A bird's-eye view of Penn's campus provides a unique perspective on some of the University's iconic structures, such as Huntsman Hall, Franklin Field, and the brick pathways that lace College Green. Penn's beautiful urban campus stretches from Penn Park to 40th Street, and is open to all. Committed to sustainability and urban green space, the University plans to add more than 1,700 trees to campus by 2015. More than 500 have already been planted throughout Penn Park. The Park has increased the University's green space by 20 percent. It also has created a new gateway uniting West Philadelphia with Center City. As President Amy Gutmann said in September, during the park's grand opening: "Penn Park marks the first time that the University has, by design, developed open space for the use of the Penn community and beyond." For additional information on Penn's greening initiatives visit the Penn Green Campus Partnership website. More information: http://www.upenn.edu/spotlights/sky-v...

Huntsman Hall at Wharton We had an excellent conversation with Penn/Wharton's Colleen France, Associate Director for JD/MBA Recruitment & Administration. Colleen answered loads of questions, including the following two questions about JD/MBA career opportunities: Linda Abraham:  What are the typical careers that graduates of the Joint degree program go into and does it differ? Do you see some patterns developing in terms of career opportunities? Are they in any way different from the four year program if you are in the three year program? Colleen France: While we haven’t had any graduating classes yet, we did just have our first class go through their second year summers. What we found was about half of them went to law firms and the other half went to business internships. More of those that went to law firms went to New York firms to do corporate type law work, M&A, bankruptcy etc. Of those that went into business, a few went to private equity firms and restructuring firms... It does vary and we have a few people that split their summers between private equity and restructuring or between law firms and businesses. A few law firms in New York have fellowship programs with some of the major banks in New York, so those are definitely slots that the JD/MBA are looking at. ...What we have been seeing is those that do want to go into law, most of them are interested in doing a few years at a law firm and then making a switch over to business. Realizing that they are going to get really solid training as corporate lawyers or M&A lawyers or whatever it may be at some of the top firms in the world. Then taking those skills and utilizing them, maybe by going to a hedge fund, an investment bank, private equity or venture capitalist firm... Linda Abraham: Related to what we have been discussing, Andrew asks, "Now that the first class of the three year program is getting ready to graduate, how different is their transition into the job market than those of the four year program?" Colleen France: I would say that it is a little bit more straightforward. The issue with the four year program and I think the reluctance on the part of the law firms in the past to hire JD/MBAs is that if a student does their second summer at a law firm, they worry a little bit about whether they will come back next summer. They worry that they will go to a Wall Street bank or that they will go to the bank rather than come back to the firm. I think that what we are seeing is that in the three year programs, students certainly have the ability to explore their career option but have to come into the program strategically thinking about what they want to do when they get out at a much swifter pace.

Huntsman Hall at Wharton We had an excellent Q&A last week with Ankur Kumar and Anthony Penna, admissions directors at Wharton. The excerpt below provides an insider look at how the adcom readers approach your goal essays – how you should bridge your past and present experiences to what you'd like to be doing in the future. Linda Abraham: Ritin asks, “How strong of a connection or linkage is a candidate required to demonstrate between his current profile and his long-term goals, or at least his post-MBA goals, at the time of writing his application?” Ankur Kumar: What we are really trying to do is understand a candidate’s thought process and what they’ve been doing to move in the direction that they are headed. And what I mean by that is that coming to any business school, not just Wharton, is not the silver magic bullet to make all your dreams come true in two years and do all the hard work for you. It is a fantastic and incredibly transformative vehicle for you to get exposure to people and employers and industries and ways of thinking, and to test and refine it. I truly believe that the best candidates and the best business school students are those that have started this process of moving towards their goal well before they have come to business school, and for whom actually business school isn’t going to stop or start them from what they want to do. In terms of linking what you are currently doing to your goals, we certainly want to understand how they link and what the thought process is – why you have an interest in pursuing a certain field...what is it about your field or your experiences that excite you that make you want to stay in it? How do you want to develop in it? Or if you are looking to shift careers, where did that thought process come from? How did that come about? And of course, how have you been moving towards achieving those goals? ....So I would think about it more from that context than any, in terms of helping us understand what you’ve been doing and how that may link to what you want to do in the future. For the entire conversation, please view the transcript or listen to the complete audio file on our website. Do you need help demonstrating that "link" between your experiences and your goals?
