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.

is it normal to have so many waitlists while just 5 admits reported in one round?

thx rid82, and congrats on booth and lbs, well done sir...

suppose the two forums I checked don't overlap, we're looking at ~10 admits vs 30+ WL's. also heard someone say that only 200+ admits went out (don't know how accurate though), so that leaves ~600 for the next two rounds with the majority in r2. so I guess the good news is that we'll find out on 3/24?

if anyone else has any data points to share, please do...

Count me in the waitlist troop.

Speculation: According to 2010dreams, they will make another round of calls next week (as they just called around 140 people). But I don't see many people without a call (or E-mail) were accepted for now. So whom are they calling to next week？

Will they do something next week on the bulk of waitlist? Or they will just chase people with multiple offers (Booth, Kellogg) out to other schools so as to purge the waitlist pool? I don't think quality applicants will be left over for March 24...

Are you hoping for a "Waitlisted-then-Accepted" Wharton's version of Kellogg's mess?
That would be fun, but unlikely

Haha, that truly is unlikely. I just felt the whole thing is so weird. They called a few...released decisions so late...with the bulk of waitlist and a big gap to fill in for Round2.... You just cannot help speculating. :wink:

If anyone here is definitely going for another school and not waiting, send a note to the adcom so they can consider other applicants in your place. I am doing the same for the schools I am not joining an I'm doing it asap. A big waitlist at a top school like wharton will have ripple effects on the admissions decisions at other schools.
