Question: Can Non-Wharton students join the club and get the same benefits? - Anonymous
Hi there, as a division sponsored organization, we operate on the same level as Wharton Council and Wharton Cohorts so our program offerings for non-Wharton students is limited. Our events are open to all undergrads, however, for the most part, our marketing and outreach efforts are primarily towards Wharton students. After our initial match round (~Late September), we may be able to evaluate our mentor availability and provide a match or referral to non-Wharton students.

Yes, we do. If you are a Wharton junior or senior, matches are guaranteed. Please check your email in the coming weeks from the Wharton Undergraduate Division for a survey to indicate your preferences for a MBA mentor.

Question: Do you match freshmen or sophomores with MBAs? - Anonymous
No. After conducting a number of pilots matching underclassmen with MBAs over the years, we have determined that the benefit to either group is marginal. We encourage freshman to apply for an upperclassman mentor through Wharton Cohorts and sophomores to apply for an alumni mentor through SAMP.
