I just called the Admissions Office. I was told that more invites are being sent today and tomorrow, periodically through the day.


Any dings reported as of now ??


Dings should be tomorrow. I am preparing myself for the ding, at least I am still in the running for Wharton.


I am prepared to see a ding since the day link to my optional essay was visited but showed duration watched as 0 secs :(
So much of work put in yet not getting seen once hurts :(

I wouldnt worry about the watch duration being 0 sec. I had the same problem - someone saw my video for 0 seconds on Jan 15th... I assumed the worst but then., someone logged in on Feb 14th and saw the whole thing...

I believe the first 0 sec, is Sloan verifying that the link works - i.e during checking whether the application is complete...

I think there may be significance in that some are "complete and being evaluated" as before while some are receiving error messages. I have a feeling which is unsubstantiated but a feeling, nevertheless, that one group is being "wait listed" while the other group was essentially never seriously considered.

Good hypothesis. Which one do you think might get waitlisted? The one that was giving an error?

I called adcom office as well - they say they are still sending invites, and will continue doing that tomorrow as well.

I think that the ones with the error message are the ones they are still considering - whether for an actual invitation or for consideration later on. I think the others ("complete and being evaluated") were summarily dismissed. But again I could be mistaken - it's only my thought on this.

I am hoping that the "complete and being evaluated" is the waitlisted group, that would be a lot better than getting dinged.

It's the eleventh hour. For those in wait-state, the last few hours before receiving the result can be grueling and wrenching. But the reality is - some applicants may still be invited for an interview. And a number in all likelihood will have their status changed to deferred, rather than rejected. And for those not considered any longer by Sloan, it's best to keep in mind that there are lots of excellent schools, and there is still round 3 at a number of them. No one should let a particular school's admissions committee members have any lasting effect on their lives. Time to pick oneself up by the bootstraps and move forward!


Do you think they will do "deferred"? They dont have a 3rd round of applications...

If I don't receive invite today it means Sloan is not my school, because I've put all my soul into the app.

Their email to all applicants specified an option in which some applicants "will be offered a spot in the wait-pool with the possibility of being interviewed at a later date."

Dinged! Waitlisted candidate from R1.

Didn´t really have any hopes left, and even though I have been admitted to other great school and have solid chances at other great ones, this was the one I really wanted.

Oh, well. Another ding.

FYI, I logged in to the application website, and found the decision available there.
