First of all CONGRATS for all the admitted students!!!!

I have a question for waitlisted applicants. Did you all receive 2 mails from the admissions committee yesterday:

-one about ' Waitlist guidelines'
-15 minutes later, a second one about 'Find out more about Wharton in the Middle East' from mbaoperations

Just wondering if i am the only one who received the second email...

Thanks a lot in advance

I received two e-mail but both were about the waitlist guidelines. I think they misinformed the e-mail address, so they corrected this e-mail address in the second e-mail. I think the second e-mail may be the generic e-mail sent to the applicants in the Middle East. I may be wrong though.

Does anyone know if Wharton matches or gives scholarships based on other schools offers? I have a full ride to Ross, which is no Wharton, but am curious if it can be leveraged. Also, who in the world would I talk to about this?

It's not goodbye to B.S. I'm probably going to go 1/6 this year (and I'm a MIT re-applicant). For many qualified applicants, this is a numbers game. There are people on here who got rejected from target schools with scholarships to top schools. I know people at HBS who only got one admit. Figure out how you can improve your story and find people who can give you feedback on where the weaknesses in your application are. Then give it another shot -- if that's what you want.

Thank you Shana....now I have to figure out how to improve my storyand stats. not really easy.but I definitely want to give another try to BS (Especially wharton). I don't know how well wharton welcomes reapplicants. any idea here?
Any story of reapplicant here on the forum? I think I will re-start all the process, from gmat to every thing.
this is a long way to go but after two days of tears and wine, I have decided not to give up.
maybe I should create a Reapp Club :lol:

Now that the R2 hype is over, here is my view of what is going on.

Second year in a row my school adds a ton of applicants to WL in R2. I think the strategy is to make R3 more competitive (WL guys are indirectly entered to R3 as the limited number of seats available after R2 goes either to R3 applicants or wait listers), and increase overall acceptance yield, while at the same time keeping the quality of the incoming class at predictable sky-high levels.

This is definitely great for Wharton's brand. We are becoming even more competitive, more selective, academically and professionally stronger, and more diverse. This increases the value of Wharton MBA even more.

The fact that last year's acceptance yield was phenomenally high, the school is probably testing if the approach will produce similar results this year.

Conclusion: it will be ever harder to get into Wharton, and WL is definitely not a bad place to be in. Keep it up, WL!

from the others' experience, i'd say give it a try. i guess you'd speak with admissions first and tell them that while Wharton is definitely your number one, it's hard to pass up a full ride at another school and you just wanted to see if there was any way that you can be reconsidered for grant money. if they say no, they say no, but at least put it out there for them to consider. i'm sure that after april 6, there will be some admits offered $$$ who will turn it down to attend HBS or Stanford, that should free up some fellowship money itself.

Roll Call updated and recounted.

Xerox, I think you are right. There are almost no applicants reported for R3 here, and half of the forum R2 admits have been given $. That could mean that the school has taken only their must-have applicants for R2 and placed the rest of the good fits in Waitlist to offset the much smaller R3 pool and the people who reject R2 admits. I suspect there will be much less $ to give in R3 but there may still be spots left.
