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.

Waitlisted here - Wharton was my top choice, but as I see it there's little I can do, as the Adcom asks that no additional information is sent to them... any recommendations / tips / advice / or wise words of how to move on to the next school down my list?

The enrollment link is in the acceptance letter on the apply yourself site. You can also find the matriculation checklist and other details on the welcome website.

Congrats on the admit and hope to see you at welcome weekend too!

I received my email for verification at 4:00 PM today. It sounded like it was independent of whether you paid the deposit and sent your transcript. The site mentioned there would be no refunds, even in the case you chose not to matriculate.

Then again, I'm a Lauder student so I imagine they need to do our verification prior to our start of classes in May.

I am a small town person and thought that Philly would offer more affordable housing than NYC or Chicago. Boy, was I wrong! I need to revise my spreadsheet section for housing costs.

Wanted to let those of you who are in the verification process know that I recently received an email from Wharton saying mine was complete. I know a couple of you out there were worrying about the status next to the GMAT Score box in the online application site indicating "Not Received," but this status will change to "Received" once they complete your verification. Like I mentioned to all you recent admits, start the verification process early. I started mine a few months ago and only completed it recently.
