Percentage of interviewees who are accepted [#permalink] New post   18 Oct 2011, 03:36
Is there any reliable statistic out there that shows, for instance, that x% of, say, HBS interviewees are given an offer?

Not all schools make this information available. However, for some of the schools that do, check out the schools' websites or BW ranking.

Columbia, for example: https://www.businessweek.com/bschools/ra ... umbia.html

Applications (admitted and denied) to the newest class: 6,666
Applicants who were accepted to the most recent class: 15 %
Applicants who were re-applicants from prior years: 10 %
Percentage of this year's reapplicants accepted: 24 %
Applicant interviews are: By invitation only
Applicants (admitted and denied) who were interviewed: 27 %
Admitted applicants who were interviewed: 100 %

It is typically a 50% chance after you get interviews. The best thing to do is see percent of applicants interviewed and then percent of applicants accepted. I do not know any school that admits students that are not interviewed. After that its simple division to get percent. You could probably do historical numbers by going back a few years or just find the average across top programs.

For the most part is is usually right around 50% though from what I have seen.

Sandy has a chart on his blog for HSW interview rates, although I have no idea which class this is reflective of. Either way, getting an interview to any of these three schools is nonetheless impressive.

Quote:
If you get invited to an interview by Harvard, you stand a 64% chance of getting accepted to the school–much better odds than if you were invited to an interview by either Stanford (48%) or Wharton (43%). Application numbers are for the classes that entered this fall. Numbers for interviews and acceptances are rough estimates based on interviews with admission directors at each school.

Columbia... it's something like 55% of interviewed get offer... Harvard is I think roughly the same.
