Re: Interview Statistics and Acceptance Rates [#permalink]
I would also be curious to know these stats..

I heard somewhere that Harvard accepts 40% or so of the interviewees, while some other schools accept a far higher percentage.

I would imagine there are no hard stats on this, but anybody heard rough numbers?

Re: Interview Statistics and Acceptance Rates [#permalink]
I can only answer for Haas, which is generally between 50-75% of interviewed gets accepted.

UCLA seems closer to 60-70% (just a guess)

Stanford I heard is trying to push the rate to 60+%.

Kellogg it doesn't matter, everyone gets interviewed if there are alums in the area.

Anyone have an idea of the acceptance rates for those invited to interview at Wharton, Chicago or Yale? Seen a few different estimates out there.

Re: Interview Statistics and Acceptance Rates [#permalink]
Last year Wharton accepted approximately 38% of the people that were interviewed. This is not a great number and I was actually hoping for a much higher percentage...... :evil:

I think we'd all like a higher percentage here. :)

Nevertheless, nice find!

Re: Interview Statistics and Acceptance Rates [#permalink]
yeah, nice find!

see, i disagree though, ryguy. i mean, yeah, it would be great if it were 100% acceptance and we could all go to our dream school, but i translate a low % as an opportunity for more people to get face to face with adcom and add some color to their application. maybe that's just me...or a few weak spots in my application...speaking... :roll:

that being said, i heard stern was closer to 60/70%.

Haas: Interviews around 25%-ish, and accepts around 65-75% (they have a slightly higher acceptance rate than most schools because of Super Saturday--a higher majority of students who go to SS are accepted because attending SS is considered a strong sign of interest, and therefore likely to help the yield stat).


good analysis jc! The only thing I would add is that at this year's SS for R1 at Haas, they said specifically that they interviewed 20% of the R1 applicants. Given that last year's acceptance rate was around 14%, and this year may hover between 12-14%, that's a roughly 65-75% rate, just like you said. :)
