The Wharton School is the business school of the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, ennsylvania. It was established in 1881 through a donation of Joseph Wharton and is the world’s first collegiate business school. It is widely considered to be one of the world's preeminent business schools.
Alone and in conjunction with the other schools and colleges of the university, Wharton grants B.S. and MBA degrees, offers a Ph.D. program,and houses or co-sponsors several diploma programs. With the most electives of any business school,Wharton's MBA program offers concentrations in accounting, business and public policy, entrepreneurial management, environmental management, finance, health care systems, human resource and organizational management, insurance and risk management, legal studies and business ethics, management, marketing, multinational management, operations and information management, real estate, retailing, statistics and strategic management.
Since the 1990s, the popular and financial press has consistently ranked Wharton as one of the world's top institutions for business education. Moreover, it has been ranked the best business school in the world by the Financial Times in every year in which the newspaper has ranked business schools until 2010, when London Business School overtook the top spot (in 2005 and 2009, it tied for first place with Harvard Business School and London Business School respectively). Wharton usually receives the highest reputation scores from academics and recruiters. According to Forbes, approximately 90% of billionaires with MBAs obtained their master's degree from one of three Ivy League schools: Harvard Business School, Columbia Business School, or Wharton.
The school currently has 278 faculty members, translating to a 17:1 student-to-faculty ratio.

The counselors were really great. They made me understand my weak points, focussed my preparation for GMAT rather than generic preparation which happen with other institutes. I am grateful to GMAT Delhi to provide me with such a tailor made preparation material and excellent CAT based GMAT practice papers. Even after GMAT exams the experience of Pankaj and Aditya Sir helped me gain admit to Cox with whopping $56,000 scholarship.
