Hi,
I have been following this thread for a long time but didn't want to post anything until I had heard back from the school.
Unfortunately, it is not good news. I got a ding as well.
I thought I had a good profile - 7-8 years work-ex in a top global IT company, lived and worked in 3 different countries, plenty of leadership experience, GMAT just below 700, UG degree from a top 20 business school. I had a very good interview too. Right now, I'm scratching my head thinking what else the school expects. Overall, it has been a great learning process, excruciating at times, but this thread has made it easier in many ways (knowing that there are others in the same boat).
I wish all the successful admits the best, if you've made it through this then you must be truly special.
Thanks again for sharing all your stories.
