One thing I can say out of my experience is that these colleges only look at the Interview. They don’t even give any weightage to your GMAT Score, Educational background & GPA/%, Essays or Work Experience.
Even an average interview but excellent profile and scores won’t help you.

This might be my opinion only, others may differ.
Yeah, definitely seems like it to me too

Hi, anyone who has got a merit scholarship, can they DM? Would like to understand the criteria. I have got an admit from a competing B-school with a scholarship as well. I would like to understand if there is a way to leverage these to request for merit scholarships. Thanks!

No, rejected.
Guess what one of the panelist ruined first 10 minutes of my interview with some cross-questions but remaining 30 Minutes went very well. So, an average interview I can say.
But what about other aspects?
Wrote a decent essay and CV.

This looks like a tremendous profile unless I am clueless about what they actually want.

Have you applied for Pgox and epgp ?

Also 695 FE ?

12th - 98%
UG - 9.1 Rank - 8/160
GRE - 332 (GMAT Classic 750)
Multiple ECA’s
State level Tt player
Work ex - 2.5 years at a very big firm
Pretty Solid Essays(Got it reviewed by multiple Alumni’s)
Got an interview call for all the 3 time’s I’ve applied, an average interview all the 3 time’s, didn’t make in, so pretty much
