Guys,
I think there is some mistake. I'm 75% sure that 50% of the interviewed candidates get admits
Aenigma,
I think, Rose reads applications only when there is a tie( whether to interview or not). In all other cases the decision is made by the logic gate( 2yes's== invite to interview, if one is yes then Rose breaks the tie....remember??)

Fair enough, I feel like this is one of those things that has been hashed out before and I've just forgotten by now. That said, I did see this in an interview mbaMission conducted with Rose this past summer:
Quote:
mbaMission: How do you read an application? Do you pick up a PowerPoint presentation first or read a recommendation, perhaps?
RM: Typically, I go through the data portions. Work experience, numbers, schools, major, a little bit of parental background, kind of getting the overall profile, getting a sense of the candidate. Often I go right into the recommendation letters for a bit, just to see how somebody else perceives the candidate. Then, I read the application essays, typically spending a fair amount of time on the PowerPoint. When an application gets to me, it has typically been read at least four times, so I'm getting the benefit of a lot of different voices on that file.

So I dunno. At the end of the day, this is all just intellectual exercise. Who knows what the numbers are, who knows what the criteria, who knows? Here's hoping we buck the trend -- whatever the real numbers are -- and we ALL get in.

robertrdzak - Do you mind me asking when you took the GMAT and if you are positive that your score has not changed since? We have the same exact quant and verbal score but my total score was 20 points lower...
I know! I was just looking at that. I took my exam around the beginning of October/end of September. I've seen similar situations where people with the same Q/V score get different over all scores. I'm not sure how the algorithm is set up...very strange indeed.
(she had told me during the interview that she would connect me to someone who was interested in my industry area so I could learn more about Booth's resources for that area, so I followed up on that in my thank you email...mistake?)
