Ya, I agree. However, I have heard that Darden interviews like 45-50% of all applicants (that may not be true but that is what I heard) so that even if you get an interview invite at Darden, you still only have a 50/50 shot of admission. Does Johnson also typically interview a large portion of applicants or do they interview a smaller percentage so that when you get an interview invite, it means you have a pretty good shot at admission?
This was mentioned earlier in the thread, but I'll revive it:
2200 applications, 700-800 interviewed = 32-36% interviewed.
Acceptance rate of 27% = 594 offers. So 74-84% of interviewees are accepted.
It's important to note though, that these numbers are for ALL rounds. I'm willing to bet the interview percentage is a lot lower for round 4, which drags down the overall percentages.
