Both of you need to stop. This conversation is uncouth. This is not what this page should be used for. I’m sure you’re both equally intelligent in your own ways.

I don't understand why I cannot get an interview. Not sure if 700 is too low.

Anon, you said not getting a call for interview is absolutely fine. What happened now?
You earlier stated that the school only sends invites to very few. Now, I see you are getting impatient.

I am afraid you lack emotional intelligence. Everyone’s path is different. Everyone’s application and story is different. Just because someone has a 3.1 GPA or a sub 600 GMAT doesn’t mean they are not qualified to be at a certain school. That’s not how applicants are analysed. That’s not how life is in general. The sooner you learn this the better. Now please stop throwing a temper tantrum and turning this thread into a twitter TL.

agree and disagree. I dont think anyone with below 600 should be allowed into a top mba program. If they cannot crack above 30% percentile in the test how the hell are they going to compete in classes. GPA is different since different schools have different standards.

to play a devil's advocate, I guess if they are a foreign and scored high q and low verbal -that can be justified since verbal can be hard for foreigners.

Seriously dude this rant isn’t going to make the adcom’s decision come any faster, it’s out of your hands now. For your sake, I hope they don’t look at this board.

I wonder what percent of the class is filled? They have 474 students, which means they extend offer to around 1k applicants. GMAT decision tracker has about 150 acceptances...

4 out of 5 of their applicants get rejected during normal times. I wonder if that number is lower or higher now with everything going on

IMO people flooded with the apps hence not everyone is getting interview. Genius move by adcoms to waive gmat. No wonder they are a top marketting school

4 out of 5 of their applicants get rejected during normal times. I wonder if that number is lower or higher now with everything going on

Here's my clinical answer.

I can only assume that (i) they got a bajillion re-applicants when they re-opened applications to those who were denied R1 and R2, and (ii) they got a bajillion more when they said the were giving GMAT waivers.

I would assume the % admitted is much lower. Yet, I would assume they're managing current / future admits this year to protect their yield. I would suspect they're doing something like what follows below:

I'm assuming that, now, they're giving everyone a very (!) quick glance to see if there is anything (GPA / UG school, GMAT, former / current employers, former / current roles (or production / performance), or other graduate degrees (i.e., they already have their JD) that would make them really stand out ... then, they glance quickly through the application package ... and, if they stood out in a good way -- and -- articulated their story well ... then, these people are given an interview.

If they don't soil themselves in the interview, they get strong consideration for an offer ... and their application gets read by many prior to a decision.

Then, from this group, offers are extended and some are accepted ... and some declined. For each one that's accepted, the number of admits in the next iteration is reduced by two.

Rinse.

Repeat.

Until the class is full.

So, anyone who doesn't pretty quickly rise above the half-way mark is being put on hold (at least for the time being) ... so ... (unfortunately) if your application has been in for a while and you've not heard anything, while I'd wish for different for you, I would assume you should not wait around too long on Kellogg.

If you've relatively recently sent your stuff in, you may have been set aside like those who've had their stuff in for a while ... or ... they've just not gotten to you yet (again, I'm assuming there are two bajillion new applications to wade through).

You may have an AWESOME story, and good measurables ... but, maybe they way you told your story just didn't resonate with the adcom who read it. It doesn't take away from the quality of your background or the awesome things you will accomplish in the future.

This whole MBA admit process is a very (!!!) inexact science. It's horribly emotional for everyone (including adcom members, I assume). Hold your head up high and understand some committee somewhere doesn't dictate your worth -- just whether or not you have a chance to go to their school ... and remember, there are a nearly infinite number of successful people who never attended their employer.

I agree that they might have a received a lot of new applicants because of completely waiving GMAT/GRE, however, they will definitely filter out applicants looking at their quant/verbal background, however, I think the general industry is slowly moving away from standardized tests, I don't anticipate seeing GMAT/GRE in 10-15 years time. People have cracked the exam, specially students in India and China have done exceptionally well in these exams. Universities are looking for holistic ways to evaluate students.
