M7 admission isn't luck, and it isn't just your GMAT score. Join our free webinar for a direct, insider breakdown of what it actually takes to get into Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, Kellogg, Booth, Columbia, MIT — led by an INSEAD alum with a real M7...
Just attended an information session at Wharton run by Judith Hodara. Very bright lady who said some interesting things:
No increase in applications this year ... complete flat line (only place I have heard this).
Approximately 7,000 total applications, 35% are invited to interview (i.e., roughly 2,450), and roughly 1,150 will be accepted.
Hence, post-interview acceptance rate is approx. 1,150/2,450 = 47%.
First Adcom I've seen so willing to give out exact numbers.

is the 1150 the number of invites or the number of matriculations?
Wharton class size is around 800. So with 1150 acceptances yield of 70%

I can confirm that the number of applicant for Wharton remained constant but the number of applicants to the Wharton/Lauder program increased.
The school is expecting an increase in the number of applications for the class of 2011.

wow, thanks for the stats guys.
I am surprised that there is no applicantion volume increase at Wharton since I heard Kellogg is up by more than 30%...

It is shocking that apps arent up there. Every other school seems to be saying they have had pretty solid increases.

However, I do not do profile reviews, don't offer predictions on chances and am far to busy to review essays, so save the energy of writing me a PM seeking help for these. If I don't respond to a PM that is not one of the previously mentioned trash can destined messages, please don't take it personally I get so many messages I have a hard to responding to most. The more interesting, compelling, or humorous you message the more likely I am to respond.

i guess without her side business she has no need to pump up the numbers anymore?
Awesome pieces of information livehard. Thanks a lot for sharing this with the rest of us.
thanks for the info livehard. with those numbers, i bet GMATClub will clean up.
Livehard, were you at Wharton on Thursday?
I was surprised too at the applicant pool size being the same for Wharton! She mentioned the app volume being flat when people did the math to tell her that 1150 is not the half of 35% of the applications, unless the application volume stayed the same. With majority of the room filled with interviewers, she stressed a few times that interview is just a data point.
Anyways, I like the sound of 50% post-interview acceptance rate.

Yep, I visited the campus on Thursday and interviewed on Friday. I came away very impressed. Friendly students, great facilities, and a strong program in so many disciplines. I sure hope I get the opportunity to make the very hard choice between them and Kellogg.
