are you sure you arent confusing "% of accepted students that were interviewed" and "% of interviewed students that were accepted?"

i dont think any top school accepts 99% of applicants that are interviewed. but almost all of the top 10 interview 99% of accepted students.

I can only answer for Haas, which is generally between 50-75% of interviewed gets accepted.

UCLA seems closer to 60-70% (just a guess)

Stanford I heard is trying to push the rate to 60+%.

Kellogg it doesn't matter, everyone gets interviewed if there are alums in the area.

Last year Wharton accepted approximately 38% of the people that were interviewed. This is not a great number and I was actually hoping for a much higher percentage......

yeah, nice find!

see, i disagree though, ryguy. i mean, yeah, it would be great if it were 100% acceptance and we could all go to our dream school, but i translate a low % as an opportunity for more people to get face to face with adcom and add some color to their application. maybe that's just me...or a few weak spots in my application...speaking...

that being said, i heard stern was closer to 60/70%.

It varies pretty wildly, depending on how the school treats interviews.

From my own research, there are basically three kinds of schools--those that have applicant-initiated interviews (Tepper, Duke), those that use the interview as "just another data point" and therefore invite a higher number of applicants (Wharton), and those that use the interview as a sort of "final hurdle" (HBS, MIT, Haas).

Just from my research, it generally fell like this:

HBS: Interviews around 25% and accepts around 50-60% of those interviewed
MIT: Pretty much the same as HBS
Wharton: Interviews around 50% and accepts around 35% of those interviewed
Haas: Interviews around 25%-ish, and accepts around 65-75% (they have a slightly higher acceptance rate than most schools because of Super Saturday--a higher majority of students who go to SS are accepted because attending SS is considered a strong sign of interest, and therefore likely to help the yield stat).

Duke and Tepper allow candidates to sign themselves up for interviews up to a certain date, and then after that are invite only, so there aren't many useful stats there.

If you check each school's thread on the BW forum, there's usually a discussion of these stats right around the time interviews are going out. I know there was for round 1, at least, for all the schools I apped to.
