Thank you for your response.
Hi nobono and I feel for you. Nothing is more disappointing than getting to the interview round and then not getting the offer. However, don't let past performance impact future opportunties. Go in feeling confident, don't be depressed or anxious-
talk yourself out of the funk because you don't want to bring that in with you. If it was your interview response- focus on that. You can't fix the GPA as you said- at least not in a few days. So review what was asked- and what you answered and consider having an impartial person give you their opinion of your answers. We offer an interview prep option and in even just an hour you may have more clues.

But also keep in mind this is a numbers game- sometimes everything clicks and sometimes it does not. I have clients that got interview invitations to HBS and not Booth, got nowhere at Booth and got fellowship money at Wharton, got dinged at Wharton and got money at Kellogg... so it truly is a fickle business and you can't read too much into one or two data points or it will drive you crazy. Focus on what you can control- make sure you know WHY you want the school, what classes and activities you will participate in and what you can do to give back. Here is a link to an article I wrote about thinking how ADCOM thinks and maybe this will give you some insight into your next interview! Good luck! I'm rooting for you! https://stratusadmissionscounseling.com ... interview/I think that my two main problems were GPA and what I said during the interviews. Essays, location, dressing and spoken english were good (they told me that my spoken english was good).
Having said that, it's almost impossible for me to have a clear picture of what happened, because universities don't release feedbacks and there are no stats about the admission rates, admission to interviews rates, minimum GPA and so on. So I cannot say if they call everyone for interwiews or if an interview is really close to being admitted. I don't know if they want to loose 45 mintes talking with every single candidate.
If I ask to the admission offices of other schools (I did it also with FSFM), they encourage me to apply, because they find me a strong candidate.
Also, during the interviews, I responded very well about the latest news and events that are happening in the world: Brexit, Quantitative Easing, MPS, and so on, and and I received congratulations after my good answers.
The only thing that I could do is to try to be more convinced about my answers, especially the ones about my future career.
However, if GPA is the problem, I cannot solve it, because I have no exams until February.
So, right now I don't know where to apply next.
