Due to the nature and complexity associated with the admissions process there is no particular order in which invitations are released. Also on November 5th , the Committee will release all final admissions decisions to candidates that are not being invited for an interview and therefore no longer being considered for admission . If you are invited for an interview, you will need to complete your interview by Friday, December 3rd . Interviews will be available on campus with second-year Wharton MBA Students who are full members of the Admissions Committee, off campus with alumni, and off campus in various "Hubs" around the world by Admissions staff members. All interview options are equally considered within the admissions process. Essays Required Question (same for first-time and reapplicants): What are your professional objectives? (300 words) Respond to 3 of the following 4 questions: Student and alumni engagement has at times led to the creation of innovative classes. For example, through extraordinary efforts, a small group of current students partnered with faculty to create a timely course entitled, “Disaster Response: Haiti and Beyond,” empowering students to leverage the talented Wharton community to improve the lives of the Haiti earthquake victims. Similarly, Wharton students and alumni helped to create the “Innovation and the Indian Healthcare Industry” which took students to India where they studied the full range of healthcare issues in India. If you were able to create a Wharton course on any topic, what would it be? (700 words) Reflect on a time when you turned down an opportunity. What was the thought process behind your decision? Would you make the same decision today? (600 words) Describe a failure that you have experienced. What role did you play, and what did you learn about yourself? How did this experience help to create your definition of failure? (600 words) Discuss a time when you navigated a challenging experience in either a personal or professional relationship.

Thanks

...I just checked my email and I got the notification to check my status at exactly 1:32pm. I think that's probably the time everyone else got it as well cause Wharton sends it out all at once. No idea if it will be in the afternoon this time....hopefully it's in the AM so we can just know and get over with the anxiety already!

Its definitely not easy...Here in India, it is going to be one Friday night for all applicants who interviewed.

Hopefully it will be a moment to celebrate the biggest life changing weekend of our lives!

My suggestion to the team is try and find something to do at work or home on Friday so that you aren't glued to the computer and pressing refresh every 5 seconds (it makes you so much more nervous and frightened). Trust me, refreshing your email all day on Friday will make the waiting process so much worse.

I would suggest trying to find something to keep you busy on Friday (for example I volunteered to work at one of our Retail stores) to make the day go by a little easier...

Agreed! I'm actually going out of the country and will be 4 hrs ahead of US time so will try to not check all day (unless I get a phone call with the good news) and then maybe around 8pm I'll look. But hey this is just me trying to sound all rational. Friday may bring a whole different set of emotions. LOL

Hi all,

Will Wharton call admitted applicants before the email, or does the email go out first to everyone, followed by calling to admitted applicants? What has been the method in previous years?

Similar question regarding calls. I went through last year's posts, but it was a little unclear - seems like people with fellowships and/or joint programs (e.g. Lauder) got calls a few hours before the notification (which was around noon/1 pm)? Does that sound right? Wondering if the calls may even happen the night before or whether they were mostly the morning of.

Thanks!

They can't get all the calls out before the emails go. Waiting for the email is probably your best bet. I got my notification (wait-list) around 1:00pm est last year. Good luck everyone!

I wonder what would be % breakdowns between accepted/waitlisted/rejected. For example something like 50% accepted, 20% waitlisted and 30% rejected. Any theories on this matter? )

From the Wharton website:

"Criteria for selection of awards may include academic achievement, compelling leadership, exceptional professional development, and unique personal qualities. There is no formal fellowship application; all admitted students are reviewed by the Fellowship Committee to identify and select the best recipients. Notification of fellowship support is then included with the admissions decision."
