Wharton 2013 - Calling All Applicants

This is quite different from previous years when Wharton released all invites in 2 consecutive Fridays. The conspiracy theory on GMAT Club about who got invites in the first batch was quite amusing.

Anyone know what percentage of round 2 applicants are interviewed?

2nd year students ran the TBD and did the post-TBD one on one interview. Round 2 sounds like it will be the same.

Hi, right now, I try to log in the online application, but it turned out "Your ID is invalid". Does anybody see this?

You have probably already read this from the email to all R2 applicants.

The email says:
"The Admissions Committee will release interview invitations between Tuesday, January 29th and Friday, February 22nd. Due to the nature and complexity associated with the admissions process there is no particular order in which invitations are released. Also on February 22nd, 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. "

Why is the interview window so much larger in Rd2

Historically R2 is a bigger round than R1. More apps means adcom needs more time to review everyone's information. Hopefully with the team based interviews, more of you have the chance to show adcom who you are!

so intensed....

They might have mentioned that second-year students will be facilitating the group interviews on campus during my info session although I don't remember for certain.

my application still says "Submitted". Did it change to "complete" for anyone who submitted around the deadline?
this is what the Round 2 information email said about the status: " If your online account reads “Received,” then the Operations Team needs to process your online application submission and any materials submitted by hard copy. After your materials have been processed (assuming they arrived before the Round Two deadline), your online account will be changed to “Complete for Round Two” and your file will be forwarded to the Committee for review. Due to the high number of candidates who submitted their application during the past few days (more than 60% of candidates applying for Round Two submitted their application within 24 hours of the deadline), it will take the Operations Team a approximately a week to complete the processing of all materials. Therefore, please allow the Operations Team until Thursday, January 10th before inquiring about the completeness of your application. "

thanks so much for your help!

anyone admitted fill out the enrollment form yet? any idea why they would ask what other bschools you applied to and status? doesn't seem like it is anonymized?

Anyone know when interview invitations go out?

According to an email Wharton sent to everyone applying in Round 2, the interview invites will go out between January 29th and February 22nd. Dings also go out on February 22nd.

My status changed to "complete". I submitted Jan 03, 3 hours before deadline.

Just got an email titled "Next Steps in the Application Process" that affirms that group evaluation will happen for Round 2. It totally fooled me: I thought with that subject line that I was getting an interview invite, but it was just instructions about what happens next IF I get invited. My heart jumped haha! It gave a whole breakdown on the format of the group interview though.

Same. I'm getting tired of the Wharton blast emails that have titles that get my hopes up."Next Steps"..."Round 2 Information" GAH!
