Just went to Wharton info session. Admission person said they interviewed 30% of applicants last year and didn’t elaborate.
From the website the total applicants for class of 2011 is 7493… 30% interviewed would be 2250… 16% accepted would be approximately 1225 and their posted yield was 70% so 862 enrolled.
This 30% interviewed (or 2250) is quite different from the 3000 you quoted for class of 2010…
Perhaps they just threw me a generic 30% number so 30-39% means “30%” or maybe last year they just interviewed fewer and accepted more from the interviewed pool???
hmmm , dunno, numbers I gave out were fr. Wharton event, altho cudda been class of 09. They are famous for interviewing lots of kids. Maybe they got tired of it. Used to be rule of thumb they inter. fifty percent and took twenty-five percent of that. So now it looks like they interview 30 percent and take 1225/2250 or 54 pct. in line, sorta w. H and S. as a percent of post interview accepts.
