Wharton Pre-Term
On Sunday, August 12th Wharton Pre-Term
began. Usually when I say that I get 2
questions, 1 – how can school start on a Sunday? And 2 – What is pre-term? So let me debrief.
First thing, I’m realizing that once you sign up for
bschool, anywhere, you basically sign your life away. It’s not that they will take away alllll my
weekends…but theres A LOT to do in SUCH little time. On the first day on Pre-term, a Sunday, we
just spent it meeting people in our Cluster* and then off to a reception…and by
reception that means food and alcohol..which was really fun. It was great meeting allll these new people
from all over the world….I keep learning all these random new fun facts…like
how weapons (outside of authorities) are NOT allowed in Singapore…or how I can get
free dinner (and of course recruiting advice) from my peers at Wharton
returning back to their consulting gigs.

The last few days have been a whirlwind. You really can get caught up in FOMO (Fear of
Missing Out). These last
few days have been filled with a Calc Class (everyone at Wharton has a to take
a math exam..something I'm just finding out), Cluster meetings for
orientation information (like how to register for class), Community
Building (planning for the Cluster Olympics) and I’m personally taking an
“Intro to Accounting Class”…with a professor that is so hilarious. He actually has made accounting
interesting...I’m still shocked. Overall
it’s been really fun…and busy (in a good way) and even at this moment I’m
sitting here FOMO’ing about what I’m missing out on as I write this blog. Finally, this upcoming weekend there is a leadership
retreat (yes…we have mandatory events on a Saturday and Sunday)….so we can meet
our learning team*. This is ALSO a
surprise (that is all anyone knows…I don't even know where we are going)..and
that's pretty much all I can say about that.
After that…my obligations will be Mon-Fri until Pre-term is over…and then
once class REALLY starts..Mon-Thurs…did I ever mention that Wharton doesn’t have
class on Fridays? :-D
*Cluster - Wharton is basically 840 students...so there are 4 clusters of ~210 students. And then within Clusters you are split into Cohorts of about ~60-70 students.
*Learning Team - group you work with with through Core Classes
