) I won a full, national scholarship for undergrad in the UK, I was named to the High Performing Staff (HPS) program at work
    (5) I was the youngest-ever exec assistant to the CEO for 3 years in the Fortune 100 company I worked for

    Hope that helps.
