Hi all,

waitlisted as well sadly.

Congrats to all accepted.

Just a weird thing that... looks like there is no directly ding till now?
Since I could not figure out whether there is any ding by reading the description in the application system.

Waitlisted, but that is fine by me. Though Tepper would have supplied a great education, I am unimpressed by their admissions department throughout the process. Not only were emailed questions ignored but they were unwilling to accommodate an on-campus interview request despite my willingness to spend the money and take unpaid time-off.

I'll be accepting an offer elsewhere and wish all of you luck on escaping the waitlist and good fortune as this R2 week of decisions continues.

Waitlisted. :( :(
Seems really odd that they are waitlisting so many people.
As for ding I know about just one friend of mine who was dinged with an interview. Surprised to see none in the forum so far since Round 1 itself.
And people from Round 1 have been waitlisted again. Is it me or the adcom seems really indecisive in forming a class???? :evil: :evil: :evil:

First round waitlist here.. Waitlisted again... I think probably more people have been waitlisted than denied... Tepper has started teaching me lessons even before beginning my MBA.. A lesson a patience and it is becoming more and more tiring... :(

If they can't decide to accept or reject a bunch of folks for a good 6 months...they should stop working for a business school. Preposterous !!

I got in as well ... but I will be accepting an offer somewhere else, so that'll leave one more spot open for you waitlisters. Maybe there are so many waitlists because they predict their yield will be low? Not sure.

Hi,

Any WL candidate who sent additional recommendations? I ask because I am told by the adcom to submit mine on my company's official letterhead, which for obvious reasons I'm unable to do. Any help/ pointers in the right direction from someone who experienced the same problem will be most welcome.

Thanks.

UPDATE: The adcom replied that the additional recommendation can be submitted in email form directly by my recommender.

Does anyone know why Tepper is generally considered to be a tier below schools such as Ross, Johnson, Fuqua, UCLA?

It seems that looking at salary numbers Tepper is more in line with these schools than schools such as Kenan-Flagler or McCombs

Just a guess: a lot of people at Tepper have STEM backgrounds, that might have an influence on the wages after graduation, but not really affect the other stats.

I don't think undergraduate STEM is the reason. If you look at the incoming salaries for Tepper, it's actually pretty low compared to other business schools. The STEM should affect the incoming salary, rather than the post-MBA salary.

A lot of the ranking has to do with qualitative assessments of the program - how peers and recruiters view the school. I call this the "let me pick a random number from the clouds" aspect of rankings. Furthermore, Tepper's selectivity of students is lower in terms of GPA, GMAT and yield rates. But in any event, Tepper sure has great success in job placements :)
