Did Anyone hear back from the college as yet
My interviewer(second year student) said they will roll out admission before the deadline . When exactly he also dint knew.
The wait is killing .
I also had another doubt .
I believe that I have a solid profile and good score , but due to some reasons the interview did not go well, it became rather monotonous and boring. Does anyone know whats the ratio to interview calls to final admits and also how critical ( or what share) will the interview be on my final decision.

Regards and best of Luck to everyone

Well I am not absolutely sure about the exact ratio of converts but I think its somewhere around 70%. The interview itself will not make or break your candidacy, it is just suppose to mirror your application in general. Having gone through a couple of forums from last year's admission season, I noticed a couple of people getting dinged who claimed their interview experience was really positive. So even I am really anxious at this moment. :)

70%?!

Doesn't that seem a bit far-fetched? Even MIT's yield is 50-60% and they probably had one of the highest because they interview so less people. Are you sure about this figure? If this is true, you just made me a million times more happy and anxious at the same time! :P


:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Haha no man, i am not sure at all,its all just conjecture at this moment. I just checked last years Gmat Club stats for McCombs R1 . Apparently there were 153 applicants, of which 58 interviewed and eventually 45 were accepted. So that should give you a rough idea even though we all know that these stats are not reliable as it all depends on the number of users who update their application profiles. But i think a 60-70% admit rate should be believable. At least I want to believe it. :D

I may tend to be biased as I would like to believe the percentage, 70%... but I wanted to highlight that it is not a ridiculous number.
You mentioned about MIT Sloan's admittance after interview was 50 to 60 percent, and having so few people being invited for the interview..

According to the US NEWS, MIT had 819 enrollment and the acceptance rate was 13.1%. which would yield total of 6252 apps.
On contrary, the McCombs had acceptance rate of 32.6%, and 511 enrollment... again, yielding total of 1567 apps..

If your number was correct, assuming the 60% yield rate, MIT would have conducted interviews for 1365 people. That's only 200 people shy of the total number of APPLICANTS for McCombs..
I don't think MIT is interviewing such a small number of applicants.. It is the balance between total number of apps and the percentage..

Are you sure you got the enrollment figures right? Because as far as I know, MIT admitted around 600 people last time around (with their class size being somewhere near a 100-150 lesser - not sure how accurate is this to take it with a pinch of salt). But talking to a few current students, I've found out that they interview only 30-35% of their applications out of which they select 50-60% bringing the overall admittance rate close to 15-16% including both rounds.

As for McCombs, I think your analogous analysis is pretty much correct. Or should I say I really hope to god it's correct! :P ;)

Hey guys,

Did anyone of you get a reply to Thankyou mail that you might have sent to the interviewer post your interview?

just was curious- whether reply or no-reply means anything positive or negative?

I interviewed with a 2nd year student. She was very nice and the interview was very conversational.. After the interview, I sent a thank you mail and she replied to it.

I interviewed with a member of the adcom and received a reply within 24 hrs of my e-mail. Though even I don't think so it means anything. Moreover, I think I could have done better at the interview.

BTW - I had uploaded a video response to the first question. Yesterday I checked the analytics on youtube, and my video response was seen on Nov 13th. So probably the outcome of my application would have been decided by now.

The wait is killing...

yeah, I think more or less decisions might have been freezed for most of us.

Btw in mycase although according to me interview went fine but my interviewer who was 2nd year student did-not bother to acknowledge to my Thaks mail - so should I consider end of story for myself?

I don't think the response to thanks mail indicates anything at all. While I have received a response to my mail from McCombs, I did not get a response from Goizueta after my interview. However, last Thursday I received an admit with scholarship from Goizueta. Summary - the response indicates nothing!

My interview went like above avg to good from my side.. I sent an email to my interviewer, a 2nd year student. He didn't reply to me which is giving me the jitters. I mean I felt that my interview went really well but since he didn't reply, now I feel that maybe it was just average to good.

Let's just hope for the best !
