The only thing that doesn't seem to really fit the story is that Bateman was admitted at HBS, so it would kinda be expected that he would get into Wharton.

My 2 cents of pointless rumination.
my friend got dinged last year at Booth and admits to W and HBS...there are no guarantees at that level

LOL

It was a stupid joke, likening 4 boxes to a waitlist, as there was already the chatter about 3 = ding and 5 = admit.

RELAX

...until tomorrow

Right.

My ding at Kellogg should be more than enough evidence to know that assuming "if H admit, then W admit" is far from sound logic.

I just checked out my myWharton page. I only have three items listed:

1. Create a myWharton MBA account [CHECK]
2. Application Submitted (10/1/2009) [CHECK]
3. Recommendations Received [NOT CHECKED]

That's it. I had my interview beginning of november, so obviously there's something not right about this myWharton system if it's telling me my recommendations have not been received yet.

So everyone just relax until Friday...

Guys,

Im not sure what to believe at this point...but...my concern is that if this is really a leak...the IT people at W are at least careless...

The schools have all this secretive issue where they don't publish anything and then they allow a hint to be leaked at an information only site??

just doesn't make sense...

The new info site looks like it ties directly into the app system, so they might have overlooked the checklist and how that shows up to applicants.

on your MyWharton page, do you guys see a checklist with 5 things?
- Create a myWharton MBA Account
- Application Submitted
- Recommendations Received
- Transcript
- ENROLLMENT DEPOSIT

according to BW forums some people have the last 2 checkboxes some don't


Mine only has three and the last one isn't even checked.... Hope its not bad news...


I only had three boxes too..got into HBS as well, so at least in theory I should have a solid shot at wharton

the whole box thing is making me :shock: every year there is some leak/error school makes, last year Kellogg, this year...maybe Wharton...schools really need to be more careful in handling these things...

but at the same time, guys, just relax and get a good night sleep~ even if the box mean anything, the percentage of 5 box is so low that they probably haven't finished updating everything yet. and tomorrow morning, they will probably find out about this leak (if it's indeed a leak) and fix it somehow. no need to fret about it~ Friday will come and everything will be clear.

Best of luck to everyone!

oh just FYI I am also a 3 box

On the "myWharton MBA" page, when I try to edit my profile I get the following message: "You do not have permission to edit your profile at this time." I am pretty sure I could access this a few weeks ago. anyway, I am going to bed....

I don't even have an edit my profile option on the myWharton page. Did you setup the account the easy way w/ the app L/P or did you start anew?

wow. im offline for a day and look what happens!! I've been 3-boxed as well. And I am inclined to believe this theory??

Dammit. I've been preparing myself for the rejection letter but this is just horrible.

This is what I think happened : Applyyourself upgraded their platform to include the further steps in the process. People who had already logged in and created their accounts on MyMba were not moved to the "new" MyMba i.e. the one with 5 boxes.
Agree that Box 4 and 5 are relevant primarily for admits only, but I don't think the admit decisions would have been updated onto the Applyyourself servers yet, adcom may still be finalizing on the full set of admits, so unlikely that they've released the decisions on the applyyourself servers.

Bottomline : relax and wait for it..

This whole thing is crazy. Not sure if anyone wants to hear it, but I was five-boxed. I'd like to think it means that I'm admitted, but I'm also pulling for the rest of you hoping that the site's just not fully updated with all of the decisions yet. Here's hoping.

Guess we can validate these theories tomorrow. (BTW, I'm a Harvard-Ding/Kellogg-Admit/Wharton-Confused)

why cant Wharton just issue a clarification? how about some professionalism and sparing us this torture of speculation, guesswork and suspense!
