Looks like a ding for me as well, only received the "status updated" email. NBD, good luck to everyone who got an invite!

Same here (update only email). The Wharton MBA admissions team is also not answering phone calls so can't confirm, but seems like that is the case.

Congrats to all of you who got invites!

Guys,
Don't loose your hope. The deadline to receive emails is 5:00 pm EST. There is still 40 minutes. Maybe there is a big wave 5 minutes before deadline.

I also got the nondescript email. Very nerve-wracking, especially since my Stanford and Wharton apps understandably share a lot of similarities.

Eh, all schools do it this way. Where they really dropped the ball was not updating the status page that they point you to so that you're left to infer your status from posts on a forum.

Invite for me. No status update yet...

Does anyone know what is the success ratio for TBDs?

Good luck to all... I think they are still sending it... or may be emails in queue...

We haven't lost hope because we got emails. We have lost hope because people are getting emails with interview information, while we are getting emails saying "log in for your status". Oh well.

Wharton and Stanford have materially different DNA. I wouldn't second guess myself just because Wharton were to say no. :-D

I think it's 40% to 50%. Good luck.
