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.

I'm internationally based so hopefully not getting a call isn't a MAJOR negative!!!

Good luck to everyone - I'm sure we will all live if we do not get in for some reason.

So last 30 mins.. I wonder whats the chances of not getting a call and getting admitted..

I'd say chances are slimmer than in previous rounds. They seem to be more on the ball this time. That said, I'm holding onto the last shred of hope until the official rejection letter hits my inbox this afternoon.

well according to JMW not everyone who gets admitted gets a call...so not getting a call is not a dealbreaker.

either way, this has become too much of a distraction and increased my stress levels. I will just wait till 5pm to check my status. No more checking my phone or checking the website. It is futile.
