and also what percentage are interviewed?


When I went to visit Booth and spoke with an admissions director, she explained to me that about 50% of candidates are expected to be interviewed this year. Considering Booth's acceptance rate is around 25%, then according to our GMAT probability skills, about 50% of interviewed students are eventually admitted.

Dont know if there is a R1 premium either way or not. However, that is what I think based on the information provided.

When I visited Kellogg and Booth, I thought I would love Kellogg and not like Booth (given I like the teamwork oriented culture and not a quant jock). I actually ended up not liking Kellogg as much (no real reason, it just did not seem to click) and loving Booth. I also thought the admissions team at Kellogg were fairly arrogant (not saying they do not have reason to be...I mean its Kellogg). The admissions directors at Booth were very down to earth and appeared to be genuinely interested in finding intellectually driven applicants. I wrote pretty good essays and actually enjoyed the powerpoint slides. I hope I get an interview!

Good luck to everyone!!

It might be worth noting that Booth's yield is 61% (Businessweek), the % of people that were admitted that decided to attend Booth. So they must have admitted ~37% of the total applicants. Given the interview rate of 50% of applicants (no source...just GC threads), the percentage of interviewed students that were offered admittance is around 73%. Whether the person decides to attend is another matter.

Assuming my math is correct...

Don't give up! Granted lower GPA and GMAT than average makes it harder, if you are high 600's and strong elsewhere you certainly have a shot and worth trying!


don't loose hope! My GMAT is 650 and I got invited today.

I read in an interview with Booth's adcom that it is FIFO. However, I applied earlier than most everyone, yet I wasn't the first to get an invite.

Was wondering the same thing. MDF, you were a CBS ED admit back in September, right? I always assumed that an ED acceptance at CBS meant you cut a $6K deposit and didn't submit your application to other MBA programs.

Otherwise, that $6K deposit must be one heck of an insurance policy.

Got an invite at 1:40 EST today. I chose "on-campus" for my interview and received a confirmation for that. But the email didn't say whether it would be a 2nd year or an adcom member interviewing me. Also, I was hoping that there would be a lunch with students or some other kind of an event on Saturday 11/12 but there seems to be none.
