I agree with uphill, it is pretty ridiculous if you got dinged because of a 710. Anything lower than the middle 80% seems like a valid reason to ding someone compared to similar peers with higher GMATs. I think I read too much on various forums when I now believe that my 730 is not good enough to put aside any tension that I will get dinged because of my GMAT. It seems like 90% of applications have 700+ scores even though that represents less than 10% of GMAT takers.

Btw, does Columbia have a blind interview where the interviewer has not read your application? If yes, I think this kind of plays into it as well. Since they have not read the essays, they put more weightage on numbers like GMAT or GPA and let those color their vision. While I still do not have an opinion as to whether a blind interview is better or where the interviewer has read your complete application (like that for NYU), I do believe numbers play a bigger role in a blind one if they actually ask for it.

Guys, I need to clarify a few things
- I am NOT telling for sure that my 710 was the reason for not making it
This is one of my speculations of where I might have been lacking
- My interview experience is defn not representative of the whole CBS culture, but I just found his comment to be on the odd side
- My post was just the verbatim of what my interviewer said - ofcourse no school has an average gmat ~750 and obv I cudn tell it on his face
Sorry if I had mislead anyone, it was not meant to taken as a benchmark.
All the best people!!
