Hey guys, does anyone know what % of applicants got invite and what is approx. % of interviewers that get admitted. For example, 50% of all applicants got invite and out them 30% will get in. Any insight or theory in this regard?
Thank you...

I think the adcom's guidance last year was ~ 40 & 40 (40% invites, 40% acceptances)

I am also having technical problems selecting a city for alumni interviews. I hope this gets resolved soon!

Long time lurker but got really excited when I saw the invite. I didn't get an email at all yesterday so I logged in this morning - to my surprise, it wasn't a ding (like HBS...)

If the rate is 40% then that's not too too bad.

Hi,

I received an invite on Friday. I emailed an alum in my city for scheduling dates.

What is a reasonable time after which I should contact someone else if I dont hear back. Have others heard back immediately or soon enough?

I would say the newer grad will know more about Wharton currently and will be more helpful answerin your questions. The older alum will be a better interviewer.

I'm doing mine a bit later in the afternoon...have a friend in Philly I want to have dinner with plus it gives me time to go to a couple of classes and do a tour.

I'm going from NYC (going to do Amtrak, which has worked well in the past). Maybe I'll see you around the admissions office julianlee

They won't give feedback on apps (actually haven't heard of any school that will but could be wrong...)

Anyone who has had an interview, can you please post the questions?

Also, I believe that the interviewers do not get to review our application and only have our resume to refer to - is this true?
