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.

Do they actually say 5 PM anywhere? The only reference to 5 PM I saw was in reference to when you have to submit your application by on deadlines - not in reference to releasing decisions.

I believe so - except the R1 WL'ers.

Funny enough I just got a call ...from a first year student at Georgetown wanting to know if I had any questions. Unfortunately I can't concentrate on anything for more than 30 seconds right now. Nice of them to call though! Maybe a sign?

I got a similar call from Stern too! and i thought it was Wharton.. I understand that some R1 admits didnt get a call. But for R2, would they be making sure that they call every R2 admit?

oddly i just got an email from Kellogg. I am a Kellogg admit. They don't do that often. I wonder if all these calls and emails coming in from other schools are more than a coincidence.

Ah, if it's 5PM, I'll gladly stop refreshing. I didn't know they had a specific time set out. If it is indeed 5PM, I'll be sitting in an airport lounge with my boss, and my bosses boss, both of whom were my references for Wharton... and know that today is the day. Fantastic :roll:
