Well if anyone gets a call today - can you please mention if you were a three box or a five box? I've been three boxed...

Hey everyone,

While you're talking about MY/Wharton online page Do you mean the online wharton application page to which we all submitted our application? Or Is it the link on Wharton's home page. A new link that appeared a few weeks ago?
When I click on the MY/WHARTON link, I can't open the page. I didn't create any page from MY/WHARTON link. Besides, I can't see any boxes on my online wharton application page . Hope you are not talking about online wharton application page while talking about boxes...
Please comment!!! I'm about to have an Heart attack!!!
Thanx,
Ozge

When you go here https://www.wharton.upenn.edu/mba/index.cfm, you'll see on the top right myWhartonMBA. Click on that, and you can log in with you applyyourself login.

I know someone was joking about 4 boxes earlier, but mine just changed from five boxes to four boxes when I did that. The Deposit received box is gone, but the transcript received box is still there.


Ay Wharton! Please end the madness and just start calling us!

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

Totally agreed. I know three people who got into Stanford and HBS last year, and got rejected from Wharton

copy/pasted from my post on B/W:

So an updated count shows that across GC & BW, there's 18 5-boxers & 27-30 3-boxers. That gives an offer rate of ~40%, which isn't too far from what the theoretical rate should be.... BAH.

Also, if you look @ B/W alone, the rates alot higher @ like >50%. GC has only 1 or 2 5-boxers. The majority are 3-boxers over there.

I felt pretty good last night that this was just a glitch and my three boxes were not a big deal. It is 12:45 philly time and if it were just a mistake I would think they would have corrected it by now... :(

Yeah, and last I checked, there was no reply from adcom on the s2s forums to the thread posted about it.

I'd probably keep hush hush too if it was a legit oversight.

I am still at 3 boxes .... I dont know what to laugh at ... the fairly amateurish rollout of a new look and feel to the website or to all of us clutching at straws to see if it means a lot. I do hope we are making a mountain out of a molehill. Although, given that results are technically only 24 hrs away. Perhaps, the boxes are what it is all about ! :shock:

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?
Show more

I ussed the app PIN and password. In order to get the "edit profile" option, you must log into myWharton MBA and then go into the S2S forums. Once you've done that, you will see on the top right part of the screen an "logged in as:," "edit my profile" etc.

Guys,

Why don't we start working on a book whose title would be "The boxes theory - An analysis of the impact of the numbers of boxes on the probability of admission" ? :-D

As a "three-boxer" myself, I hope that the theory would prove to be completely wrong in less than 24 hours.

Good luck to all,

have a little faith in GMATCLUBERS guys! We can't just have such low hit rate given that we've been doing decently well at HBS, Stanford, Kellogg and Booth! I am still a hopeful 3 boxer! :)

I love your optimism but this is one three-boxer that doesn't have a good feeling...

Between the BW and GC forums and the MyWhartonMBA site, the past 24h have possibly been the least productive of my life!
