Ok monkeys. If there are any current Wharton students or alums who have been to beach week, give us some JUICY details. It sounds like it's batshit crazy and fun, much moreso than any undergrad party I've been to. Was there a lot of hooking up? Were the Wharton people BALLING out of control in Miami?

Showoff!
Do wharton people also have mad swagger? Or just above-average swagger?
"what to wear" is simply awesome. Elite B-school people can go on to run billion $$$ companies but yet not figure out what to wear on vacation I love it.
"There are few places in the US that scream baseball more than Florida. Home to the Grapefruit League (MLB’s pre-season) and many of baseball’s spring trainings, Florida and baseball go together almost as well as Wharton guys and Asian fetishes. In this vein, we are SO excited to host our welcome reception in the stadium of MLB’s Miami Marlins!!"
What does Wharton have against Asian fetishes? Nobody in Florida gives a shit about the Marlins, as evidenced by the lack of need for a full stadium.
OP, are you virgin?
HA! sb
Lol, US student parties...
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this is completely made up by some students, because it's not a regular event and that website reeks of sophomoric language and ideas.
Also, in "what to wear," having "no swimsuits" in your Don'ts section really doesn't work for something called "Beach Week." Gotta love it.
I'm assuming you don't know any Wharton MBAs.
So HBS beach week was a little edgier and allowed bathing suits?
Why would I want to?
Oh is this an MBA thing? In that case I stand corrected, though I would venture to guess that the only thing worse than having to go to school with the kind of people who go to Wharton undergrad is having to go to school with the kind of people who go to Wharton grad.
Wharton kids know what alcohol is? This is news to me.
The concern about hooking up was a bit virgin esque. that sentence alone has to be a violation.
Wait, is Wharton Beach Week or HBS Beach Week more prestigious?
Dude, I've been to the bar when Wharton is having a party. It isn't as insane as you think. Go to beach week when USC or Arizona State UG's are showing up and then we'll talk.
what did you people do in high school and college that you think b-school is the ultimate party
I went to a college with smart overachiever dorks. I probably went out on average 2-3 times PER semester. And the parties were really lame. I only had 1 girlfriend in college.
@mbavsmfin.... gotcha. If it makes you feel better, that's probably why guys like me have always been playing catch up to guys like you, to an extent. Still though, a part of me just died inside on your behalf.
Either way, a week in south beach > a week at work
Well, I don't regret my college choice at all. But yeah in terms of girls and social life it was definitely lacking. I guess that's the price you pay. Either way, I'm definitely looking forward to going to b-school and having the social life I missed out on. I guess it's the last hurrah before we go back into the real world and assume responsibilities.
This has to be Brady, I haven't cringed so much in ages...
Anyone else think we should launch a kickstarter campaign to help this mbavsmfin guy acquire some game? I really think it's in the best interest of this little community that he doesn't have to resort to dropping the "Wharton bomb" at mixers... I'm willing to kick in $50...
xoxo
Don't need to kick in money for this, just bring a video camera and film the fails and mash the clips up and sell them. Why spend money when we can make it.
Wharton MBAs get into it. It goes to UVA.
Awesome! Do they actually party with hot UVA sorority girls? I'm sure the Wharton MBA guys are considered an awesome catch, especially compared to state school frat guys!
What 19 year old girl cares about a Wharton mba? Shes more concerned about the guys looks than his brain.
I see -- you want this broken down in vivid detail.
All you need to do is picture a black Wharton jacket rubbing repeatedly up and down against one of those ugly-ass sorority jackets with the greek letters on them. You pick which letters. I'm sure my list of which sororities are the most preftizhous is way out of date, if it ever actually existed in the first place.
This thread exceeded my expectations.
By alot.
So I´ll be attending W with this troll, who knows if some months from now we´ll have videos of him dropping the W bomb on 19 yos. I bet he might have sex once or twice during the 2 years.
But Brady went to Penn undergrad and mbavsmfin says he went to HYP. On the other hand they both blissfully ignore people mocking them openly. It's a tough call...
As I said multiple times, I'm not brady.
I'm 99% sure that mbavsmfin is not Brady, notwithstanding the personality resemblance. You'll notice that in pretty much all of Brady's posts he made his "I's" lowercase when used in the middle of a sentence, but mbavsmfin doesn't follow that typing convention, and it's unlikely that Brady would suddenly have picked up on that tell since it was consistent across his many accounts during his WSO tenure.
I'm kind of a Brady4MVP expert here...I was one of his biggest fans.
I don't know about that. Here's a Brady alt last year:
So with round 1 mba admissions cycle starting to get into full gear, a lot of applicants are very anxious. I recently had a chance to catch up with an old friend of mine who just graduated from a top 5 business school and was a student member of the adcom. After talking about a lot of random stuff, I asked him about mba admissions and for his thoughts on the process. Since he graduated, he was able to give more details than usual. I'm gonna paraphrase what he said in quotes regarding a few issues that I brought up.
"I actually think people underestimate how important the gmat is. At our school, applicants who scored 730+ were put in a separate pile from the rest, and those who scored 760+ got special attention. Of course in no way does a high score guarantee admissions, but what I found was that adcom members were much more willing to give applicants a benefit of the doubt when they had high stats. So for instance, if someone had a 3.8/770 but had mediocre extracurriculars or even less than amazing essays, they were given a lot of leeway. I was surprised by this since adcom always say in public that the process is holistic and that we look at multiple factors. But I think the top programs are trying to be more serious academically and get really bright people; gmat will become even more important in the near future, in my view."
"Essays are certainly important but overrated. It's actually really tough to write essays that are so good that they can switch you over from ding/waitlist to admit. Basically the essays would need to be not just superbly well-written but contain stories/experiences that are quite compelling and unique. Not too many applicants have those stories. So a lot of the essays we read sound all the same. And it's obvious that many of them use consultants to craft their stories. I know this goes against conventional wisdom, but i think a high gmat score can do a lot more for one's chances than essays."
"You have to realize that most adcom officers are women who got liberal arts degrees and don't know much about trading. They know the big names in finance and consulting obviously, but that's about it. A very successful trader from a prop shop for instance will have high hurdle. First they wonder if this person is so good at trading, why does he need an MBA? More importantly though, they feel that traders don't bring the type of skillsets from their work that can add much value to an MBA class discussion. They LOVE MBB consultants and PE folks precisely for this reason, along with of course strong connections with these firms. So a trader really has to go outside of the box and do something interesting outside of work to get in."
"To be honest I think they're a joke. And I know quite a few adcom members who feel the same way. If you're a non-native english speaker and can't write essays, then yeah you might need some serious guidance. But by and large, I don't see what value they're adding. They will help brainstorm some topics you can discuss. After you write the essays, they will recommend ways to improve them, but none of that really has an impact on admissions. If your professional and personal experience have been boring, even the world's best consultant can't help you out on that front. If I were to spend money, I would much rather hire a good GMAT tutor than waste it on admissions consultants who bring very little value. The whole industry is a semi-scam."
Maybe mbavsmfin really is actually Brady pretending to be IlliniProgrammer pretending to be Brady...
LOL...I mean, I'm not sure where you got that from, but I was able to spot almost all of Brady's alternate accounts almost as soon as he created them, so I'm pretty confident on my general assessment. It's possible he had multiple personalities, but I doubt it. But I will submit that there's a 1% chance we have a classic mind f*ck situation going on as you alluded to.
Disagree, I think it's IP pretending to be brady pretending to be mbavsmfin. Brady is a perfect foil to IP's excessive asceticism, and I'm guessing the Brady/mbavsmfin characters are an expression of IP's subconscious yearning for prestige and pussy slaying.
It's sort of scary that you analyze people's grammatical structure. I personally know Brady and still talk to him over gchat about once a week; we do have similar personality traits and interests, so I guess that sort of shows up in my posts. But I'm not Brady, and I'm tired of trying to convince people I'm not. So think what you want.
You talk to yourself over gchat? How does that go?
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I am one scary dude. Not as scary as putting up some school logo as an avatar, but I do what I can.
LOL at guys getting their dicks wet because of Bankrella's return, even senior guys like SirTrades.
Auntie a bit too old? I prefer sorority chicks, sorry!
I don't think you know what "getting one's dick wet" means...
Lol.
Awesome thread outcome. Remember dude to "Dress to Impress".
This thread delivers more consistently than UPS.
Definitely IP pretending to be mbavsmfin pretending to be Brady.
This thread has it all...subscribed
Why front 150k for an m7 program in order to name-drop your way into panties when you can hire 150 1k hookers?
This thread is amazing.
WSO Mods do a IP check of Brady and this mbavsmfin.
You know who gets laid at bars? Dudes with a personality and a ball sack to talk to women. If you are talking about business school, your job, political opinions or anything beyond light and funny you've already lost.
Who the fuck goes out wanting to have a serious conversation. Geez. And I wouldn't get to hard of a hard-on about Wharton. I actually know a bunch of W MBA's without jobs right now. Not some magical golden ticket.
Not shitting on it, but an MBA as some gateway to getting laid is laughable.
Bro, don't kill the dream.
oh lawd, that website can't be real. from the faq section: "Does anyone in Miami speak english?"
i hope to god my future coworkers aren't like this (no offense OP)
lol @ that website, didn't know wharton was for such betas. beach week is supposed to be a blast, not some networking event. and lol if you need to name drop your mba to pick up bishes.
brb druunk sloots looking for a good time left and right on beach, on the dance, basically everwhere brb wrap it up and be a sick kunt for week
I think someone got lost on their way to BB.com Misc
