Just got an email back. Here it is:

"Thank you for your interest in the Wharton full time MBA, your application is in the review process and invitations to interview will be rolled out on a random basis until 18 Feb. If there is any change in your application status, you will receive an email. For the time being, the only thing that you can do is wait patiently."

I like how they worded it, that "the only thing that (we) can do is wait patiently." LOL! Too funny! And too true.

Congrats to everydody that received invite!!
I said to myself that I won't be worried until next week, however seeing that the invites have defenitely started to pick up today, it is difficult not to check emails/applications few times a day...

Congratulations to all those who have received interview invitations and to those of us who are still patiently waiting. Is it safe to assume adcom doesn't usually ding people this early? Do they always wait till the last day to send out a "mass ding" email?

Congrats, guys!

Here are the questions from my rd 1 interview and background for context:
F/Top Public/3.6/760/3 yr WE at top IB

- Spend a few minutes introducing yourself
- How do you like banking vs. investing
- Long-term/short-term goals
- Why MBA/why now/why Wharton
- One leadership experience
- What would you do if you and a peer are competing for the same thing
- What do you bring to Wharton ("don't say your professional experience")
- Why would your cohort want you here?
- What extracurricular do you want to participate in? ("Don't say xxx that's related to your experience". I think he was really drilling for my interest in the school here)
- How do you define success. Another follow-up question based on my answer
- What do you do for fun
- Questions for him

That seems like a lot of questions, but it went by really quickly. W posts your interviewer's name on the website prior to the interview (should be under your interview information, just check it a day or two before your actual interview), so I was able to look him up and gain a sense of his background prior to walking into the interview. I also really enjoyed chatting with other candidates and first-year volunteers in the waiting room. Some people like to avoid the waiting room. I actually found it helpful to have lots of those 3-min convos about background/undergrad/why mba/etc, as it helped me to get used to "talking" about it vs. "rehearsing" it. Hope this helps!

So far I count 6 invites out of 65 applicants on the thread. That's about 10%. Considering, there were about 60% invites in R1 and about 30% acceptance out of those who got interview invites, the invites situation does not look that bad if the percentages remain same in R2.

Hey guys - I am a R1 admit. Came back on here to check out to R2 activity. I was a nervous wreck during the interview waiting process.

Just some advice to hang in there. As I saw from how R1 was handled, when you get your invite does not matter. I got my interview invite on the second to last day. I interviewed 2 weeks before decision day, and got in.

I know it's hard not to check message boards/email every 5 minutes. In hindsight, I felt like I wasted a lot of time. Try to focus on other things (if possible).

Good luck all!
