Welcome Weekend
Admitted students experience Wharton firsthand and begin the transition to student life.
Welcome Weekend is a long-standing tradition designed to introduce incoming MBA students to our faculty, facilities, and campus, and Philadelphia, and begin building your Wharton network with incoming classmates. Your partners and families are welcome—we host several tailored events that will help them to feel at home.
This three-day experience provides students with opportunities to engage with the Wharton from morning to the late hours. We want you to walk away knowing Wharton is your new home and the right environment for you. Winter Welcome Weekend is reserved for students accepted during Round 1. The Spring Welcome Weekend is held for those accepted in either Round 1 or Round 2.
Welcome Weekend offers sessions on:
- Academic Overviews
- Housing
- Financial Aid
- Industry Sessions
- Student Life
- Leadership
- Clubs
