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.

I interviewed the end of Nov and myWharton homepage does not have a box saying ""congrulations on interviewing"" it still links to the interview information. Is anyone else missing this who interviewed? Should i call the office?

It doesn't say "congratulations on interviewing"...it says "congratulations on being invited to interview". no update since then...but by all means call the office and bug them for no reason...

That is exactly what my status says. Reading literally what the other person typed led me to believe there was an additional status. I've never called the office. I respect their time and the tough decisions they have to make. This is why I was posting here for clarification. If there was supposed to be an additional status update, then that would be appropriate grounds for calling the admissions office for.
I understand everyone is anxious for tomorrow... but there's no need to be rude.

Hi all,

Was just browsing through Wharton's own interview tips and realized that they mentioned to bring your resume to the interview. I had mine on me, but my interviewer never asked for my it, and I didn't end up giving it. Is it protocol to give the interviewer your resume or do they usually ask?

Eagerly awaiting the results tomorrow!

For on campus interviews, they asked for it when you checked in before you went into the room with the interviewer

Or like the guy taking the bar exam with Marshall in How I Met Your Mother: "No! No! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

He then runs out of the room, still screaming.

Anyone see any on-campus interviews end that way? I assume it would improve our chances.

lol...

No one ran out screaming when I was there, but I did see something pretty odd. I interviewed on a Monday and it was pretty slow, only a handful of interviews going on at a time. This one guy came and checked in like an hour early. He looked really nervous and eventually got up and wandered out of the interview suite. I went to the restroom about 20 minutes before my interview started and I saw him on the other side of the building. Eventually, his interviewer showed up, checked in, grabbed his resume from the receptionist and went into the interview room. Right around the time his interview was supposed to start his interviewer reappeared in the waiting area looking around for him. 5 minutes pass. 10 minutes pass. Finally, as she is just getting ready to leave and go look for him, he reappears. I don't think he realized that he had narrowly avoided disaster... very strange...

Good luck to everyone!

on my applyyourself page, it now says under status "Invited to Interview" rather than "Complete - Round 1"

Did this happen to everyone?

Mine also says "invited to interview" but to be honest I haven't been tracking that closely enough to notice if it said anything different earlier.

They probably updated the system with results... but "flagged" it as hidden for now. It's only a matter of checking a box for them to reveal the results.

That means our fate has been sealed... we will know for sure tomorrow. have at least some rest for exciting news tomorrow.

I wouldn't say that, some other calls will go out over the next few days. I'm not sure how they decide who gets a morning call tomorrow, but it's not over until you get your final status update.

Calls over the next few days? That's interesting... I thought we'd all know by the afternoon through the website? Well, at least I can keep myself from staring at the phone all day at work...

You will know (whether by call or status update), but we'd still like to reach out to admits to personally congratulate them, unfortunately it can't all happen tomorrow (we have finals!). I got a follow up call and email from a student a few days after my initial admission call and decision...just adding a personal touch.
