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'm pretty terrible at interpreting dress codes so I was wondering what the men are wearing on Saturday night for the "Spring Welcome Soiree?"

The word doc they sent out says dress is "cocktail attire." Is a suit too formal?

Suit works...most people last time didn't wear ties...i wore suit with no tie but could very easily have not worn the jacket...

Anyone heard back on the Re Vera employment verification yet?
I was asked to send along more information so Re Vera could access the online database one of my previous employers uses but haven't heard anything since.

You won't unless there's an issue (i had to set some electronic thing up through a past employer). otherwise, you'll just hear when it's complete.

Am I the only one NOT going to the Wharton Welcome Weekend? I think I'm coming down with that insidious "fear of missing out" syndrome already...

Decided not to go since I'm starting the Lauder summer session in less than a month and I'm doing a transpacific move next week...

Debriefs please! Or at least status updates...

I'm in the same boat - Lauder, not going to Welcome Weekend.

I think many of the advantages of going don't apply to Lauder, like finding roommates and meeting people before pre-term, since we basically have May as a welcome month.

Only thing I would be concerned about is that everyone who can will be signing leases this weekend and lots of apartments will be gone...could be tough to get a good one later on...

You are right about the advantages of having the whole school and campus just for yourself in May, but I would still go to the Welcome Weekend. Main reason: Wharton Follies, secondary reason: networking.

There is usually a lot of housing to choose from. You will not be underserved by the real estate market in Philadelphia.
On the other hand, if you are worried about competition for housing during the WWW, take a couple of days off, go to Phila and sign your lease before the stampede.

Yes...wouldn't be nervous about Re Vera (you should know if there's something they'll find i'd guess)

very nice lobby and rooftop amenities...but it seems like they forgot to update the actual apartments (though they charge rent like they did....)
