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 have a new box on the mywharton page about dates to remember. Doesn't feel like a good sign.

I don't think those are the boxes people are referring to. It;s the checkboxes underneath, recommendations et al.

DCgirl, you have given me fresh hope. Congrats!

I have a new box on the mywharton page about dates to remember. I should clarify - it's not a box on the right of the page, but rather a new section below Ankur's picture. Doesn't feel like a good sign.

I would take that as a good sign - why would a ding need dates to remember?

It's dates for the 2010/2011 application period about when the applications are due and when decisions are released - nothing optimistic and forward looking. In fact, maybe this info was there for all applicants when we first applied?

In Ankur Kumar's message, she invites me to discover why a Wharton MBA is more than a degree. Clearly it means I've made it in. What else could it possibly signify?? :roll:

@saritalr: I've got the dates too.

I'm seeing the dates on MyWhartonMBA, too. No call. No email. Much despair.

I believe it - they didn't get their stuff together until 9 PM in Round 1

Hopefully that doesn't happen again - I want to watch the college bball games tonight in peace

This is exactly what happened in R1. Website didn't pop back up until 9pm EST. Hopefully they're faster this time!

Is it pathetic that I'm staying at work solely because I don't want to lose cell phone/internet connection while I'm on the train home?
