Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

Hi all,
Misery seeks company. I'd like to invite here everyone who applied for the class of 2008 and ended up with zero admits. It would be useful to share a bit of info about yourself.
Would be useful for others if you could answer the following (I have filled my own answers):
GMAT Score : 720
Work Experience : 7+ years
Location : Australia
#Applications : 6
#Dings : 4
#Interviews : 3
#WL : 2
Which ding hurt the most and why ?
Chicago hurt the most. I really wanted to go there.
What next ?
Writing letters of intent to my waitlist schools and preparing for next years application rounds.
Why the lack of success?
To be quite honest, I dont know. I am still trying to figure out by getting experts on the forum to review my essays. I can attribute the first 3 dings to poor application essays.

The saddest post on the forum. I hope the WL will turn out positive and then you can renounce your membership. Hopefully no one else will have to join this thread. I hope I won't next year.
