To add to the above:
- the admissions team were going into the rooms, where we were preparing for the case studies, to see how everyone is working in a team
- Every group member should be part of the presentation
- We were challenged with questions and discussions during the presentations
- The admissions team will be asking every single one in the audience questions about the case. So take notes and keep yourself engaged.
- Don't be upset if you didn't do well in the case presentation. The main point of the assessment day is to see how you behave when you are put outside of your comfort zone.
I believe AD plays an important part in the admission decision.
There are 4 application rounds.
280 spots
Three ADs per round. (NYC, Barcelona, Singapore)
My assumptions:
There are 40 applicants per AD --> 120 applicants per round
100 applicants will be accepted in round 1--> 5/6 acceptance rate
80 applicants will be accepted in round 2--> 2/3 acceptance rate
60 applicants will be accepted in round 3--> 1/2 acceptance rate
40 applicants round 4 + deferred applicants + applicants didn't do AD (of course with a valid excuse)
Let me know what you guys think

I like your thought process. One thing perhaps that you have not considered is:
* IESE would probably extend more offers than its class size, we could take a 1.2X on the previous class size so say 336 offers for 280 seats? Essentially, the above assumptions don't adjust for any buffering given that the MBA selection process is competitive and candidates apply to more than school.
* How could we buffer in the waitlisting? I assume that waitlists proportions would be greater in r1 than r2?
anyway, interesting topic.
Really looking forward to the AD!

To add to the points already made: The admissions team mentioned during the open day that 400 offers were made last year and the class size was 280. I think if you attend the assessment day the odds are in your favor. I would assume about 120-150 applicants will be accepted in the first round and similar in round 2. I have some hope considering I did horribly on the assessment day.
