The fellowship essay is a torture after working on 4 others, but I am trying to finish it before submitting the app. Then off to the races :)

It is, isn't it? I wrote that one first. I have a tendency to lose motivation by the time I get to the last section... I always saved the easiest problems for last in exams. Of course, I have nearly gone blind as a bat reading and re-reading my application. Wharton has got to be the most verbose of them all!

I'm in for round 2. It's probably a longshot, but my essays finally started getting decent after the fifth application.

In for round 2. Submission was a bit anticlimactic. No email as noted by others. Enjoyed this since it was my last one. Waiting for Godot with Kellogg..

In for round 2 as well. Simply didn't have the energy to write the fellowship essay after filling in the rest of this exhaustive/exhausting application.
Does anyone have an idea as to how many fellowships Wharton tends to award and in what amount? Would like to get a better idea of what exactly my sloth may have deprived me.

I finally submitted my Wharton app, including the fellowship essay. It didn't help that the application system crashed for a few minutes around 2AM EST. Now its finally the time to hurry up and wait :)

I was under (at most by 15 words) or at the limit for the essays (1-4, optional & fellowship). The open-ended questions varied a lot more.

Question for you guys (or maybe R1 applicants): where will we be looking for status updates within the Wharton ApplyYourself site?

Does anyone know if Wharton allows recommendations to be submitted a few days after the application? I know that Booth gives up to a week.

It is unfortunate that I have great essays and complete application, but I can't reach my recommenders... one of whom is my manager, but I am not in the office...

Last year's was Feb. 19--I assume we'll get an email at some point in the next week or two updating us on the dates for R2 interview invites/decisions. At least I hope so :)
