1-1-1

The Wharton School's 1-1-1 initiative is a new program that will encourage Wharton MBAs to pledge 1% of their future earnings to help address the abject poverty of 1 billion people who live on less than $1 a day. This program is in the process of selecting the executive committee of students from...

DIP into snow

The dreaded Dedicated Interview Period (DIP) week is over! I can hear people exhaling from relief all around me. DIP is mostly for finance, consulting, and more established companies, but Wharton also has great resources for students that want to spend their summers at startups: http://entrepreneurship...

New Year (and new classes)

The fall semester finished with a bang, I did really well in my classes and performed best in stats and operations (definitely my two favorites. I've sent in one internship application (to IDEO) and will be sending out another 6 this week to other innovation firms and to innovation groups inside...

Turducken, Turducken, and more Turducken, please

This semester Wharton introduced me to world-renowned professors, engaging classmates, and oodles of leadership opportunities. However, I’m most smitten with my latest Wharton discovery: Turducken! Turducken is Kim Wong’s genius invention. It’s a turkey stuffed with duck stuffed with...

Love For Pub

Pub is a beloved Wharton tradition. Each Thursday, the entire student body convenes around 4:30 pm to devour pizza and guzzle motivational beverages. It’s my favorite part of the week. I see people I might not see otherwise, stuff my face with free food, and celebrate the onset of a three-day weekend...

Cool, cut-throat, kind people

Before the start of Pre-Term, a few Whartonites and I decided to meet at a surf camp in Costa Rica. We had never met each other before, but after a week of waves, we became the best of friends! I know, that sounds SUPER cheesy. But here's the thing - I was not expecting to make many friends at Wharton...

A Wharton MBA is a team sport...no matter how much you want to run with the ball, you've got to rely on your mates

Having been in Philly for nigh on six weeks now, and into 'real term' for two (as opposed to the glories of pre-term which I am sure others have covered by now), it has become increasingly clear that life is like, not a box of chocolates, but a game of rugby. Having recently also joined the rugby...

Almost at the End of Third Semester

So DIP week is now officially over! Due to the massive amount of snow we had during the week and half that was actually dedicated to recruiting, we had many interviews canceled and rescheduled to this past week. So alas, offers are starting to flow in for a greater proportion of the class. However, not...

Wharton's First Annual Community Service Day

On Saturday, Oct 3rd, we had Wharton's First Annual Community Service Day. About 300 Wharton students participated. We were split up into cohorts and assigned a community service task for the day. Some cohorts were painting classrooms, some were planting trees, and my cohort was selling lemonade...
