Got invite few mins ago!

I had determined that I would never go to my application accounts to check status, just wait for emails. But 30 mins ago, for some reason I had the "what the heck" feeling and thus logged in to "just face it". Bam! "Blah blah... Invited to interview... Blah blah... Updated on Feb 5th..."
Seems that my account was updated just a minute before, because the Wharton email comes 30 mins after I got the news. My instinct works quite well doesn't it?

Those who hasn't got an invite yet, just sits tight, mr.+30 advised that we gotta believe we will get it, I trust him!

Ugh. I told myself I wouldn't start stressing until next week, but now starting to feel the anxiety. Just to clarify (and hold on to hope), it does sound like more interview slots opened up for this wave? Perhaps they reserve a few new days for each weekly wave?

Yeah they definitely saved a few dates to be opened as they released invites. When the first wave went out there were 102 team based discussion sets now there are over 140, so dont give up!!! its not over until the 22nd.

They will post more dates, they just aren't disclosing when yet.

Not true. R2 is a HUGE mass of applicants. Game is not over until 2/22.

Excited to get an invite! There isnt anything open on-campus beyond 22nd Feb - anyone have any luck in getting a different date from the ones that were available? Choices were fairly limited and only for 3 days. I am going to traveling on work that week and it will be hard to get out - any ideas whether admissions will be open more dates?

Hi guys, does your application status change from "submitted" to "under review" when the AdComm actually review your application?
Mine still showed "Submitted" and I have no Idea if it means my application has not been reviewed yet.

I received an invite last evening. This was after I had written off all hope. So it was definitely a nice surprise. FYI I took the GRE vice the Gmat (engr nerd here) so maybe they really do accept the GRE...we will see after the interview however.

Take this with a grain of salt, but a 2nd year Wharton student told me that invites are done. This person though is NOT on the student adcom so totally possible that he is mistaken. Either way, I do think it's safe to assume that around 80% of the invites have gone out for round 2.

Best of luck to everyone.

I'm looking forward to the complete havoc this post is about to cause on this board...... I, however, am still holding out for Feb 22 as designated by adcom :-)

Few slots remain in international locations - New Delhi, Dubai, Sao Paulo.

3-4 slots remain for on-campus.

This is just after taking a quick glance, I might have missed a couple of open spots here and there.

To those who got the invites, congratulations! Best for the interview!

Could one of the individuals with an interview invitation kindly post the number of slots that have been filled to get an rough idea of the number of invites that have been sent out so far (assuming none of the slots are removed post the interview date). Thanks!

Invited! At home with a nasty cold checking mail all day, fell asleep, woke up, and BAM! Pretty pumped as I was beginning to lose hope. I am not seeing any open interview slots on campus-- am I missing something or are we waiting for more to open?

Don't give up yet if you haven't received anything- still at least one more wave and maybe two!

Anyone else just doing a phone interview?? I am currently unable to travel so they are allowing me to just have a one on one phone interview. Hope it doesn't negatively impact my application for missing the group discussion...

I don't think it should matter as long as you are clear , and able to convey your thought. Think about it , it would take all the pressure out as to what to wear , etc etc.

you are definitely a girl:)

I've been a long time lurker here. Haven't received an invite yet. Still have some hope.
There may be 1 or even 2 waves of invites left.
