Submitted! Any idea what the turnaround is on interview invites for R2 applicants?
Did you get a confirmation email that detailed the interview process? Wharton usually sends one saying the window in which interview invites will be sent. Also check Ankur's blog. She tends to mention it there right around the deadline.
Last year I applied 1/4 and was invited on 2/16. Last year I received an email with the subject: Round 2 Information the day after I applied (it may come the day after you apply or the day after the app deadline...I don't know since I applied on the application deadline). The email let me know the different application stages (received, complete, etc.) and the interview invite window. Last year's window was from Thursday 1/26 - Tuesday 2/28. I don't know what it will be this year, just wanted to give you an idea of how it worked in the past.
Nope, no email confirmation (yet).
Given the above replies, any idea how it works if another school admits you earlier? I ask because Wharton is my top choice and I don't want to be forced to put myself in a "bird in the hand vs bird in the tree" situation when/if admitted by other schools. For example, (assuming I get in) I will hear back from INSEAD on my R2 app on March 1, and given the CBS turnaround time, its very possible I get an admit by mid Feb to early March. Do schools usually provide sufficient time to make a yes/no decision?
