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?

Go the the business school's website and search academic calendar.

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.

Would 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.

Doesn't HBS have a pre-term in mid-late August called "Analytics?"

The Wharton pre-term sounds brutal. Hardcore classes in accounting, microeconomics, statistics, and a mandatory calculus exam for ALL incoming students that you have to pass before your regular classes start.
