Just got my invite... Man this has been a roller coaster ride!!!

Ding here too. Realized after the fact that I wasn't a fit there anyway. I guess I paid $265 for the experience gained. Good luck to the rest, excelsior!

Applied Columbia for the January start term

Another ding via online status update.. today is the "d-i-n-g" s day for Wharton. I should not apply there anyhow.. upset for $265 and time I spent for essays, collecting reference etc.. anyway, it's a learning..

ding here as well... time to start looking at R2

Dinged. This one stings bc it's my second go-round (reapplicant). Little stunned/puzzled/flabbergasted given I interviewed last year (R2), got waitlisted, got put on "selective" summer waitlist, etc. Came so close, beefed up profile, and now R1 ding no interview. Who knows... Very best of luck to all those selected to inverview. Kill it, get in, and turn them down for HBS or GSB (joking)!!!! Columbia here I come. Roar, Lion, Roar!

I have the same sort of situation with London business school, as you have with Wharton. I was waitlisted after last year inerview, but was asked to reapply by their adcom. I have also improved my profile since, but this year was dinged immediately without interview. So I understand how painful it is. And weird at the same time, cause it seems very strange.

Would have been nice to get some feedback for betterment but alas!

Denied. Le sigh. Not as crushing as I'd anticipated though. That was my better app though, so I'm not very hopeful for the other.

Ding here as well. Has anybody ever attempted to solicit feedback from any of these schools? I'm assuming that they would just decline to give it, but it doesn't seem like we have much to lose, right?
