2017-18 Round 1 Updates

2017-18 Round 1 Updates


First off BIG congratulations to all the admits. We had a great season with lots of ups and downs, successes and disappointments and new applications to look forward to. I wanted to take the time out to share some of the movements that we have seen in the GMAT Club decision tracker so far. Keep in mind that these R1 stats are of course not complete, as a lot of people update their stats later, some will get off waitlists and a lot will also move on different schools in R2 and then update.

From general observations, it looks like the sample of the R1 admits had actually significantly higher GMAT scores than last year's class averages. Take it with a grain of salt because GMATClub's users have generally higher than average GMAT scores, but man, these scores sure look really high. In top 10, Yale seems to be championing it's stats (predictably so) with an average of 740+ in the sample, while Wharton leads the pack with a CRAZY 750. Narenn and I will keep adding more stats and data points in the holiday week, so feel free to come back and check!

School	Admits	Avg GMAT	Min GMAT
HBS	35	733	660
Wharton	29	750	690
Stanford	11	734	680
MIT Sloan	39	736	700
Columbia	54	744	690
Tuck	44	741	680
Kellogg	56	737	670
Booth	54	742	700
Haas	23	738	700

Keep watching this space and I will soon make new reports on GPA, WE and Geographic trends

Decide Where to Matriculate

I have been lucky enough to be admitted to Chicago Booth (w/ good scholarship money, approx. 40% of full tuition) and to Yale SOM (w/ little scholarship money, approx. 15% of full tuition). I am currently hoping to be invited for interviews at Columbia Business School as well, so including this school is an exercise of wishful thinking.

We are seeing increasing traction on the forum -Admitted! Which School to Attend - get ideas about your school decision and/or help others make informed choices.

Share Your Journey of Success

Hi guys! The past one year has been a whirlwind for me... from the gut wrenching anxiety driven application deadlines to GMAT preps, but I am here now, going to Kellogg 2Y MBA this Fall. I'm super psyched to be in Evanston. DAK has been amazing and totally sold me to the program. I never thought this day would happen to me... to think I was just aiming for UC Irvine with a 550 a year ago is such a leap. I guess I'm almost a case of luck.
