Anyone received the following email yesterday? Just wondering if it's Wharton practice to send out updates like this every Friday...
________
Thank you for submitting your application to join the Wharton MBA Class of 2016! We are looking forward to getting to know each of you, through your personal stories and experiences, as we continue to read through your applications. Based on what we have seen at this point, you are not making this decision easy for us!
Now that the written part is behind you, we realize that the coming weeks bring a great deal of nervous anticipation around 'what's next' in the process. In no particular order, we will be releasing invitations to interview starting at the end of January and continuing through to mid-February. All invited candidates will then take part in the Team-Based Discussion, which we launched last year in partnership with the Wharton Innovation Group. Our new interview format has brought the team-based learning component of our community into the application process - which gives potential students a chance to showcase who they are, while at the same time experiencing more apects of our program, firsthand.
As we move into this next phase of the process and questions arise, please feel free to contact our office directly. We may be reached by phone at 215-898-6183 or by e-mail at
mba-admiss@wharton.upenn.edu.
Thank you, again, for your interest in Wharton. We look forward to being in touch with you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Wharton MBA Admissions Committee
Lauder Admissions Committee

Yes, I received this e-mail yesterday. Maybe I'm wrong, but it looks like just a confirmation on the next steps. The line "Based on what we have seen at this point, you are not making this decision easy for us!" really makes you wonder though. Coupled with the financial aid e-mail that some other people received, seems Wharton really likes to keep us jumping.
