Due to the nature and complexity associated with the admissions process there is no particular order in which invitations are released. Also on November 5th , the Committee will release all final admissions decisions to candidates that are not being invited for an interview and therefore no longer being considered for admission . If you are invited for an interview, you will need to complete your interview by Friday, December 3rd . Interviews will be available on campus with second-year Wharton MBA Students who are full members of the Admissions Committee, off campus with alumni, and off campus in various "Hubs" around the world by Admissions staff members. All interview options are equally considered within the admissions process. Essays Required Question (same for first-time and reapplicants): What are your professional objectives? (300 words) Respond to 3 of the following 4 questions: Student and alumni engagement has at times led to the creation of innovative classes. For example, through extraordinary efforts, a small group of current students partnered with faculty to create a timely course entitled, “Disaster Response: Haiti and Beyond,” empowering students to leverage the talented Wharton community to improve the lives of the Haiti earthquake victims. Similarly, Wharton students and alumni helped to create the “Innovation and the Indian Healthcare Industry” which took students to India where they studied the full range of healthcare issues in India. If you were able to create a Wharton course on any topic, what would it be? (700 words) Reflect on a time when you turned down an opportunity. What was the thought process behind your decision? Would you make the same decision today? (600 words) Describe a failure that you have experienced. What role did you play, and what did you learn about yourself? How did this experience help to create your definition of failure? (600 words) Discuss a time when you navigated a challenging experience in either a personal or professional relationship.

Good luck guys! I was in your shoes last year and now that I'm part of the Student Host Committee at Wharton, I wanted to let you know that the school's trying to make admissions calls to students this year. (vs. last year, we only got a status update email to check the application website..extremely nervewracking).

FYI, since some of the students are making calls (starting tomorrow a.m. for domestic and some int'l tonight), you may receive a call with an area code other than 215, so make sure to pick up all calls. Also, we were told to finish our calls by 3pm tomorrow, so I think you will have a decision by then. I hope this helps provide some transparency.

I love this place so hope to see many of you here next fall!

thank you so much!! are calls being made today as well, or tomorrow only? (so we can stop waiting around our phone and freak out every time it rings!) again, many thanks for being so considerate!

I assume that everyone now only has one "congrulations on interviewing" box on the mywhartonmba instead of the two we had previously?

I'm down to one box also.

I interviewed the end of Nov and myWharton homepage does not have a box saying ""congrulations on interviewing"" it still links to the interview information. Is anyone else missing this who interviewed? Should i call the office?

I'm sure it's accepted only. They don't want to talk to people who are going to break down on the phone.

Or ask them "WHY.. WHY NOT ME... I'M GOOD ENOUGH! WHY" over and over again. And then with caller ID they'd be continuously harassed.... oh lord.

You may be right about that. I certainly won't be happy with a ding, and it will be the most significant rejection I have ever faced.

or at the very least, the person interviewing them was able to spot one of the "crazy" symptoms. These may include:

Heavy breathing through the mouth, Eyes with whites fully visible above and below the iris, twitching, rocking, crying, and/or identifying as a Scientologist.

Or like the guy taking the bar exam with Marshall in How I Met Your Mother: "No! No! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

He then runs out of the room, still screaming.

Anyone see any on-campus interviews end that way? I assume it would improve our chances.

Funny .. AT&T has a repeater at my office but I can't get any Verizon calls even though our Blackberries are through Verizon (go figure).

Good luck everyone!
