1-6 applicant still waiting to hear back.
Does anyone know what the methodology is? Do you think applications were divided between adcoms as they arrived, and some are a bit faster than others?
mbaMission: Can you walk us through the entire process? When a file is submitted, what happens next?
AC: That’s a good question. We evaluate all the applications online—no paper, of course. When an application comes in to us, it gets put into an electronic queue and given a time stamp. Then, we have a team that—without getting into too much nitty-gritty detail—will assign members of the admissions committee a number of files per week.
So somebody who’s reading an application can recommend that the applicant be interviewed or denied. If the recommendation is for an interview, then the candidate will be interviewed, and if the recommendation is that somebody is denied admission, the application would go to a second member of the admissions committee before being evaluated before the larger committee.
