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 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.

Thank you GBale3, I got it - the glitch conversation reminded me that I hadn't provided the O-Transcripts.

Nerves on high alert I guess. Thanks again.

I was going to go to the gym but I'm feeling like staying home and just stuffing my face with food. The crappy weather is not helping either.

Read back in the thread. Nobody knows. They'll start calling early and get an email out before midnight is about all anyone here can promise.

Do they discuss something during the admit phone call? Anyone would be super lucky to get called, but can one let it go to voice mail if unavailable. I will be nervous till the end of tomorrow

Answer the call!!! It won't have any impact on the decision - but you'll have to wait longer to find out if you let it go to voicemail.

Yes..relax we will try to leave voicemails if possible. usually wharton instructs us not to disclose to third party where we are calling from, out of respect that some applicants might now have informed their companies of their plans..in that event..you will get an email!..well everyone will get an email but..try to pick up the phone if you can!

You can say that again. Anxiety builds. Incase anyone sees those two boxes, please alert the group. We are all we got.

Haha, my efficiency has been so low since early March too. I did not expect that I would have such volatile emotional roller coaster. Sometimes I caught myself picturing what I would do if I got accepted during work hours.

If I get rejected,I would have to strive hard to recover my efficiency and build track record for reapplication. That would be really tough.

Guys,

The amount of mental energy that we can collectively waste to nowhere can be enormous if we keep thinking about the decision every minute. This is kind of detrimental way and does not show our strength. We have done good job as we got interviewed and let's do what will definitely benefit us in either case of what we hear today.

As one of my friends said, all we should do is just to check our status before we go to sleep. And we will know who is in.

Yeah, but where's the fun in that? :D

I am kidding...but only half-joking though...
I think the anxiety and refresh-o-mania is part of the experience so we might as well enjoy it too...in moderation, of course
