offhand topic - but related to mba apps
I will be interested to know how do most of you all manage the time? got handhelds?
Pdas?
or just plain old google mail..

i just email my self for things to do, and I use google calendar and todo for the tasks at hand...

Any suggestions?

I just keep a sheet with list of items and a small check-box to the left of it. The priorities are in my head, and I check items off the list as I do them. Convenient, fast and I can fold the paper and walk around ;)

for reminders I use google calendar

But you got interviews to 3 already (Kellogg mandatory), so your chances should be solid at this point for one of them.

helg: Dear Rosemaria. I was very happy to get the interview invitation this week (applied in R1). How optimistic I should be about my admittance chances at this stage Thank you
RosemariaM: Congratulations Getting an interview invitation is a positive step towards admission to the GSB. We plan to invite between 50-60% in Round 1. Prepare, be yourself, and relax. You'll do well

Well poop. I like the 95% calc more 67% is low.

I suppose it could be higher - I mean I did get a Chicago invite and a cornell did too.

HBS stands at a 1/8 chance.

Going off last years figures for Kellogg, and my and pehilu's analysis, we can estimate an accept rate of between 33.5 and 52% for the midpoints of the 700-740 and 750-800 range, so lets say 35% - 7/20 odds for Kellogg. These may be a bit higher considering my application is truly unique and a professor should be "dropping by" the admissions office to support my application.

Chicago has an invite, we know that last year they gave out 60% interviews and this year are giving out about 50-60%. Their old yield figures were last reported at 67%, and selectivity at 23%. Unfortunately we dont have total number of applicants, so its only a guess but we can at least estimate my odds at better than 23%, and likely somewhat substantially so - maybe about 35% odds here - 7/20 as well. With two alumni recommendations, I'd venture it might actually be higher.

Cornell's an interesting one too. Median GMAT score, 690, which I beat. 36% accept rate, 1797 applicants. 46% yield. If we assume a general interview policy of about 60% which appears to be the norm around most schools, then about 1078 students are interviewed of which 252 attend. To keep that figure with a 46% yield, they'd have to dish out 547 offers, or about 50%. Given I have an interview my odds are thus 1/2 here.

With these figures: 81% odds overall...

Better, but not quite as high as I'd like.

You posted just as I started editing my post to include that info
