The Admissions Committee will begin to release interview invitations on Friday, February 4th and will continue to release invitations on a daily basis until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Friday, February 18th. - from admissions' mail. Where did 50/50 rule come from? -- by 会员 christydu (2011/2/5 9:49:31)
One of the people on GMAT Club claimed to have spoke to some admissions representative from Wharton and quoted the representative on interview invites only on Feb 4 or Feb 18. 50/50 rule is then assumed by many who heard about this.
However, earlier today somebody on GMAT Club just pointed out the differences on the confirmation letter from Wharton, and allow me to borrow that person's post here:
I find it hard to believe that 50% of the invites have been sent out just today. Wharton has a batch size of ~850 and has had a yield around mid-70s over the past few years. That equates to 1150 admits. A roughly 50% interview to admit conversion would suggest nearly 2300 interviews. If R1/R2/R3 split of total seats is 40%/40%/20%, we are talking of nearly 900 interview invites for round 2. Do we really think 450 odd folks have received their invites today? In any case, here's the text from the Wharton status email, which specifically says that invites will be sent on a daily basis. This wording is quite different from the text from round 1.
Round 2:
"The Admissions Committee will begin to release interview invitations on Friday, February 4th and will continue to release invitations on a daily basis until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Friday, February 18th."
Round 1:
"The Admissions Committee will release interview invitations on Friday, October 29th and again on Friday, November 5th."
Once again, wish everyone best of luck  |
