标题: Any news from wharton PhD?

Hi!


Does anyone have news from the wharton Doctoral program in management? I saw their website FAQ that the admissions committee meets in late February and again in early March, and the departmental programs make their final decisions by late March.


However, I think stevewu is already rejected by Wharton Accounting.


I don't mind starting a wharton reject thread cos I'm probably in the reject list. He he

I've had a bachelor's degree in china and several years working experiences (not related to RMI). Now I am in canada working on my second bachelor's degree in actuarial science. My gpa in china was very lousy, but I got a very good gpa here in canada. Passed three actuarial exams, have a co-authored paper submitted (in statistics, not directly related to RMI).


How about you?


作者: punkaronnie    时间: 2006-3-7 10:29

I got my undergrad in China and I am graduating with MSF in the US. Both GPA's are good. My major is in finance, and I am interested in the actuarial science and risk mgmt.


Good luck to both of us and let me know if you hear anything.

For sure. Good luck and keep in contact.


作者: winniesun00    时间: 2006-3-8 17:00

I also applied for this program. and it seems that the admission committee is evaluating applicants and plans to send offers within two weeks from March 1.

Hi punkaronnie, which university are you at now?

Good. I am tired of checking the online status everyday. What is your background, Winnie? Do you mind sharing with us?


作者: winniesun00    时间: 2006-3-10 00:05

oh good.. finally you answered my question.


i got my bachelor's degree TODAY from a university in HK. i major in insurance and actuarial science. passed 4 SOA exams. spent one year in the States as an exchange student. and worked there in a government institution as an actuarial intern. that's it.


作者: punkaronnie    时间: 2006-3-10 00:24

Well, I tried to stop myself from coming here or checking online status or refreshing emails all the time so that I can concentrate on what I am supposed to be doing.


Both you and timothylu major in actuarial science, and that is an advantage. I concentrate on corporate finance and risk management, and decide I like RM much better than accounting.


You worked in the US as an intern while an exchange student?



作者: winniesun00    时间: 2006-3-10 00:31

yup i did.


i also keep checking email every morning when i just open my eyes, though i know the final result may not be released until the middle of next week.


作者: punkaronnie    时间: 2006-3-10 00:36
Were you on J-1? I spent my junior year in the US as an exchange student too, but I did not know I could intern on J-1..
作者: winniesun00    时间: 2006-3-10 00:40
i was F1. i did a voluntary intern on the congress hill.  it's a sort of academic intern program. no need to get working visa.
作者: timothylu    时间: 2006-3-10 03:59

Hi everybody above, it is nice to see that there are some people applying for RMI,


although somehow we are competing with each other.



Good luck to every of us, and no matter the result, at least we tried.


作者: qaymtc    时间: 2006-3-10 05:54
Surprised to see quite some people applying for risk management! I applied to this program as a backup to my applications to 12 finance phd programs. Now knowing I have been rejected by 5 finance phd programs, I'm putting up some hope in this risk management program.

punkaronnie, i also applied PhD in RMI@wharton, but no news yet.


Have u got any interview?


作者: winniesun00    时间: 2006-3-12 17:20
i heard that the admission committee will be interviewing a couple of US students next week.

Really? Damn, I've not heard anything from the committee, so I guess they don't want to interview me. It's probably time to move on and find a job now. Fortunately it's pretty easy to find an actuarial job in New York area. I will try to get a master in finance or economics after I work for a couple years, then try PhD again. Good luck to you all.

Hi anybody got news? I got an email today asking for an interview.
作者: punkaronnie    时间: 2006-3-15 08:43
That is great, Timothy! Good luck
作者: henly    时间: 2006-3-15 08:58

wow~~cong! timothylu, good luck!


could u tell us your background and share some interview experience with us


作者: winniesun00    时间: 2006-3-15 09:22

dear guys, if no news, it's not good new...at this stage, most of the decisions have been made.. i know that i'm in the so called "alternate group"..but i dont think anyone would reject wharton's offer..so game over...


作者: leighyao    时间: 2006-3-15 09:28

I think the point is what order you are on that list.


Don't believe there is no rejection from student at Wharton.


作者: timothylu    时间: 2006-3-15 10:29

punkaronnie and henly, thank you for the encouragement. My interview is scheduled a couple


days later. I will post the experience once finished.


winniesun00, don't worry too much, anything could happen during the process. It is very


possible that somebody screws up an interview (hope it's not me ) or somebody might


reject their offer. (I do think quite some people might have finance as their first choice


and use RMI as a backup).


anyways good luck all!


作者: winniesun00    时间: 2006-3-15 11:00

thank you for the encouragement. i dont care it too much. still long way to go and other offers are coming..


forgot to say congratulations to you



作者: punkaronnie    时间: 2006-3-16 01:56
Winnie, who did you contact to find out that you are in alternate group? I just called and they said they are still reviewing app.
作者: timothylu    时间: 2006-3-17 07:32

Had phone interview today, talked with Cummins, Mitchell and Muermann. All are general questions like why phd in this field, why wharton, long term objective, etc. They did pay attention to my previous education and research experience, asking about the textbooks I used and the topics covered in certain courses. The whole interview lasted about 30 minutes, half of the time they were asking me questions, the other half I asked them.


They said the first round offers will be extended next week. They admit 2 to 3 people each year.


作者: henly    时间: 2006-3-17 08:47

I have got the rejection email from RMI@Wharton


Anyway,goodluck,timothylu!


作者: qaymtc    时间: 2006-3-17 12:06

Good Luck timothylu!


I haven't heard anything from Wharton, and I just assume I will not get any offer. I called Buckconsultants's Secaucus (NJ) office today. I worked two internships there, and rejected their full-time position offer in Jan. Now I am most probably going to work there after all.


I will appply for a master program in two years, then try PhD again after I gain some research experience. timothylu, please remember to come back to share those valuable information with us if you get the offer!


作者: qaymtc    时间: 2006-3-20 06:59
timothylu, did you apply for financial aid? or you are paying with your own money?
作者: timothylu    时间: 2006-3-20 15:55
I don't think you need to apply for financial aid. Everybody admitted will get it.

Thanks for sharing with us, Timothy! It would be hard to remember the authors of all of my textbooks though.

No news is bad news now.

Did Wharton send out offers already?


作者: punkaronnie    时间: 2006-3-22 06:59
They are interviewing in the order of nationality. And they should have scheduled an interview with the candidates they are interested in by now.

作者: h0399941    时间: 2006-3-23 20:37
同问。是不是如果现在都没有收到interview 的schedule, 就没戏了?pending 真难过。
作者: punkaronnie    时间: 2006-3-28 06:15

I called about two weeks ago. The person said they had not made a decision on my application, but "it probably is not a good sign". She asked me to call back again. Let me find out tomorrow and share with you guys.




作者: timothylu    时间: 2006-3-28 08:52
I haven't got any information since my interview, guess not a good sign either. Thank you punkaronnie for calling them. I got Waterloo's master offer in actuarial science, but they require me to make a decision before Mar.31. Also had U of Toronto's master in economics admission, but no financial aid. Do you guys have any suggestion on which offer I should accept? My plan is to go on Phd study in RMI or economics/finance with relevant research.
作者: timothylu    时间: 2006-3-28 09:54
Wow, guess I don't need to worry about it. Just got the email. They give me offer!
作者: punkaronnie    时间: 2006-3-30 00:20

That is great, Timothy!


I got rejected. I guess I will first work for a couple of years then.
