Calling all Wharton Fall 2010 Candidates

sc,

i've sent an email to the tech support and they gave me a new pare of username and password--which if i remember correctly I had created with columbia app. anyway, I now can log on using this new credential and all of the content seemed to be there. they also told me that it was Wharton that made this change since it moved away from PIN to username.

it works now so i guess i am fine. the only question that I have is why hasn't Wharton notified me of this change when it really disabled my original log in credential? I couldn't have figured this out unless i contacted the tech support.

Tell me, especially those from the US, what kind of ECs and social work are considered really great there?

I'm applying to FT.
My manager asked me for a guide as schools like Kellogg sad a max of 4 pages and Harvard is ~1 pg , so he wanted to know if Wharton had any preference. I couldn't find anything on the site so was wondering if anyone here had insights. WIll ask the adcom then.

Cheers!

Anyways, sorry for my rant, but perhaps other can tell me, besides the size of the program and it's advantages, how Wharton's approach to teaching and developing people is different then any other schools. Thanks.

BUT HERM3S, let's be reasonable:

It's the FINAL COUNTDOWN, do do dooo do, do do do do doooo! just like those guys said in that 80s song!

If your online account reads "Complete - Round Two," your application has all the required materials, has been processed by the Operations Team, and has been forwarded to the Committee for review.

If your online account reads "Received," then the Operations Team needs to process your online application submission and any materials submitted by hard copy. After your materials have been processed (assuming they arrived before the Round Two deadline), your online account will be changed to "Complete for Round Two" and your file will be forwarded to the Committee for review. Due to the high number of candidates who submitted their application during the past few days (more than 60% of candidates applying for Round Two submitted their application within 24 hours of the deadline), it will take the Operations Team a few weeks to complete the processing of all materials. Therefore, please allow the Operations Team until Thursday, January 28th before inquiring about the completeness of your application.

The Admissions Committee will begin to release interview invitations on Tuesday, January 26th and will continue to release invitations on a daily basis until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Thursday, February 18th. Due to the nature and complexity associated with the admissions process there is no particular order in which invitations are released. Also on February 18th, the Committee will release all final admissions decisions to candidates that are not being invited for an interview and therefore no longer being considered for admission.

If you are invited for an interview, you will need to complete your interview by Thursday, March 11th. Interviews will be available on campus with second-year Wharton MBA Students who are full members of the Admissions Committee, off campus with alumni, and off campus in various "Hubs" around the world by Admissions staff members. All interview options are equally considered within the admissions process.

Received an invite yesterday.

You can choose between a few options:

On Campus Interview - 2nd yr student
Off Campus (HUB) Interviews with a Wharton representative - AdCom
Alumni Interviews - Alumni

Does anyone have any insight on the differences between these? Are some conducted by students, some by AdCom, some by Alums?

I too wonder about this.
