Hi guys,
Can you give us your two cents on Wharton's new reapplicant essays for 2011? https://www.wharton.upenn.edu/mba/admiss ... edures.cfm
So far, it looks like they are the same the regular essays. Do you think they will re-read the old app and recommendations? Should we pick one of the essays, such as the Failure one, to explain what has improved in our application (by treating the lack of admission at Wharton as a failure), or just let things be and apply as if we are doing it for the first time - by answering the questions overall? Do you have any tips on these new essays for reapplicants?

They should compliment your original essay, as they will still have access to them in your file. Hope this helps. PS I would not use not being admitted to Wharton as your failure, FYI... They are looking for a more real-world example.

If you are re-application - I urge you to find an admissions consultant and first get your Ding Analysis done. The feedback will help you and significantly improve your application.

Good Luck!
