well, bad news. congratulations for the canandian admissions.
I don't think it is because of rec letters, which, i think, are not as important as the other parts of your application such as essays, scores and work experience. Most likely, your essays didn't work well since you didn't even get the chance for interview while essays have the biggest influential power in the admissions process. Moreover, you scores, especially toefl, are on the lower side of chinese applicant pool. In regard to work experience,unless you have a blue chip, it really doesn't matter how famous your company is in China. They just don't care much about it as long as we don't have the big names like sony. The cases you are going to study in b-school are all about american firms, serveral japanese and few european. Therefore, the only application strategy for most of chinese applicants is differentiation (marketing 101), which only can be fully demostrated in the essays.
Just my 2 cents.

The following is their feedback:
Thank you for your application to the Wharton MBA program. It is with regret that I must inform you that the Admissions Committee is unable to offer you an interview or a position in the Wharton MBA Class of 2006.
As you may be aware, the Wharton MBA program receives as many as 8,000 applications annually. In a pool where virtually every candidate offers significant work experience, demonstrates leadership ability, and submits persuasive recommendations, the Committee's job of selecting the entering class is extremely difficult. We are left with the unpleasant task of denying admission to many fine individuals who would, no doubt, succeed academically at the School and contribute to Wharton's standard of excellence.
Let me assure you that your application received a thorough review by several members or more members of the Committee. As a policy, we do not pre-screen applications, but give each candidate full consideration. The fact that we have not offered you an invitation to interview or admission should not be taken as a reflection of your intellectual abilities, personal achievements, or potential for a successful career.
Thank you again for your interest in Wharton. I wish you success in your graduate studies, as well as in your personal and career endeavors
I am not upset with this news but want to share it with your guys. I do not think my background is weak, maybe there are candidates stronger than mine. what is beyond my expectation is Wharton denied me without offering me an interview. here is some infromation about my past:
work experience over 10 yeras with a higher position in domestic famous IT company in China, GMAT over 730, GPA over 3.5, TOEFL 260(5.5). my essay edited by a native speaker who was a editor. one shortcoming for me I know so far is that my references is a general form that is not specific as they required.
why? what is my problem?
