Wharton: Calling all applicants - Class of 2016!

I got waitlist too from east coast! Not really sure what are the next steps or what to do...the email does not explicitly say do not contact us......Any suggestions ??

I'm also very interested in WL strategies, if anyone has any

Dumb question but anyone know who to talk to about scholarship money? I'm guessing it'd be financial aid but I wasn't sure if the adcomm played a role in that. I've never inquired about fellowship funding and had the conversation be successful, so if anyone has any tips in that area for Wharton that'd be great!

Congratulations!! That's amazing!

The website for Wharton does say that you should not send any materials for wait list.

congrats to everyone who heard good news. quick question - what was the total financial package ppl got? mine seemed for a really high amount.. over 130K (which i assume is for one year).. i think last year's cost was 97K..

You guys were all offered fellowship? congrats. 130k is huge. 1 year student budget is only 100k though so u will have some extras ^^

Congratulations to all the admits!

Waitlisted other than the generic letter on the application portal, I have not received any further communication from Wharton. The letter also doesn't indicate if there would be any. The Wharton MBA admissions website does indicate that they do not want candidates to submit additional materials. I am an international applicant (India).

1) Will Wharton send waitlisted candidates any follow-up letters now?
2) When is tuition deposit due for R2 admitted candidates? I am assuming the week following that and 6 May (R3 decision day) are possible days for some movement on waitlist. I know there is a summer waitlist too, but that would be stretching my hope too far out.
3) Have you guys heard of international applicants being admitted after being waitlisted in R2? Any indication on overall % changes from waitlisted to admittedfor wharton?
4) To waitlisted candidates - should we just sit tight and wait or do something to reiterate our love for the school?

sorry - to clarify - it was for 130K+ budget.. which is why i was concerned.. i thought the cost was around 97K per year, but if you can borrow up to 130K+ - does that mean they raised the cost estimate by that much?

Are u in for Lauder or the normal MBA? The link they provided said 99k for normal and ard 130k for Lauder. so yeah, 2k increased compared to the 97k published earlier

Got Waitlisted too...

I did some research and concluded that, at least for Wharton, it is better to be quiet and wait than to annoy anyone at the adcom.

As for stats, I heard (just heard, no evidence) that about 10% get in from WL. Wait and see... That's the best strategy.

Great result!!! Congrats!!!!!!!!!

Wharton shattered all my dreams and aspirations yesterday ... but HBS came to the rescue today with an admit!

Wow, congrats! Does this mean that you will not be heading to Sloan?

That's a wonderful outcome!!!! Congrats!

I was waitlisted with R1 and eventually dinged but I will try to answer what I can-
1) Yes, you will most likely get an email on friday and then monthly updates on 2nd or 3rd friday (cant remember which it was) each month. Having said that, the updates are pretty generic and do not tell you anything you don't already know.
2) Probably some admit can clarify this
3) I have not. The update email in feb (after R1 deposit deadline) mentioned that they had made offers to a "couple" of waitlisters. The exact text of that email is pasted by someone on the waitlist thread.
4) The email says u can only submit revised gmat, additional coursework or change in job. So if you think one of these might have been a potential weakness in your application, it may be a good way to show commitment.
Hope this helps and good luck...

anyone has asked for any ding analysis from wharton?
