wonder what this means? am i possibly waitlisted? did they just lose my application form completely?!?! aarrgghh... nooo... stress...

edit: of course, i had to check their webpage immediately, and true enough, the well-worded ding was there... they just didn't bother to send me an email (WTH?)

good luck to those who made it this far.

I was applying as an entrepreneur. Ding here. From what I see, Wharton is dissing the entrepreneurs this year.

Would be interested in this as well, at least the architecture part. I was told that being an architect should make me a more attractive applicant, though Wharton would still a reach. I guess I heard that and was like, "So...you're telling me a there's a chance? Oh yeah, I read you loud and clear..."

I agree. i don't think Wharton likes entrepreneurs... more interested in those that work for blue chip or name companies.

As for architects, they bring so much to the table.

Any ideas on which schools would appreciate entrepreneurs.

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

Ding for me. This one was and is really tough to handle; no other school even came close in my mind.
The dream is over, but I will move on.

Good luck to the rest of you.

I'm not sure if that is entirely true. I work for a small, public biotech company and have entrepreneurial goals, but I was fortunate enough to be interviewed. Wharton has a strong entrepreneurial program, but I think it's always a matter of fit; for example, I've received interviews from from Stanford and Wharton, but was rejected without interview from Columbia (Hence, I, or my profile, didn't fit very well at Columbia).

So it's probably not because of your entrepreneurial goals, but rather because of other fit issues. I'm sure you are academically really qualified, but 2 years in this process has taught me 1 thing: it's almost never about the stats.
