Oh yes. Apps in on 10/2/10 and LOR in on 10/4/10.

Lived in Philly a few years ago. Somewhat rough neighborhood, but I'll practically live in Huntsman :P

For all those that wonder what happens after you submit your application, but did not submit in R1. I just got the following email:

Quote:
Thank you for submitting your application for Round One.

The following will provide you with information concerning the processing of application materials, timeline for the release of interview invitations, and final decision releases.

If your online account reads "Complete - Round One," your application has all the required materials, has been processed by the Operations Team, and has been forwarded to the Committee for review.

If your online account reads "Received," then the Operations Team needs to process your online application submission and any materials submitted by hard copy. After your materials have been processed (assuming they arrived before the Round One deadline), your online account will be changed to "Complete for Round One" and your file will be forwarded to the Committee for review. Due to the high number of candidates who submitted their application during the past few days (more than 60% of candidates applying for Round One submitted their application within 24 hours of the deadline), it will take the Operations Team a couple of weeks to complete the processing of all materials. Therefore, please allow the Operations Team until Thursday, October 14th before inquiring about the completeness of your application.

The Admissions Committee will release interview invitations on Friday, October 29th and again on Friday, November 5th. 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.

Candidates who are offered an interview will receive their final admissions decision by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Friday, December 17th.

Thank you again for applying to Wharton. We look forward to reading your application.

Sincerely,
Show more

I suppose that will be similar for the following rounds. Just thought I'd share

Wharton, like HBS, is going to give rejections one month prior to the 'final decision: Dec17th' -- if you are invited, you hear back on Dec/17th; otherwise, you know your fate by November-end. Speaking from experience (I was WListed all the way to summer last year), I think it's much better this way!

Yeah. after reading the e-mail, I felt the love from Wharton (sniffs!). Even if the news would be bad, I rather know now than later. I guess I will pull the trigger on Stern after the news.

Oct 29th sounds sooooo close yet sooooo far away. Gotta go. Back to Yale apps.

I'm going to guess the surprise was that they are now releasing interview decisions on two distinct dates rather than sporadically over a two+ week window.

I feel a little excited/nervous already.

Can't wait for that notification on the 29th or 5th... I just hope I pass the first test and get an interview.

Yeah I feel the same. I can't imagine how I'm going to be feeling as we get closer to the 29th.

When they say "release interview invitations" does anyone know how they will do that? Will it be by email or status update in the application site?

OK their blog entry answered my questions:

"All decisions (interview invitations, mid and final release) will be posted online and may be checked via the apply/check status link on the home page of our website."

actually, HBS, like Wharton....:) Wharton did mid-round notifications last year letting uninvited applicants know their fate before the final decision date for that round...HBS did not.

But good luck to you all, you may think the task is daunting now, but it pales in comparison to actual b-school.

Entirely true.

Good luck everyone! And remember to prep sufficiently for the modified interview at Wharton. I sense that this year's admissions will be exceptionally interesting to follow.

Xerox,

For the benefit of all, would you please share some insights on interview preparation? And on modified interview at Wharton?

Thanks
