What is everyone's take on the MBA Data Guru's analysis concluding the Johnson acceptance rate after an interview is 67% ?
https://www.mbadataguru.com/blog/admissi ... ance-rate/This is the 3rd highest rate for top 20 schools after NYU Stern and UCLA Anderson. Does anyone know of any research to contradict this or does an interview invite truly hold that much weight?
I'd take it with a pinch of salt.
The analysis is solid and I have no question with method or the conclusion drawn from the dataset.
But the dataset was from this website, where applicant pool is a bit different than average. It has higher GMAT rate. Also, possibly has more applicants from India. Those two factors alone can sway those results and that number in a meaningful way.
That is not to say that instead of 67 the number would be less than 50. But if that website gives number 67, I personally would take it within 10-15% margin - arbitrarily chosen number to keep my enthusiasm in check!!
