Nothing like that. Indians especially Indian males form over represented group so competition is very. Especially in R2 I am assuming that getting invites is even harder. So everyone who has done so much work on the profile , scored really well on GMAT etc wants to understand what went wrong. One parameter that really help is how many Indians got calls in R2 to understand if these numbers were extremely low to begin with.

Also helps with strategizing which round to apply in the following year, just based on trends.

Yes exactly if it becomes apparent that applying in R1 next year makes no sense then one can target other schools

So you think that the sample size of how many Indians got interviews from this group chat is going to allow you to infer the proportion who got invited to interview? I don’t agree

It’s you don’t have to.
Maybe he/she wants to find out where he/she lacked was it just the GMAT or something else.
Any response here would lead to a private chat probably.
Just ignore the message, it;s that simple.

Hard for anyone to know - but will be important to display your self-awareness and reflection skills

Think of it this way:
TBD: Business Research, Presenting, and Teamworking
1-1: Self-awareness + Reflection

Are the TBDs evaluated on a per-candidate basis, i.e. feedback per candidate + the rest of the application, or a group overall, i.e overall performance of the group decides the performance of each candidate?

­I am pretty sure the outcome of the group has no bearing, rather they are observing how each candidate is engaging with the group and advancing the discussion. My guess is per-candidate for sure.

I second the above. It was also shared that extroverts vs introverts are evaluated differently as they are expected different "dynamics" in the group and your contribution to the overall advancement are measured accordingly.

Those who did TBD interviews what were your thoughts and reflections ? I feel that the group I was with were all on point, super prepared, confident, clearly acting on what is mentioned online(not being too dominating, being extra nice etc) it didn’t feel too natural
I felt I showed less confidence than them

Source Wharton blog from previous class:

"As many of you know, our admissions team used to start off decision release day with calls to admitted applicants to congratulate them on their admission. Last year we made the decision to change this tradition, as we learned that for applicants, waiting for these phone calls caused unnecessary stress. We want to be mindful of our applicants’ mental space, so tomorrow’s decisions will all be released at the same time, via our online application portal."

I just logged into the Wharton portal. It used to have a "check status" button that would direct to the PDF showing my interview invite. Now the "check status" button is gone. Is that true for everyone else? I’m assuming it means nothing but March 26th feels so far away, and I’m going to keep driving myself crazy looking for hints until then.

Based on Clear Admit, it looks like the decision came between 10:30 - 11 am for R1. So, we can guesstimate the same time unless Wharton wants to mess up with R2 applicants’ emotions. :lol:

Are they doing phone calls? If not, when we enter portal will it say congrats right there or will it be a status update that we click and it can have accept or deny. I know for tuck when you logged in it said congrats and portal changed and you can access acceptance letter there. The anxious part of me wants to know what I’m getting into lol

Admitted after being waitlisted to Booth on Thursday. Emotional rollercoaster

My admissions consultant told me that my first round performance (not so great) was due to my career decisions - i.e., not much room to improve applications. Decided to apply alone in second round and got into Wharton.

It’s on the portal if you got it
Otherwise you’ll see a different letter that will say “financial aid” on it but will actually be a firm that explains how you can apply for a loan
