Looks like I'll be heading off to Yale this fall. At least some closure!

Dear Brownoski,

The Admissions Committee has completed its reevaluation of your application. I regret that the Admissions Committee is unable to offer you a position in the Wharton MBA Class of 2008.

We appreciate the time and energy you put into your application and interview. As you may be aware, the Wharton MBA program receives as many as 7,000 applications annually. We are left with the unpleasant task of denying admission to many accomplished individuals who would, no doubt, succeed academically at the School and contribute to Wharton's standard of excellence.

The Admissions Office will keep your application on file for two years. If you plan to reapply during this period and would like feedback on your application, kindly contact our office at 01 (215) 898-6183 beginning the week of July 17, 2006 to schedule a feedback session. Sessions are conducted by telephone; appointments fill up quickly and are offered on a first come, first served basis.

For instructions on the reapplication process, please follow the procedures that will be included in next year's application (available online in August 2006). All reapplications will be reviewed within the context of the overall applicant pool at that time.

Thank you again for your interest in Wharton. I wish you success in your personal and professional endeavors.
