Hello there! I wanted to get your thoughts on the outcomes I received this year and I would also like to request advice for how to get off the waitlist for one of my schools.
R2 - Consortium Applications
--------------------------------
Michigan (Ross) - Rejected
UCLA (Anderson) - Rejected
NYU (Stern) - Rejected
CMU (Tepper) - Accepted
UTAustin (McCombs) - Accepted
Cornell (Johnson) - Waitlist after interview
Consortium - Rejected
R3 - Regular Application
---------------------------
Duke (Fuqua) - Rejected
Stats
------
Sex: Male
Race/Nationality: Indian/American
GPA: 2.76 (Electrical/Computer Engineering at a state school in the north east)
Grad GPA: 4.00 (MIS at a school in the north east)
GMAT: 690
Work Exp: 2.5 years Software Engineer at Fortune 500 (big telecom) (1 Promo), 1.5 years Tech Consulting at Big 4 (1 expected promo) (leading consulting engagement + won engagement extension worth $$$)
Extra Curricular: CS Tutor for underprivileged kids; mentored interns at work
Career Goal: Go into Tech Product Management; I built my profile/essays around this goal but as you can see, I was only able to convert 50% of the applications from R2. I know my GPA is terrible, and my GMAT is average but keeping that in mind, did I peak with the schools I received admits from or do guys think I could have done better?
