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.

On the MyWharton page there is a link "view your decision," not sure if it's been there a while or it's new, but when I saw it for the first time this morning my heart skipped a beat. False alarm, it only links to the interview invite letter.

Official Transcripts received and/or Deposit received. However, these boxes didn't come out until a few hours before the decision email. In some rounds they didn't come out at all...

Folks: focus on the e-mail. The phone call is just the cherry on top.

What did the acceptance emails say? Something like "you have been accepted" or is it the cryptic "your application status has changed"--thereby requiring you to log into the site to learn your outcome?

It will just notify you of a status change and direct you to the website. You'll know pretty quickly once the letter pops up through applyyourself or you go onto the myWharton site.

I was interviewed by both Wharton-Lauder and Stanford, but I don't remember them asking for my official transcripts - is this something that they get on their own? Or was I supposed to submit them myself? MIT had me bring my official transcripts to the interview.

You only have to submit official transcripts if you're accepted - what the other posters are referring to is a glitch that happened in R1 that resulted in admitted applicants seeing a few extra boxes on their myWharton page before receiving the official acceptance from the school.
