Yeah, for me too. I submitted early on 9/29. My recommenders submitted early too. I'm honestly really disappointed, because I LOVED my Wharton essays. I thought I did a really good job on them. I had more confidence in those essays than I did in any other school. I think my recommenders wrote decent recs, and I have decent scores, but alas...what can I do? I think it means some chocolate right now :( I am super disappointed...yeah, I know people are saying hold on...but I think I'm done for at this point just given when I submitted. And I really wanted to go to W as well :( Sigh.

Got the interview invite this morning. :shock: I wouldn't worry too much guys, there still appear to be lots of availability for interview slots, and I think Wharton definitely uses the entire window to review applications and send invites. Hang in there...

i know that Wharton uses the entire interview notification period to send out invites and that the GMAT is only ONE factor in the evaluation processes...blah blah blah.

But, browsing through this forum it seems like the average gmat score of those who have received invites is in the 740-750 range (pretty high considering that the median for class of 2011 is 720); I've only seen two people with scores below 730..(but in the 700's)

I wouldn't be surprised if Wharton actually wait-lists people internally during the notification period.. Think about it, if they like half of the first 50% of apps they read (in round 1) and invite all of them to interview (thats 25% of the total round 1 applicants) without seeing the quality of the other half, then review the second-half of the apps and realize that they like another 40% of the apps, which are in fact better than the initial 25% of applicants they have already invited - Now they're stuck interviewing 65% of the round 1 applicants!!

Perhaps, initially they only invite those applicants who they really, really like! Wait-list the others and take a final call in the last week. That would explain why so many applicants get invites towards the end and why they only send rejection letters on the last day!!!!!

I'm just thinking aloud. There might be flaws in my argument - your views are welcome..(and just to reiterate - Yes, i know that the Official stance is that they Don't wait-list during this period.....)

rahul321 the GMATforum demographic is not representative at all of the general population accepted at Wharton. At one point we calculated the average GMAT here is 730+. Don't make conclusions about Wharton's selectivity based on GMATClub stats.

Total speculation, but I really don't think you guys should give up hope yet. I am the first person I know to get an invite, and I know a lot of people who applied, all really qualified with high scores, great jobs, etc. I'd be shocked if there weren't many more invites to come.

Thanks, rahul321. Unfortunately, I did those things and still can't log on. I don't know what is going on. MBAboy2012, are you still locked out? Anyone else?

yep, this place can make a 700 feel more than insufficient

If it helps, I have a 770 GMAT score and haven't gotten an invite... I heard someone on another forum with a score below 700 got an invite.

sc,

i've sent an email to the tech support and they gave me a new pair of username and password--which if i remember correctly I had created with columbia app. anyway, I now can log on using this new credential and all of the content seemed to be there. they also told me that it was Wharton that made this change since it moved away from PIN to username.

it works now so i guess i am fine. the only question that I have is why hasn't Wharton notified me of this change when it really disabled my original log in credential? I couldn't have figured this out unless i contacted the tech support.
