Can we extend this and conclude that stern gives lower number of interview invites compared to Kellog?

Assuming the class size is more or less constant across all schools
Can't predict 😅

Hey guys
Any idea if we have to send our official transcripts to them right now?
Because my university said they can't send my marks cards to them digitally.

It doesn’t take 3 months to send transcripts unless you’re sending it via carrier pigeon

I thought Bangalore is investing in more tech infrastructure? Tell modi it isn’t good enough

I mean facts are facts— they require it if you interview. You can either:
a) ask UCLA to wait 3 months vs 14 days standard
b) crack the whip to get your college to send transcripts on time

Just my opinion but tbh I’d expect someone applying to MBA programs to be able to execute on option b vs asking for rules to be bent for them. Eg that is what I did for one of the schools I applied to which required study abroad transcripts to be send to them too— I literally called the other uni a million times and forced them to send the transcript quickly

You can order official transcript sealed and can send them from your end via courier which can deliver it fast
Yeah
That's the plan if they insist

The average GMAT and GPA needed to get an interview has gone up this year by the looks of it

~740 GMAT and 3.6 GPA seems to be the most crowded this year

These are helpful stats but these are only for domestic applicants (GPA) since international GPA is all over the place.

But this is helpful information nevertheless so as a trend, it is a helpful indicator because so much noise is out there. The gym volume is down 20% year over a year but they’re a job cut a lot of pressure for people to do something about their career but at the same time I want concerns that when you graduate in three years, the job market may be very different due to AI/etc. awesome from what I have seen consultants mention is at the applicant volume seems to have softened...

As you can see lots of noise and conflicting trends.... This will be a good question to ask the AdCom. Anderson is going to do a presentation at MBA Spotlight fair in 10 days....
