Wharton MBA Waitlist Guidelines

Congratulations to all our newly admitted Round 2 applicants!

For applicants who were placed on the waitlist, you will receive an email (if you haven't already) outlining our waitlist policies. A copy of this email is provided below.

Dear Waitlist Candidate:

As a waitlist candidate, you may have some questions about the admissions process going forward. Below is some information about waitlist procedures that will be helpful to you:

· We will retain your name on the waitlist for consideration at the end of the next round unless you request your application be withdrawn. If you would like to withdraw, please e-mail mba.admissions@wharton.upenn.edu, using the subject header: “Waitlist Remove.” All waitlist candidates will be notified of any change in their admissions status by the Round 3 decision release date of May 18, 2006.

· In the spirit of fairness and equity, we will not accept additional materials for inclusion in your application. In this same spirit, we do not offer another interview.

· There is no point person in the office for the waitlist. All waitlist decisions are handled by the Admissions Committee.

· Feedback to candidates is not offered to candidates while they are on the waitlist.

· There is no rank order to the waitlist.

· The chances of being admitted off the waitlist are hard to predict since much depends on the strength of the pool in subsequent rounds. Historically, the admit rate has varied from year to year and has very little correlation with the number of candidates placed on the waitlist.

Thank you in advance for honoring these guidelines. We sincerely appreciate your interest in the Wharton School.
