Looks like Wharton has, with little fanfare, eliminated the Team Based Discussion format for their interview. Quoted from an email sent to applicants:

Quote:

If you are invited for an interview, you will need to complete your interview by Friday, November 16th. Interviews will be available on-campus with second-year Wharton MBA Admissions Fellows and off-campus in various locations around the world by Admissions staff members. These locations will be announced in the coming weeks and all interview options are considered equally within the admission process.

As a reapplicant, I can confirm Wharton sent out the exact same email last year and still had the TBD. The website also still lists the TBD as their interview process. The email just isn't specific about the TBD format but my understanding is that it's still their process.

I see, thank you for the clarification. Seems odd that they would go into so much detail on the timing and nature of the interview while saying nothing about the team based discussion format. Thanks again!

Hi everyone,

I submitted my application in round 1. I received an email from Wharton on September 19 saying that my submission was successful and it should read "Ready for Review" if my form has been processed and forwarded to the admissions team. It has been 10 days after the round 1 deadline but my status still reads "Payment accepted, form submitted successfully". Is anyone else having the same issue? Should I be worried at all?

Thanks!

I've wondered this as well as mine says the same thing. Not sure it's something to be too worried about, but it was oddly specific.

As someone else noted earlier, click on "View Checklists" to see the status. Does that still show Payment accepted?

Does Wharton gradually send invites out untill October 30th or do all decisions occur on October 30th?

From what I understand from last years process, they admit about 50% of the students they interview. So I would think they probably interview about 2000 students.

Hi bondtradercu,

I have spoken to some admissions fellows who said they interview anywhere between 35-40 % of the applicants and admit about 50% of those interviewed.

Hope this helps. All the best!

Does anyone know what the TBD schedule looks like once invites go out? If invites go out on October 30, how soon would the TBDs be and are they usually on a weekday or weekend?

8 days! Seems like Wharton's turnaround is a good bit slower than others... (at least HBS and Booth)
