Applied March 10, offer came today. will accept it!

I was contacted by a professor last Friday. A brief Skype chat(10 min) was fixed for Tuesday(03/27). Interview went well (the professor began by saying that I was waitlisted and they are interviewing candidates on their waitlist(I wasn't aware of the fact I was waitlisted before)) but the professor did not specify a date for the decision. I was really surprised when I received the offer yesterday. It feels hard-earned after so many rejections! I will be taking the offer. For those who haven't received an offer yet and the people who will be seeing this next season, it's not over until you receive the official rejection. So don't give up hope even if it's too late! GPA:7.0/8.0(distinction in my university). LOR's: I don't know how strong they were. Three summer internships and a Bachelor's and Master's thesis (Ours is a dual degree).No publications, no presentations. My project advisor is one of the pioneers of the field. All in all I feel that the admission process is a big black box and no one really knows which factors count and which don't.

Got my decision 2 weeks after application submission. Received $10K merit based scholarship. Couldn't believe my eyes since I applied with low GRE scores and awful UG GPA. Adcom does take a holistic approach! So very happy!

hey guys, congrats to those who have received offer for PhD in operations management at wharton. It will be great if you could reject the offer at the earliest in case you are intending to do so as I have been waitlisted. Also, if it is possible please post the stipend amount.

extremely disappointed

"The evaluation of applications is conducted between January 15th to March 30th. At this time, each application is assigned a Total Application Score (TAS) based on cumulative GPA, major GPA, GRE Scores, letters of recommendation, personal statement, and structured vita. Applicants’ names are then sorted from highest to lowest based on TAS, and letters of invitation are sent to applicants in order of TAS rank in three rounds as follows:  • Round 1: April 1st to April 15th • Round 2: April 21st to April 30th • Round 3: May 1 to August 1 The names of applicants who do not receive an invitation during the 1st or 2nd rounds are maintained on a Wait List until either 1) the applicant receives an invitation, or 2) there are no more seats in the program. Please note that Round 3 extends for three months (May 1st to August 1st). We understand that this length of time can be stressful for applicants, and we appreciate everyone’s patience. Once the program is filled, all applicants whose names remain on the Wait List will receive an email indicating that the program has been filled."
