Did your recommender receive an email from Blair Mannix today? Sounded like a generic note (saying thanks for the rec etc.), but random.

In Round 1, this was determined to more or less be a form letter, as people compared the language and it was usually exactly the same. I wouldn't read too much into it.

Best of luck with your Wharton app. Let me know if you have any questions. What other schools are you waiting to hear from?

If every recommender got the email then probably not.

Does Wharton say approximately what % of the applicant pool receives an invite?

I do not believe there is any correlation with the thank you emails and interviews. From what I have seen/heard. I don’t know if my recommenders got the email and never bothered to ask.

As far as interviews invite. If you figure that acceptance rate is around 20%, and you have roughly a 50% chance once you interview you have to figure they interview around 40% of the applicant pool.

Don’t remember if mine ever changed, but if it makes you feel any better, mine still says submitted even after acceptance.

My understanding from R1, was that they were all during the weekdays.

At least those done on campus were all during the week as they make it into more of an all day activity with lunch and opportunities to tour the school and audit a class.

Anyone else get an email from Lauder just now? I didn't even apply (only applied to Wharton) and got an email saying

"Dear Applicant, As you continue to consider the Lauder MA program with Wharton as part of your MBA plans, we wanted to share a little more about ..."

Is this a sign?

Just take a deep breath and don’t focus too much on it. In R1 the invitations came early in the morning so you won’t have to wait long.
