I'm crossing my fingers that the order of submission has something to do with it, as I made the deadline by a mere 2 minutes.

I was hoping (wild guess) they go by alphabetical order... cos my first name starts with Z.

But if they do it in reverse alphabetical order, then i can shoot myself

Hey everyone!

Best of luck with the interviews. If you haven't gotten one, hold ooonnn :D these days appear to be filled with interviews!

I wanted to interview on campus, but I didn't have any luck finding an open spot? Did anyone else find an available space?

I wonder if you are referring to the "Penn Alumni" email I got earlier this evening. I don't know why I get these emails considering I never signed up for anything like this and am not a Penn Alumni (nor does it look like I will be one!). To be honest I know there is still a day or two, but I will be kind of surprised if I do not get one...really goes to show you never know what these schools are looking for as I thought I was a strong applicant and had some really good and unique essays. I guess I must have screwed something up though!

For those who have received an invite, has anyone had any trouble when selecting the Alumni interview option and fielding the 3 names to contact? I've tried a few times already for New York City and I get 0 options, which I find hard to believe because, well, it's NYC. Anyone have suggestions? I've already contacted AdCom, but still awaiting a response.

Got an interview invite!!! On literally the last #@$(% (ok, almost last) day. Oh, Wharton, you like to play cruel games with me...

My stats: 25, Russian, 5y WE, 2y: E&Y, PwC - audit/valuation consulting. 1y - IB in a Russian top (so completely unknown outside Russia ;)) bank, 2y - Private/Public equity investments in a North American fund. Anyone from Toronto here willing to meet up and practice?

If they review your application and dont send you an invite, does it say anywhere on the application page that you have been dinged?

Does anyone know the average percentage of people invited to interview?

Given a 16% average acceptance rate and that, on average there are 2 people who are invited to interview per seat available, I estimate 35% of total applicants are invited to interview. Am I in the ball park?
