  • Professional Update
    From: prabal.sidana  Feb 21, 2012 Posts 2

    Hello,

     

    I am a R2 applicant from India. Last week I received a promotion at work and now, I have moved to a higher band within the organisation. Does Wharton accept such professional updates? If yes, then how do I send this information to the admissions committee? 

    I was promoted to a higher band in a very short span of time as compared to my peers, and I'd like to give a few more details about this to the committee.

     

    Thanks,

    Prabal

    Prabal,

    If invited to interview, you could provide the update at that time (that would be best). In theory you could also mail that information to the Admissions Office, but there is no guarantee that it will be received and processed in time before an interview decision is made in your case (if not already made).

    More often than not, the qualities that led to a promotion should stand out in other application materials, as well, so ask yourself if the marginal benefit of providing such an update is worth it in your case.

    Thanks Victor for your help. I think it would be better if I update them of my status at the interview stage.

    Regards,

    Prabal
