AHh i see what you're saying. So if the admittance rate at Kellogg for instance is 25%, then someone with an average application (average for that candidate pool) would have a 1 in 4 chance of getting in. An average GMAT score for this type of school would be like 710-730. So those with score within this range can expect that type of acceptance rate.
Is my logic right?
Your logic is right if all candidates had the "same profile", or if GMAT was the most important criteria the adcoms took into account. I mean only looking into GMAT is not valuable. A candidate with 780, but poor GPA and work experience would be dinged, while a 660 with great GPA and remarkable work ex could be accepted. Off course there are schools that weight GMAT more than others, but in general they look at several points of your "whole life". Sometimes you have evtg "perfect": high Gmat, GPA, great work ex, excepcional essays but you simply do not have the school's profile, and this can be used "against you"...
I am not an expert, my opinion is based in what I've read and heard from some Info Sessions I went. Does anybody have another opinion?
