what value does calling and informing candidates ahead of results announcements? I don't see a reason why they need to call. Read in forum from last year that they did call candidates ahead of results, but does anyone know the purpose of this call? Are they asking any specific question in this call?

Hi guys,
My first post here seeking some feedback on the EA scores.

Got 166 overall, with the following breakdown:
IR: 18
VA: 10
QA: 18

As you can see VA is quite low. How does this reflect on the overall application? Thanks for any inputs!

I am not sure how the VA score will reflect on your application but you can see some analysis on the EA score percentiles in the following link. Did you apply to Wharton EMBA?

Thanks @!

Haven't applied yet, but planning to. Now that the EA is out of the way, I am focusing on the essays. That percentile table says 166 is 98%ile so I think it's fine on the overall score. Just that VA is a bit lower than what I expected. If it's good enough to not ding me, then I am satisfied with the score.
