Current at wharton mba for exec. Can confirm more than 50% students had 700 on gmat in my cohort. You can get away with no GMAT only if you have certain years of experience (15 years I think?) with executive assessment.

Wharton Admissions team will be very open with your chance and actually encourage / discourage you to apply - this is why you also see higher acceptance rate because admissions will stop people from applying if they really have no shot (unlike full time).

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?
