Wharton MBA Applicants: Important Rd 1 Information

         

Round 1 Deadline: Thursday, 12 October 06, 5pm Eastern Standard or Philly Time (EST)

      

Processing of Applications / Application Status

      

If your online account reads “Complete – Round One,” your application has all the required materials, has been processed by the Operations Team, and has been forwarded to the Admissions Committee (Adcom) for review.

      

If your online account reads “Received,” the Operations Team needs to process your online application submission and any materials submitted by hard copy. Once your materials have been processed (assuming they arrived by the deadline), your online account will be changed to “Complete – Round One” and your file will be forwarded to the Adcom for review. 

      

Because of the large number of candidates who typically submit their application within 24 hours of a deadline (~60%), it takes the Operations Team a few weeks to complete the processing of all materials. (Please wait until Thursday, 26 October 06 before inquiring about the completeness of your application.) 

      

Candidates who submitted a paper application will receive e-mails about how to access their online accounts once their applications have been processed.  All paper applications will be processed by Thursday, 26 October 06.

      

Invitations to Interview

The Admissions Committee will begin releasing interview invitations on Thursday, 19 October 06 and continue to do so daily until 5:00pm EST on Thursday, 16 November 06.  Due to the nature and complexity of the admissions process, there is no particular order in which invitations are released.  Complete details on how, when, and where to schedule an interview will be provided at the time of invitation. Candidates who are not invited to interview and are no longer being considered for admission will receive a “Deny” decision on 16 Nov 06.


Final Round 1 Decisions

Candidates who are offered an interview will receive their final admissions decision by 5:00pm EST on Thursday, 21 December 06.

Hello, I want to check whether you received my official transcript.

It can take up to 10 business days for us to process all incoming materials and update online applications, so give us a little time. Thanks for your patience.
