Calling all Wharton EMBA Applicants(Ph/SF) 2016 Intake Class of 2018

good to see someone took the initiative that i didn't have to start a thread.
I applied R1 to philly as well, with online app and interview submitted before the deadline and transcripts arriving a few days later. Hopeful that we'll all get some closure this week.

Imbilly, was your research from scouring past threads, like I did?

Yes, closure and good news this week would be great. Good luck, folks!

right. mostly from thread on the prior year's intake. Very small sample, so don't rely on my statistics.

Hope we will hear the result soon. Good luck, everyone!

I also applied R1 for Philadelphia -

Loved my visit to the campus and really enjoyed meeting the other applicants, as well.

Wishing everyone the best of luck this week!

this is exactly why i asked for this thread to be created; from my research of last year's thread, it sounded like certain people might be getting a call starting today! i applied r1 to SFO, here's hoping! *fingers crossed*

Thread was only created yesterday/Jan 11th 2016, hahaha!

Given how we have relied on past years' threads, perhaps, we could be detailed in our response on the decisions we receive from the school - date/time/caller info etc. It would certainly give applicants in R2 and future years better data to go off of!

Gluck again! I too really enjoyed my visit and interactions with folks of the SF campus. I would be really happy if it worked out.

Any responses yet?

seriously! i am dying here!

For what it's worth, I applied R1 Wharton East and have not received a call or seen any updates in my online application. Try to survive until the 19th

anyone receive a call? holiday weekend is around the corner.

i have not, still shows ready for review on the online app.

good point about the long weekend for schools, at least we'll know for sure that there will be no activity on Monday.

did anyone call them?

I have not received a call from them yes or no.

Calling them today may not be the best decision , as they may be busy finalizing their communications or may not even be planning on making calls until Tuesday. I'd wait for now.

I have also not yet received a decision via phone or online. Assuming that no one who posted here has been notified, it's safe to say calls haven't yet been made. (Approximately 50% acceptance rate, 9 applicants posted here, assume calls are only made to those accepted, odds that none of us will be accepted 1/2^9, so then 99.8% probability calls not yet made, all else equal.)

There is a chance that the information is relayed today, given the weekend format of the program. If not, I'd have to assume Tuesday, due to the Monday holiday. With the smaller EMBA class size, this should be fairly manageable for the admissions committee. (Even if only 6 of the 11 on the admissions committee are making the calls, assume 1/2 of the ~230 seats filled in R1, that's 115 phone calls, call it 10 minutes per call / prep time, that's only about 3.25 hours of time to make all the calls.)

Of course, if anyone received a call Friday, the rest of us are in trouble. Or perhaps I'm over-thinking this - off to the gym.

no updates on this end. sunday and monday likely quiet because of the holiday. given that decision "no later than Jan 19," i feel this is a bad sign. oh well.

Dumped over text on Tuesday? Is that where this is headed? Shucks. I would have liked the weekend to have recovered from this heartbreak.
