So do we know how Wharton lets us know on Friday? Is there a set time that announcements go out? Are accepted students called or is everyone notified online?

Multiple posts here and on BW have stated sources saying that only 30% of R1 was interviewed. As for Wharton vs. Booth in those terms, it's like comparing apples to oranges because of larger class size for Wharton (but also higher yield), unknown app volume (Booth was up 20% supposedly for R1), etc. I'm anxiously waiting for Friday too and I'd give myself even odds at this point.

I cannot log into the Wharton online application. Anyone having the same problem? could it mean they will release the results sooner? Last year they published (and called admits) the results 4 days before D-day.

I am not sure what you mean by 15 interviews...

My online app is still not working, I hope they didn't delete my username. I heard it happened to someone on another thread. He had to contact technical support and get a new PIN and password that is linked to his old app.

Still two days to go, so probably trying to access my app is not the most productive use of my time anyway.

he said that around 15 folks in korea have been invited to interview this year whereas 30 in the R1 last year.

given there have been 20+ koreans in each class, this "may" suggest that the number of invitations to interview this year is indeed smaller?

I got into my online app. I forgot that I changed my PIN to a personalized one through "myWharton MBA." Sorry for the confusion.

mine works too, apparently I copied the HBS user name for Wharton (er! why do they all have to use apply myself and generate those indistinguishable PIN names...kudos for Haas for using their own system!) sorry for confirming your error by my error, lol

i don't think anyone need to worry about application getting lost though, once it's submitted and printed by the school, you are in for the round~ :)

I don't mind how onerous the process is. Just consider the ramifications of the alternative. My guess is that indivudualized essays and information forms, coupled with high application fees, go a long way to tamp down on the number of applications flooding the market. They also motivate candidates to apply only to schools to which candidates are genuinely interested, as opposed to every school to which they've got a non-zero probability of admission.

Also, preventing "application flooding" gives the admissions committees more time to evaluate each candidate and allows them to judge us on a wider, more nuanced range of factors. This allows them to look past the superficial resume highlights and better assess a candidate's true potential. While the extra work above-and-beyond a common application amounts to a definite hassle and a major headache, if it gives the admissions committee the proper time and information to adequately assess me, I'm all for it.

I'd hate for business school to become like law school, where admissions decisions are basically done on a GPA/LSAT index.

I don't have the last two, but I'm not giving up. We waited so long, let's not lose hope.

I don't think I even have access to the myWharton thing; seemed like a lot of work.

I contemplated filling out the stuff so that I could see what my checklist is, but I think I'll wait in ignorant bliss until tomorrow/Friday.

No extra checkboxes for me either.
The theory is probably right, given the labels of the checkboxes.

Crap.
