I called at 9:30AM EST. I spoke with adcom. I said my app was submitted late. They said that they knew they would have server issues and if it was submitted late, not to worry about it and that I would still get in for round 2. I received an email 9:35AM EST as follows:
Dear benj6942,
Thank you for submitting your application for Round Two.
The following will provide you with information concerning the processing of application materials, timeline for the release of interview invitations, and final decision releases.
If your online account reads "Complete - Round Two," your application has all the required materials, has been processed by the Operations Team, and has been forwarded to the Committee for review.
If your online account reads "Received," then the Operations Team needs to process your online application submission and any materials submitted by hard copy. After your materials have been processed (assuming they arrived before the Round Two deadline), your online account will be changed to "Complete for Round Two" and your file will be forwarded to the Committee for review. Due to the high number of candidates who submitted their application during the past few days (more than 60% of candidates applying for Round Two submitted their application within 24 hours of the deadline), it will take the Operations Team a few weeks to complete the processing of all materials. Therefore, please allow the Operations Team until Thursday, January 24th before inquiring about the completeness of your application.
Candidates who applied by hard-copy will receive information by e-mail about how to access their online account when the processing of their application is complete. All applications submitted by hard-copy will be processed by Thursday, January 24th.
The Admissions Committee will begin to release interview invitations on Thursday, January 17th and will continue to release invitations on a daily basis until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Thursday, February 21st. Due to the nature and complexity associated with the admissions process there is no particular order in which invitations are released. Also on February 21st, the Committee will release all final admissions decisions to candidates that are not being invited for an interview and therefore no longer being considered for admission.
If you are invited for an interview, you will need to complete your interview by Thursday, March 6th. Interviews will be available on campus with second-year Wharton MBA Students who are full members of the Admissions Committee, off campus with alumni, and off campus in various "Hubs" around the world by Admissions staff members. All interview options are equally considered within the admissions process.
Candidates who are offered an interview will receive their final admissions decision by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Thursday, March 27th.
Thank you again for applying to Wharton. We look forward to reading your application.
Sincerely,
Wharton MBA Admissions Committee
Lauder Admissions
I hope I can trust what adcom told me, as it does not look like I can inquire about my specific app until Jan 24!!
