H/S/W Start Date

Hey All,

I can't seem to find the official "start" dates for Harvard, Stanford, and Wharton. I've been invited to a wedding the weekend before Labor Day and I'd hate to have to miss my first class or any pre-class events. Can anybody point me to the appropriate resource?

Thanks Gekko. Guess I'm terrible at identify appropriate search terms.

No problem.

shorttheworlddid you get into all 3? :P
Yep -- and now I'm trying to select which one to attend based on program start date. I just looked up Wharton and it seems like they have a 3-week "pre-term", which definitely messes with my planned pre-MBA vacation. Guess I'll need to cross Wharton off the list.

Seriously though -- just want to determine what I'd miss if I were to attend my friend's wedding.

He won't find out until March, he is just checking dates.

ke18sbWould you really consider missing a good friends wedding for a class or two. That sounds like a regret later in life.
No, I wouldn't -- but this isn't a good friend. That said -- I would like to go to the wedding cause I do really like the couple.

You mean you don't wanna miss the free cake right?
