MBA Admissions

The World MBA Tour is organized by QS Top MBA to give applicants an opportunity to meet admission officers and alumni at several countries. On September 12 it was Mexico City’s turn and a lot of eager applicants came to the event. Wharton was one of the most sought after stands, were we got questions from over 80 people in a four hour time frame. It was interesting and a lot of fun talking to prospective students with strong interest in Wharton and even college students getting ahead of themselves. Thanks to Oscar Diaz, Gerardo Hamilton and Mari Carmen Negrete for their help and enthusiasm in managing the table.

Once a year the Admission office holds an information session in several cities all over the world. Leslie Friedman came to Mexico City on September 21st to give a bunch of enthusiastic applicants a small taste of Wharton. We got an excellent response, with well over 70 people crowding the room. After the presentation it was time for alumni to share our experiences and views of Wharton. Rodrigo Peredo (WG05), Paola Salman (WG04), Mari Carmen Negrete (WG03), Ignacio Aguillo (WG03), Oscar Díaz (WG96), Gerardo Hamilton (WG80) and Samuel Nanes (WG78) were happy to answer all kind of questions from the crowd. The event exceeded everyone’s expectations, we are hoping to get a very qualified pool of Mexican applicants to conform the class of 08.
