Hi Guys

Need your advise on the way forward. I had applied to wharton, and didnt fill out the employment section thoroughly, thinking my resume will cover the employment details. However at the end of the application, the website said my application is ready for submission, and i submitted it, forgetting to attach the resume. Now the application wont upload the resume or make changes in the employment history. Could you please advise what to do.

Regards

Have you tried calling the Wharton admissions office and clearly explaining what happened? I have not had direct contact with Wharton, but I have had an ongoing dialogue with Kellogg for tweaks to my application/interview preferences.

I don't believe they will allow you to tweak the employment section, but I believe they will be able to add your resume to your application if you patiently explain to them your situation and ask for some flexibility.

Hope that helps.

Dear hn1234,

I highly encourage you to contact the Wharton admissions folks regarding the issue. If allowed, you might be able to email your resume in to be added to your file. However, it is up to the admissions director on whether or not you can add to your application at this point.

Good luck!
Lisa
