Adcom email says the application status should change to "Ready for review". My status still shows "Submitted". I am the only one around here?

Mine still says "submitted," but I wouldn't worry too much about it.

If you click the 'view checklist' button there is 'application status' section at the top that shows 'ready for review'.

Hey Guys

So one of my preferred choices is obviously Wharton but I am also interested in Duke and LBS.
Besides all the nerves from the application process, I am very interested to hear from all of you on why you chose Wharton or would recommend it over other schools?
Would really appreciate some feedback!

Thanks

Hey Guys

Depends a lot on your interest, goals, and profiles... so it would be better to say if you share a bit about you.

So I am very late to the forums but have been following for a while and thought it would be unfair to hold my voice back any longer. I am in for R2 and will keep you all updated on what I hear as well!

Have it written down at the office, but if I recall correctly, I think it's Feb 11.

Could be wrong...

Is it one release date or is it rolling? Do they announce the Lauder interviews at the same time?

One single release date. They all go out on Feb 11th. Lauder interviews happen at the same time as the Wharton interviews, so 99.9% sure that those notifications will be included in the release.

FROM Wharton Admissions Blog: Showcasing the Team Dynamic

On February 11th we will be sending out invitations for Round 2 Team-Based Discussions. In the past, I’ve highlighted the logistical aspects of the TBD and we’ve shared a student’s personal experience. I know that many of you still have questions about how to best prepare for the TBD and what to bring to the table when you show up for one – I’d like to take a moment and demystify some of this for you.

The goal of the TBD is to give all prospective students the opportunity to show us who they are and demonstrate key skills such as communication, leadership, peer-to-peer interaction, decision-making, etc. Going into this next level of the admissions process, many of you are already pretty prepared – you’ve worked in teams for years. Make sure you tap into these experiences and skills – this will set you on the right track.

Everyone’s TBD experience will be different. That is the nature of the exercise. Each interview group will be unique in its dynamic and content. We want to see how you integrate and engage with your peers – part of what we’re looking for is how you quickly adapt to the particular group dynamic at play.

Your approach to the TBD will be a balance between being prepared and adapting to the situation. Use your instincts and knowledge of what works best in a team-based setting to navigate the exercise. Consider the following elements:

Flexibility: Team dynamics are constantly changing. The challenges a team faces can vary from moment to moment. Don’t come in with pre-conceived notions about how you’ll contribute.

The overall process: How can you provide value to ensure that best possible outcome for your team? Does your team need more brainstorming? Do they need more clarity around the proposed ideas?

Your skills and strengths: What are different approaches/tactics that you have used in past team settings and how can they help move the team forward? Is a strength of yours providing structure for the group – or do you prefer to generate new ideas?

The absence of a “right way”: Be yourself. There is no specific role that is expected of you; get a feel for the group dynamic and let the rest fall into place.

The TBD is an opportunity for you to express yourself both as an individual and a member of a functioning team. Remember to balance these two roles during this exercise and make the most of it! This is your time to show us that you are a fit for Wharton as an individual, and also a Wharton community and team member.

Interviews will take place starting in late February. Similar to Round 1, we will be holding TBDs on campus, in Philadelphia, as well as in Dubai, London, Mumbai, San Francisco, Sao Paulo, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, and Tokyo. All invited candidates are encouraged to interview on-campus or in the off-campus location that is most convenient for you.

I hope that this information helps to provide further insight into the TBD. As always, reach out to the office directly if any questions should arise. Thanks, again, for your interest in the program and I hope to meet many of you in person during the coming weeks.

Regards,

Maryellen Reilly Lamb

Deputy Vice Dean, MBA Admissions, Financial Aid and Career Management

Does anyone know what form of communication are sent out? I assume that there are emails for initial notification and phone calls if you are accepted with information coming in the mail afterwards about the program. Are letters sent through the mail under any other circumstances?
