hmmm congratulations to all that received an invite today! still curious... any canadians on this forum? any intel on whether we are being left for last or if invites have already gone out to the lucky few?

I am in the US but I am international.

I got an invitation today too! So excited!

Just received an invite! SO excited!

Exactly. I've heard similar stories in numerous fields. Ain't over 'till it's over. Examples are the lucky folks that got their interview invites just a little bit ago. Congrats guys and girls. Personally, I know I have a unique story and my app gets passed around quite a bit because it's not the typical narrative. Plenty of folks are probably in the same boat.

Well I wish you all the best and hope for a similar outcome as my background is also highly unique and probably would require multiple rounds of review before someone decides on my app. However, I must confess that most, if not all, of Wharton's interviews are face to face, and with the group discussion this year, for someone like me who's an international applicant, there isn't much hope. A skype interview negates both these aspects. So, I'm assuming a ding - and that is hurtful as I had some expectations from Wharton of atleast an interview even if i don't finally make it. All the best to everyone else! Cheers!
