A fascinating look inside the Wharton School The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania is the number-one undergraduate business program in the United States. Every autumn, five hundred of the world's best, brightest and most driven students enter the school, where they will spend the next four years battling it out with classmates in rigorous exams graded on an unyielding curve. They will try to outwit one another in the contest to win the most prestigious internships, and in their senior year, these young bulls will put their hard work and the $120,000 investment in their education to the ultimate test during a gruelling ten-week-long recruiting rush. In The Running of the Bulls, financial reporter Nicole Ridgway takes you inside the ivied walls of Wharton and into the maelstrom of the Class of 2004's recruiting season, through the eyes of seven seniors with a broad range of backgrounds and career paths. Along the way, each of these students endures high-pressure interviews and faces the ultimate decision about selecting a job that will either set them on the fast track to success or lead their nascent careers to a dead end. Gripping, insightful, and provocative, The Running of the Bulls is a fast-paced portrait of the high-stakes game Wall Street plays when choosing its next generation of leaders.
