MBAGirl, given that Wharton's acceptance rate of 17%, if 30% of applicants are interviews and 40% of interviewees are admitted, then the 12% seems low. Is it more like 60% of interviewees are admitted, in-line with other schools? Thanks.

That may be true. The 30% estimate was mentioned by Wharton people during admissions chats, but the second number could vary depending on who you ask. Nobody knows the final numbers but Wharton. At GMATClub, it looked like we had 30% of interviewed people accepted, 30% waitlisted, and 30% dinged.

Either Wharton hasn't sent out any notices, or no one from GC received an invite. I'd like to think the former, but I'm starting to doubt myself.

It's almost 2pm EST now. Three more hours before work day is over. How long is the AdCom going to wait?!?!?

but if no one from GC has got an invite then its too much of a coincidence, looks like wharton adcom is enjoying the sadistic pleasure, they might be looking at our posts here on GC and laughing :P

Late is good. The later they send the invites, the more people they can review and fit in that batch. I would rather be reviewed at 3pm and know at 5pm than hear people are getting e-mails at 3pm, while I have to wait until next Friday.

Just out of curiosity, how did we come to the conclusion that it'd be a mass email being sent out with the click of a button? Also keep in mind that however many GC applied for Round 1, it's still a fairly small sample size.
