any Lauder applicants get invites?

Yes, Lauder international applicant here, and I got an invite.

According to a reliable source,
invite timing may depend on where your file placed is on the application file stack during the review (may be top or bottom of the stack regardless of app submission date), and it does not necessarily indicate the strength of your application.
Hope you hear the good news soon!

For everyone else just waiting, and waiting, and waiting for the 350th comment to appear...

No, I don't have any news.

But I am checking the site every 30 min or so...

Are we expecting a wave today?

Wharton interviews something like 40% of applicants, I think its premature to announce defeat.

Does anyone know if note taking is expected/allowed during the team based discussion?


Dont worry. Note taking is allowed (they give you paper and pen). However, during my interview nobody took notes.

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
Penn Law School 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.


Did any applicants from R1 receive similar emails? The line "Based on what we have seen at this point, you are not making this decision easy for us!" makes you look at that email again and again :roll:



Don't worry! I think everyone received that email. The "not making it easy for us" was meant to reflect the fact that the pool of applicants is highly competitive. Hence not easy to choose which ones to admit. But of course, this is just my humble opinion.

Again - don't worry! there is enough room for all of us! :-)
