Not sure how good my odds of landing a Wharton invite are, but LOVE the fact that they release all at once. That's a much more humane way of handling things than other schools. Harvard's two releases (plus the ding) were frustrating, but Booth's rolling releases were TORTURE. Though the invite made up for it.

Okay, five more days until we find out!! Crossing all my fingers and toes for an invite! Wharton, please be good to me Posted from my mobile device

Friday cannot come soon enough.... Hoping for some good news to end the week!

I agree. I am not sure why schools do rolling releases. I understand that for schools with rolling admissions (CBS), a rolling release would be necessary. I would prefer a single release of both invites and dings as well.

I'm sure at least part of it is a desire to start notifying as soon as possible, they want to inform some people while they still consider others so you can make travel plans etc. Though I agree with the earlier idea that once (or maybe twice) a week of notifications would probably be plenty. If anything, it gives you confidence that you won't miss "the" email. Wharton's definitely the king here with a one and done day.

I see your point and do agree. It's just that there are schools that send out invites as late as a few days before admission decision!! (i.e. Yale last year), in that case it doesn't really help with making travel plans ahead of time. So it's not great for the selective few. Then again, not much fairness can be said about the whole MBA application process anyway.
