specialxknc · Answer

I noticed that the 2015 Admit/Ding results thread has not been getting updated this admissions season. As an MBA hopeful in the next year or two, I have watched these threads closely, and this is by far the most valuable thread to gauge ones chances of admittance. Would the community be so kind to log their stats on this thread if they applied for MBA programs this year? Thank you.
