This is a pretty basic question, but I didn't see specific instructions on the application. For the extracurricular activities section, did you leave the "To:" date field blank if the activity is still ongoing (i.e. from: January 2011 to: present)?

Transcripts "Transcripts of all academic work completed at the baccalaureate/undergraduate level and beyond, whether or not for credit or a degree, are required at the time your application is submitted. Grades or marks may be self-reported on our online transcript template , with official documents required upon admissions and matriculation. Should you be admitted, you will be required to provide official transcripts of all previous academic work to verify the information provided in the template. If there are discrepancies between the self-reported academic work and official records, the offer of admission will be withdrawn. Offers of admission are not binding until academic records are verified." What is their online transcript template? How are you guys submitting your transcript?

To ensure the quick processing of your application, we are no longer accepting mailed transcripts at the time of application. Instead, please submit your transcript(s) as a scanned document or use the excel template, found in the downloadable forms section to the left. Use the upload feature, provided at each school listing, to submit your self-reported transcript(s). Where can I find the Excel Template mentioned above? I cannot find the downloadable forms. Thanks in advance for the help. https://www.wharton.upenn.edu/mba/files/ ... _final.pdf

Finally submitted! I just received a brief email: "Your application to the Wharton program has been successfully submitted. To check on the status of your applicaiton, check your personal activity page. If you have any questions, direct them to help@applyweb.com and please include your order-id:…." Has anyone got any further information about interview invitation timelines or any mention about the fact that application was submitted in Round 1?

Also submitted in Round 1. Best of luck everyone!

Nada. Just that email. I am assuming after the deadline they will send something out.

I received same information as yours.

Did anyone notice that in the online application, the Academic Background section asks you to list the awards won during college, and the Personal Information section again asks you to "List the most significant college, university, community and professional awards, honors or scholarships you have received." How did you guys approach this?
