Congratulations to the new R2 Wharton admits.

Feel free to contact us first year students with any questions you might have.

I hope to meet you all during the coming Wharton Welcome Weekend (worth the long flight).

Cheers,

I thought the following article should motivate everyone.

Good Luck.

Starting M.B.A. Salaries Are Rising — Business-School Graduates See Pay Packages Improve Amid Increased Recruiting

FOR THE FIRST TIME since the dot-com bust, business-school graduates are being offered stellar pay packages.

Officials at top business schools report that during this fall's recruiting season, salary offers and signing bonuses for M.B.A.s jumped significantly, especially for those seeking jobs as investment bankers and consultants.

And executives at major firms on Wall Street and elsewhere say they are hiring more people and returning to campuses this fall with more full-time offers to meet their growing business needs.

After remaining relatively stagnant since 2001, total compensation for M.B.A.s is matching the record levels of pay hit during the peak of the dot-com boom, according to the most recent survey by TopMBA.com, an online recruiting and education site. According to the survey, companies report that the average M.B.A. salary went above $82,000 in 2004, up more than 9% from 2003.

Among the M.B.A.s seeing the biggest increases: those with a focus on management consulting and finance. Average salaries in finance increased 21% to $98,477 in 2004 from $81,144 in 2003, while average salaries for management consultants jumped 16% to $86,233 during the same period, according to the survey.

The generous compensation packages come amid stronger economic signs. Banks and consulting firms — some of which had slashed their work force in recent years — are looking to boost their ranks.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc., for example, said it plans to hire roughly 200 M.B.A.s from the class of 2005, a 30% increase from the year before. Bain & Co., a Boston consulting firm, is hiring a "record" level of M.B.A.s, says David Sanderson, head of global recruiting.

"The consulting firms have led the charge," with base salaries rising about 10%, says Al Cotrone, director of career development at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. General management firms have also raised average salaries, he says, to $90,000 and above, after holding steady at about $85,000.

At Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business, the average consulting salary for an M.B.A. graduate peaked at $110,000 in 2001, then fell to $100,000 in 2002, says Richard McNulty, director of the career-development office. Today, graduates are seeing consulting salaries up to $120,000, with sign-on bonuses ranging up to $30,000.

"The mood in my class is very optimistic," says Tracy Long, a second-year student at Stanford Graduate School of Business. "Most people have an offer" from the firms that employed them before they went back to school or as summer interns this year.

The increased competition has forced some firms back to campus to make more hiring offers or raise their bids. When Sean Huss, a second-year M.B.A. student at Michigan, started interviewing for investment banking jobs this fall, he heard that one bank was topping offers from all the others — but many of the banks soon followed suit. The firm that employed him as an intern last summer and then offered him a job has since revised its initial offer to match the going rate, he says.

Another good sign: Some banks are guaranteeing bonuses for a graduate's first year of employment, says Julie Morton, associate dean of M.B.A. career services at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business. An M.B.A.'s first year of employment is typically a short one, since many start working in the middle of the calendar year. During the economic downturn, not many firms were willing to guarantee those hires a year-end bonus.

This year, the school's M.B.A.s have been seeing median base salaries in investment banking close to $95,000 this year, up from the average of about $85,000 for the past three years.

Meanwhile, sign-on bonuses are running closer to $25,000 to $30,000 for the current M.B.A. class, up from about $20,000 last year, she notes.

I sent only employer and Bank statements, both in English. I received my FA letters so in Wharton's case it is enough.

You should ask your bank to provide a translated statement describing your financial records and stating that you don't owe anything as far as it knows.
Regarding the costs, I didn't pay a thing as far as I know…

The Winter Welcome Weekend is a new event for the 1st round admits.

It provides an opportunity to meet other admit students and take part in many different activities before deciding whether to attend (we have a lot of time to decide).

The main difference is that the new event was during a regular week, in which we could visit classes and get a feeling of student life in Wharton, rather than in a special weekend dedicated for celebrations.

I enjoyed the event and it certainly strengthened my desire to attend Wharton's program.

The second welcome weekend is open for both rounds.

Thanks Assaf.

The commission (with Bank Hapoalim) is $20 and it is a simple procedure.

Now it's time to send the envelope :-)

אני נדרש להעביר לאוניברסיטה אליה התקבלתי סכום של 1000$ בצ'ק או במזומן ובצרוף מסמכים שונים. היות וצ'ק ישראלי לא בדיוק מהווה אופציה אני צריך למצוא דרך טובה להעברת המזומן.
דרך בנק הדואר התהליך (העברת מזומן) יקר ומסובך, ו-Fedex, DHL וברינקס לא מספקות שרות מתאים.

עצות?

Does anyone know whether it is common to wear a business suit to interviews with alumni here in Israel?

Although it is better to be over-dresses than under-dressed, I still think that it may be inappropriate in different situations.

I totally agree with Assaf.

The GMAX course was even better than I expected.
I cannot compare it to other GMAT courses, but the fact is that it worked for me and for all the others in my course.

I think that for someone who works full-time a course can provide a demanding environment that “forces” to study hard.

As Assaf mentioned, you can add the networking and conferences that GMAX arranges to the total value of the course.

Good Luck !

Hello,

While researching a University to pursue my graduate studies, Cornell clearly came to mind as one of the top business schools in the United States. In addition to choosing the right candidates, what do you think makes Cornell as successful as it is?

Q: My background is in technology and I would like my MBA to specialize in technology and finance – although I have no formal backround in finance. Would I be at a disadvantage against a candidate with a pure finance degree?
