Enrollment Highlights
U.S. Race & Ethnicity*
*The Wharton School follows federal guidelines from the Department of the Interior for collecting data on race and ethnicity. This allows applicants who are U.S. Citizens and permanent residents to self-identify their ethnicity and race with the option to select more than one race and/or ethnicity. The Federal Guidelines column reflects all students who identify as Hispanic/Latino and any other race as Hispanic/Latino only. Students who identify with more than one race are represented as Multi-Race only. The Multi-Dimensional column reflects students’ full racial and ethnic identities to better represent the multiple identities shared in their application, so this column adds up to more than 71% as students may be represented in more than one row.
| Federal Guidelines Reporting | Multi-dimensional Reporting | |
| Black/African American | 6% | 6% |
| Hispanic/Latinx | 8% | 8% |
| Native American | 0% | 0% |
| Asian American | 20% | 21% |
| White | 33% | 39% |
| Multi-race | 1% | 0% |
| Did not report | 3% | 3% |
Data represents the 71% of students that are U.S. passport holders only. Percentages are calculated out of 866 students.
Interdisciplinary and Dual Degree Programs
The Wharton MBA offers three fully integrated, interdisciplinary programs: the Lauder MBA/MA Joint Degree in International Studies, the Carey JD/MBA Program, and the MBA in Health Care Management. Our deferred admission program, The Moelis Advance Access Program, offers both undergraduate and full-time master’s students in their final year of study a guaranteed pathway to the Wharton MBA after pursuing two to four years of quality work experience.
Average Work Experience
While Wharton MBA students have an average of 5 years of work experience, there is no minimum or maximum years of experience to apply to the program. We encourage those interested in applying to the Wharton MBA program to quantify their experiences and show us how and why they were impactful in their career — regardless of how many years of experience they bring with them to the program.
Undergraduate Education & Test Scores
There is no minimum GMAT or GRE score requirement to apply to the Wharton MBA program, and we don’t have a preference for one test over another. The GMAT average represents only GMAT scores from the legacy exam.
