Wharton EMBA R2: Waitlisted or Rejected, What Next?
Wharton released its decisions today, Wednesday, March 22, 2023, letting Round 2 EMBA candidates know whether it has granted them admission. Congratulations to those of you who gained admission! For those of you who were waitlisted, admission may still be possible. For those of you who received rejection letters, please remember that the Wharton EMBA program has one of the most challenging acceptance rates among the top EMBA programs. The school is particularly picky about things such as your career trajectory, number of full-time work experience years, age, short-term goals, quality of the recommendations and essays, college GPA, and standardized test score (especially quant). Below are some steps to consider if you were waitlisted or rejected.
If you received a rejection letter.
If things did not work out with Wharton, you should not conclude that you are incapable of accessing a top EMBA program. If you have solid credentials, you can still consider targeting top business schools like Columbia, Kellogg, Booth, MIT, Haas, NYU, UCLA, Duke, and Darden. But, before you move forward with other EMBA applications, make sure to correct any notable mistakes you made in your EMBA application to Wharton.
For example, was your EA, GRE, or GMAT score too low? Did you submit mediocre essays? Did your recommendations fall short, failing to help you shine? Did you adequately explain any weak areas of your career or academic record? If you decide you need assistance identifying the source of problems, you can consider showing your application materials to a reputable EMBA admissions consultant to get a Ding Analysis. A Ding Analysis should not be costly; MBA Admit.com, for example, offers a Ding Analysis for $395. Once you identify any weaknesses in your application, you should correct them to improve your odds of success at other schools.
Waitlist strategies.
For those of you who were waitlisted, there is still a possibility of admission. At MBAAdmit.com, many candidates have approached us after they received a waitlist response from Wharton and we have helped them to put together an excellent “waitlist strategy” in an effort to tip the scales in their favor. Like the Ding Analysis, a Waitlist Strategy service should not be costly. At MBA Admit.com, for instance, we offer a Waitlist Strategy package for $750, which includes a Ding Analysis and editing. An effective waitlist strategy should build upon an understanding of any areas of weakness in your credentials. For example, if your EA was lower-than-ideal, you should be taking steps to show Wharton you have the skills to thrive in their quant-heavy program.
Through a great waitlist strategy, you can consider doing some or all of the following:
1. Address weaknesses directly. Address any areas of notable weakness, letting the school know about the steps you are taking to address the weakness(es).
2. Write a follow-up letter. Compose and send in a short letter that re-states your interest in the school and all you can contribute to Wharton.
3. Mobilize additional recommendations. Have one or two new recommendation writers send in letters on your behalf to endorse your abilities, record, and potential. The letters do not need to respond to all the prompts on the formal online recommendation form, but should strive to be very thoughtful, value-added, and comprehensive. If you have access to your other recommendation letters, you can make sure the new letter gives value-added content and does not just repeat points made in the prior recommendations.
4. Continue engaging with Wharton to show continuing interest. Reach out to Wharton to demonstrate your continuing interest. You can keep in email contact with representatives, have additional discussions about Wharton with alumni members or current students, and attend additional information sessions/webinars.
5. Deepen your credentials and write another letter. Take steps to continue deepening your professional, academic, and extracurricular credentials. If you are on the waitlist beyond a month, you can consider writing another letter to the school that discusses the ways you are continuing to deepen your credentials.
If you need any assistance with a waitlist strategy, a Ding Analysis, or applications for other EMBA programs, feel free to reach out to us! Most of all, remember that many candidates move on to great success at Wharton or other top EMBA programs after initially receiving a Wharton waitlist response or rejection.
