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.

Freaking out right now... Got a call from Lauder, they left a vmail but asked me to call back - didn't say if I got in or not. And when I called it went to vmail on their end!!

I'm in agony...

Oh, I'm East Coast US.

Of course you're in! I doubt they leave voicemails for the dinged candidates. Congratulations!

You guys were right... but that was still stressful! Finally had a chance to calm down after the initial excitement. Whew!

I believe the theory was that the calls were all going out before 2pm. Not sure what % of the admitted students got called - but I have a sinking feeling that it was many/most. Based on info from this thread, I think the electronic decisions will be posted around 3 or 4.

As someone who didn't receive a call - I'm fairly sure that the aforementioned sinking feeling is the cause of my current nausea. Working hard to look on the bright side and not throw up in the trashcan in my cube...

Right there with you, saritalr. It does seem like most (if not all) admits have been called this round. I guess there's always the waitlist! Congrats on Georgetown - will you be matriculating if things don't pan out with W?

Not sure yet - I'm hoping to pursue a dual degree and the SAIS/Wharton option would have been perfect. But Georgetown has good options too - particularly the school of foreign service. So I guess I'll just have to wait and see how I feel in the clear light of day after all the adrenaline/nausea passes
