Use this platform to know each-other, build network, exchange ideas/information, discuss application strategies, share interview /school visit experiences, and boost one-another's morale to face the tough admission process.

For the folks who have interviewed with Wharton in R2...were there ANY updates to your application page? I interviewed on-campus but my application still just says "Submitted" in green. Nothing's changed since January when I first hit submit. Is this the case for others here? Thanks!

I have the same issue. My status didn't change even when I got the interview invite (found out about that via email). I believe acceptances are also over email, so I don't think it's indicative of anything or a detriment to have the status page not change.

Hello

The admission decision might also be announced via a phone call. I saw a video clip on Youtube.
I wish the best as I also had my interview on the campus on Feb 14.

I didn't get one. But I wouldn't worry too much about that. I also didn't get one from Booth but I was admitted with $$$

Hey guys, is anyone here considering one of Wharton's Dual or Concurrent degree programs? Options include: UPenn MA in International Studies (Lauder), JD, Education, Engineering, Environment, Design, Health Care Management, Medicine, Nursing, Social Work, Veterinary Medicine, SAIS, HKS

For those who are thinking of applying to dual programs -- perhaps during your first year after you have been accepted at Wharton -- here is a great article on The Pros and Cons of a Dual/Concurrent MBA Degree.

Anyone who was admitted R1 have the scoop on if Wharton calls people or just updates the portal, and what time one can expect to find out? Answers seem to be mixed from previous years. Appreciate the help!

Round 1 admit here:

Wharton calls you up. They mention this in the interview as well but I will write this here for clarification. Wharton will be calling everyone up, they start from early in the morning (6:30 am or something) US east coast time and start calling the Asian time zones first and then dial westwards.
For reference, I live in Japan, and they called me around 10:30 pm JST. (Around 9:30 am ET). However, everyone won't get the call at the same time (please remember the admissions team are also human) so even if your friend gets a call, please wait.
I know it's extremely difficult since most people would be having a nervous breakdown at this point and will be checking their mails and phones every 5 minutes, with productivity of the past week being probably zero.

Glad I could share the experience with the rest of the chat room today. Unfortunately, my Wharton decision came by email that I was waitlisted. Congrats to everyone admitted today!
