Hi, this is a great initiative. Please try to incorporate deferred MBA programs too that require no work experience

How did you arrive at the weighting for the application components? For example, I noticed that Tepper has GMAT at 60%. And does this mean that 60% of your application's importance lies with the GMAT? Thanks!

Good Work!! Very helpful in assessing possibilities!!

It would be better if there's a provision to check using GRE scores too.

Hi. I am working on adding the GRE scores to the drop down. Waiting on the tech team right now. Meanwhile, here is a workaround for you:

You can apply the GRE scores using this conversion table for the sake of this tool ONLY:


GRE = GMAT
330+ = 760+
325–329 = 730-750
321-324 = 700-720
315-320 = 650-690
310-314 = 600-640
300-309 = 550-590

Wow very good tool! I have a couple of questions:

1. Does an "Under Represented" has more odds to be selected (Ceteris Paribus)? I thought so, but when doing a sensitivity analysis I found that when switching from "Average Representation" to "Under Represented", odds became worse.
Is it a mistake or there's something I don't know?

2. When saying "average" you mean each individual school average? For example if Chicago Booth has 20% acceptance rate the "average" is 20%?

Thanks for the question. That sounds odd. We have just updated the tool to accommodate GRE scores so it is possible something is off. I will check it once on a computer.... technically chances should go up.

As to average chances, that indicates that your profile matches the profile of those admitted and so this should be your target school. I don’t know that 50-50 is the best example but definitely better than 20%. I guess it means that that based on the information submitted, your profile is average and that while there’s nothing preventing you from being admitted, there’s also nothing that’s tens out.

Obviously, we are not reading your essays or listening in on your interview or screening your letters of recommendation so there’s a lot of wiggle room and this should basically tell you that you need to put extra umph in those areas to stand out.

Hope it helps and thanks for the question. I will be trying it out.

Hi. You are right. There seems to be an issue with the under-represented option. We will be fixing it ASAP.

Loved the initiative. A very easy to use feature. I am sure with more tweaks and schools added this will turn out to be remarkable.

There are students with masters or other dual/advanced degrees trying for an MBA especially from India (Dual degree from IIT and M.Sc or PGDBM from IIM)

Can we have an additional parameter where the tool evaluates if candidate has an additional degree and base the outcome on that

Regards,
HK

first of all, thanks for the hard work bb , but when I choose Stanford business school, the probability of work experience is "low" , I'm saying this because we don't need work experience for getting accepted, that's why I am confused here. Below is the screenshot of the reply the school gave to me during a live session. Highlighted in blue.

Below is the screenshot of the reply the school gave to me during a live session. Highlighted in blue.

I assume we are talking about the FT program application for MBA and not deferred program or MSx.

Technically most business schools don’t require a minimum for a number of things. They don’t require a certain GMAT score, they don’t require a certain GPA, or to write a grammatically correct essay and some they don’t require work experience (though most do.). However it really helps when you have these things.

Schools like diversity and they may admit and Olympic gold winner who has a low GMAT score or how member of the royal family who has no work experience. However, while all these things are not required, somehow the average class profile has a gym out of 730 and the average work experience is 4 1/2 years.... let me know if I missed your point.

Thank you for posting the screenshot!
👍

For Stanford your application has to be amazing. If you don’t have work experience, you must have a gold medal in both Sumo wrestling and figure skating. 😂 just kidding. You basically have to have a better profile than all other applicants without full time work experience. Stanford takes in a handful likely and your profile has to be stronger than the rest of the applicants when comparing apples to apples.

For most, I don’t recommend getting an MBA without work experience.
