Welcome to all prospective applicants of Wharton's MBA, JD/MBA, and Lauder programs to the Class of 2019 discussion. Use this platform to know each-other, build network, exchange ideas/information, discuss application strategies, share interview /school visit experiences, and boost one-another's morale to face the tough admission process.
I will post the essay prompts as soon as they're out.
Good luck to all!

happy to get on skype with anyone who wants to do a practice round - think my friend who goes there did a mock interview with his fellow gmatclub applicants and said it really helped with the real thing

Has anyone had success calling admissions and asking for information on why you were rejected? I suppose they don't like to do that but curious if anyone has tried. I am a little scared that doing it will put me on a ding next year list!
I am so perplexed. I know alumni with lower GMATs, less civilian work experience, and got out of the military with a lower rank. Essays must means a lot more than the measurables.

I think that once you get past a certain point on the measurables (>700 GMAT, >4 years WE etc.) the measurables become less important and the intangibles (essays, extracurriculars, story) become more important. That's not to say that your intangibles are bad (you got an invite to MIT, after all), just that it's hard to compare to others once you get past a certain point on the measurables.
If you're looking for something in your profile that may have been looked at unfavorably by Wharton, I would point to the compliance work experience. I have heard that Wharton in particular prefers to see front office from those in finance. That being said, I know people that have gone to Wharton from the back office. It's tough to read too much into it.
In your case, your energy is better spent preparing for Sloan!
