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.

BSD,
Let me know when you are planning on starting the new b-school. I will definitely help you with it
.
And, we would probably get a high ranking with the high GMAT scores all of us have anyway.
Watch out USNews, here we come!

Okay...time to post my stats..
GMAT: 720
WE: 3.5 Years
Age: ~26
Applications: 4
Dings - 3
Interviews: 1
WL - 1
Which school hurt the most?
LBS - for it was my dream school when I started applying. But then, I applied in R1 without much knowledge of the entire B School application process. Now, when I read my Wharton and LBS applications, I find them so funny that even I would have no qualms about rejecting those two apps.
What next?
Still thinking...Will need a couple of months to digest the fact that I won't be going to school this year. Should also see how things change at work.
Why lack of success?
I think its because of the way I told my story and probably the recommendations(blind..
)
Next year?
I plan to re-apply to LBS and Stern. I will try to take some courses, change my job function, and do some activities to improve my profile.

You guys have strong profiles, and the right attitude is not to give up.
Many of you already know what went wrong, and honestly, for some of you that I know more close histories and essays I'd say that timing was the biggest issue. Even if the WLs do not turn into admit, you guys already know that R1 is the key. R2 sucks.
Looking for my own case, I believe that what I did right was to understand my competition, I was planning to apply with a 670GMAT, had chosen a handful of schools, but after studying a lot (I'm not as smart as you guys) I was VERY lucky, and that made me change some of my target schools (though GSB was already there). I wouldn't apply neither to Stanford nor to MIT, and changed my mind because I knew, specially with Sloan, that with the score I got my whole profile was stronger. I think that you guys should reflect about what would bring excitment on the other side of the table: GMAT, WE, EC...
I'll have a very hard April month (work and personall things), but I'd like to help you with what I can. Later I'll let my whole GSB and MIT application on the essay vault, and if you want I can read your application and see what I can help (if I can help).
