About Wharton:
from S2S:
- What percentage of applicants get called for interviews? 55%
- What percent of students interviewed get admitted? 58%
- Do they fill 1/3 of all the class seats for R1? N/A Please Ask AdCom
from BW:
In 2004, the B-school interviewed 55% of its full-time MBA applicants, and 100% of its admitted applicants.
5,622 people applied to the full-time MBA program in 2004. The school accepted 16% (selectivity) of those applicants, and 68% of admitted applicants (yield) enrolled in the program.
I guess what it means that R1 is the best round to submit the application (for example at MIT the % are : 20% at R1, 15% at R2). The 16% precenct is an avarage of all the rounds.
See, is they are expecting 5700 applicants this year , and only 1700 applied at R1 – that means that 3000 (!) haven't submitted their application yet !
As for Stanford – I don't know the 50% number. I know they only interview between 1000 to 1250. However , again if Wharton and Stanford numbers are close , that means that only 1500 people submitted their application to Stanford, so R1 chances are higher.
