I'll have to say this one has really hurt me, I was just too sure of an admit, heck! I was wondering how much $$$ I will manage to pull :/. A current Indian student was spot on when he said Kelly + R2 + Indian is tough nut to crack!
Congratulation to everyone here who got through! It is a great school with a lovely community, enjoy your stay.
It's a surprise that you can't get in, given your excellent stats. It seems Kelley pays even greater attention to LOR, essays and interviews.
I thought my profile was quite good for Kelley - i have 3 years of R&D and 3 yrs. of Project management experience in a very niche Defence & Aero. Industry, 740 in Gmat, ~3.6 gpa from a good Engg. school in India, 3 year part time work experience of managing our family business, a decent social work experience. Moreover, I did every single damn thing to research on Kelley & reflected that in my essays, and ended the process with a great PI, i suppose the only thing not going my way was a tag of being an (Indian+Engg.) candidiate... This feeling really sucks man!!
Looks like i am heading to BU now! :/
