I interviewed with Wharton a few weeks ago and every time I logged into the portal I was able to see my "Decision Letter". I checked today and the Decision Letter is no longer there in my profile. I'm fearing the worst and thinking that's a sign of a ding. Is anyone else's decision letter missing?

Question about Washington U. / Olin

I had my interview with Olin in October; I'd say it went well. I received an 'update from Olin: Decision Timing' email stating that they look forward to an interview and that a decision will be made afterwards. However, I did not receive further information about said interview. Has anyone experienced this, and what should happen next?

Notes:

After the program, I aim to join a top strategy consulting firm in Europe. I am still on the "young" side of applicants and I am considering delaying the program for a year (starting in 2026 and not in 2025). I am thinking of applying to other top B-schools with a clearer path to consulting in Europe as a foreigner.

Notes:

2/4 overall. Waitlisted at Cornell. Interview at GTown, but dropped out once I received Notre Dame decision. Notre Dame was my top choice, so very happy with the overall outcome. If anything, I wish I had found the Clear Admit podcast sooner. I would've retaken the GRE and applied to more reach schools. However, very happy overall!
