@CyberC1, the view decision is currently showing your decision about interview call. This will get updated with your final decision when they release it.


Yeah - I figured that bit out. It's just a bit jumpy on the nerves to see View Your Decision on the page :P

I'm still not sure what you guys are talking about. I clicked on the "applyyourself..." link and logged in. The see a link that takes me to the interview invite. Where are the boxes???

They're not referring to the applyyourself page, they're talking about the MyWhartonMBA page, which you can find at this link (I hadn't been there before they mentioned it either).

Looks like this phenomenon is not a controversy as everyone seems to have it.

according to BW forums some people have the last 2 checkboxes some don't


thats the post that triggered off the great box theory.. last year some applicants had 2 checkboxes in their myWharton page regarding transcripts and enrollment deposits even before invites went out

Thanks for the info Staind..it seems there are no two sets of people from the boxes standpoint this year.

So people just 5 days to go! Best of luck to everyone..let's hope for a big GC meetup at Philly next year :)

If you guys are waiting anxiously for schools and feel like chatting, might as well join the chat: https://gmatclub.com/chat/ . I suspect it will be quite active this week.

The boxes happened only in Round 1 of last year, when they had just launched My Wharton - it was a new system glitch. Not repeating.

yes... 5 boxes = admits, but 3 boxes = dings.

Hi everyone,

Count me in for R2 (Lauder).

By the way, has anyone else found the Wharton application to be the hardest (and containing the fewest "recycled stories")? I've been trying to come up with a failure story for the last month...and the "design your own course" question is tough!! This will definitely be the most time consuming application of them all for me.

Best of luck for R1 applicants!


Please count me in for R2 as well.

globalcitizen, I totally agree. Wharton essays seem the toughest to me. definitely no recycling...
