We are excited to inform you that Wharton has admitted over 100 applicants from the Bay Area to the MBA Class of 2007! The Wharton Club of Northern California will be hosting a happy hour and welcome reception for these admits, and we would like to invite you to join us at Wharton West on Wednesday, April 20th for an opportunity to meet these phenomenal people.

Make plans now to come next Wednesday evening and help show one of the best parts of Wharton--our alumni network--in its best light. A key factor in their decisions about where to attend is the quality of a business school's alumni network. We are competing with Stanford, HBS, Kellogg, and other top business schools for these admits, and having a strong showing of enthusiastic Wharton alumni for the admits to meet can make all the difference.

Here is a quick update on statistics from Rounds 1 and 2: Average GMAT - 714 • Average GPA - 3.5 • Average Age - 28.0 • Female - 34% • International - 34% • U.S. Permanent Residents - 6.8%

The details of the reception are as follows:
Date: Wednesday, April 20
Time: 6:00 - 9:00 pm
Location: Wharton West
101 Howard Street, Suite 500, San Francisco, CA 94105

We will serve appetizers as well as wine and non-alcoholic beverages at our hosted bar for this event. Note that the WCNC and Wharton will be partially subsidizing alumni attending this happy hour.

$10 for WCNC alumni
$10 for guests of Wharton alumni
