Calling all Wharton Fall 2010 Candidates

In my case, I submitted on 9/30 at 9 am and the recos were sent one on 9/4 and the other on 9/27...


The decision was available as of today

I think they mentioned on the Wharton Forum that it doesn't matter when you submit your application. It depends on when your app was reviewed. It could go through 1 reader quickly, and then sit for sometime with another reader....I haven't gotten an invite either, but checking every 5 seconds doesn't help me forget about it

I got the interview invite! Just logged in the application website as suggested by someone in the businessweek forum I didn't receive any email yet.

I submitted my appln on 9/29
My recos were submitted between 9/23 and 9/27

Congrats to the two who have them so far.

I'm still waiting/hoping.

I fear I am gonna ruin my F5 button....shud plug my crappy external keyboard for those crazy times....

I dun wanna break my precious laptop

Dude,

They have said everywhere that they usually take the whole interview invite period to issue interviews. I would go home, work on your MIT app which is due next Tuesday and get some beers over the weekend...

I know it's easier said than done, but if not you are going to ruin your heart and your hair before time.....That's the approach I took for Stanford, If they want me they will call me if not, well...there are always other schools...

Hey Bostonarmyguy and latammc!!

Congrats!! Well done! Can you guys tell us when did your submission was sent (along with recos)? So that we can do some maths to figure out where our application mite me in the queue!!

Thanks a lot!

Gud luck wid the interviews....and keep us updated.

Cheers!

In response to the above, I sent in my app Sep. 22nd (so early) and my final letter of recommendation came in on the 29th.. and actually I realized after the deadline that there the application was missing my last two grades senior spring, so I had to call the admissions people and resend them the file, on October 2nd.

Anyway, don't worry, according to everything I've heard and read, they tend to be slower in sending out interview invitations than HBS..

Yeah true! My MIT app is almost done except the cover letter...which needs work...I have no clue what a good cover letter shud sound like...

no invite for me (but not surprised or even sad strangely?)
does anyone know if they will even send more today? or is it like a "we update our system at 9 AM and then we're done" thing.

Look at the bright side - they have not said "no".

It usually takes some time to send them all out - they need to read all the apps, discuss them, make the decision, etc. -there are a lot of things to consider. So, obviously, these things are not done in haste, and a healthy delay is natural.

I'd like to be added to roll call also, sorry for the late join. Thanks.

Nothing either. Here comes the second guessing. Should I have picked that recommender? Was my essay really that bad? Should I have participated in the Pumpkin Patch contest and added that as an extracurricular?

I submitted my stuff early. App was in on the 29th and recs were in by the 20th

j/k

LOL haha, well, am still waiting. Still no change. Hopefully, we'll hear more next week...

Just a heads up everyone, looked like the vast majority, 95% or so, of the interview slots were still open... sit tight!

If i go any tighter, i will explode

I second that.....The wait is killing me!!!
