Awesome work!! Must have taken loooaaddds of work but kudos to your ingenuity!! :)

I liked: It was no-hassle, no redirecting me anywhere, no hanging, easy-to-use for our users and also has the option to display for ALL-SCHOOLS as well. I guess a lot of thought already went into the use-case analysis. I will think of some suggestions as and when I get an idea.

I wished: Much of the user pool will love to get insights into the data and chances for other Top 25+ schools. I am sure this will be a work-in-progress and I am open to help if there is something!

Cheers again!!!

Thank you for the feedback!


P.S. I heard from a few current students who mentioned that we have been harshly grading their chances (we gave them below average chances) and we are looking at adjusting some of the variables to improve accuracy, which potentially will make some folks chances slightly better. We will be tweaking accuracy over time to dial it better.

If you are a current student or someone who got admits from past seasons, please give it a whirl, and let me know your thoughts/feedback!
Thanks!

I experienced this as well, looks like a glitch bb. (At least I'd hope it is, so I could see my chances improving :lol: )

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

Great tool. Wish I had this at the start of my application process. A few comments.

1) Can you provide a little more clarity on how background is defined? I would assume you mean ethnicity, but industry also plays a part I think.

2) I also think adding something for GPA would be helpful. As I think they showed high GPA + high GMAT adds to your chances of receiving an interview.

3) For the school portion, are you counting the specific college within the university, or the ranking of the university as a whole? AKA some school might be top 50, but their undergrad business is top 10.

4) Age bracket wise is it based on date of matriculation or date of application.

5) I personally don't mind having the grading be harsher as giving false hope is not good also. This is a "rough" outline on your chances, there is so much more to you as a candidate that could greatly affect your chances.

I have been wondering about this for a while now. I was born in Bangladesh (SE Asia) but I immigrated to the US when I was 14. As far as background, which bucket am I in? I can see landing in the over-represented bucket but I do think I have some unique characteristics. I went to one of the worst high schools in inner city Chicago. I had a ACT score in the 20th percentile. Most of my high school mates never went to college. I didn't have parents to provide any guidance. Whatever I did, I did mostly on my own.

Today, I am a 31 year old CPA at a fortune 50 company with multiple promotions. And within days, I hope to have a 690-750 GMAT score. Am I over-represented or am I in fact in the underrepresented bucket.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but your story may not be as unique as you think. There are plenty of candidates from similar or even less privileged backgrounds, or faced adversity on their way to success.

What will set you apart is how those experiences affected you and how you are a strong candidate because of those experiences and how they will serve to propel you even higher in the future. (Other people feel free to weigh in). What I am saying is the experiences along will not help your narrative, the way they shaped you and your future will.

On a more practical note, depending on the school, that story can be hard to weave in since you are given strict and concise word counts. An admissions consultant might be able to help provide ideas/critiques to make sure it fits with your overall narrative.

Hi and thanks for your question. There is value in having a diverse background as a degree but how is your work experience? Were you a biologist? The fact that your grandpa was not Indian is also pretty remote :-) sorry.

You will be considered an American applicant and somewhat normal.

I think you have fantastic accomplishments and other things going for you. Your strengths will come out on your resume and your essays.

You have a strong profile but not sure it can be called unique.

Great tool!
However when I change from "Average" to " Underrepresented" my chances decrease slightly.
The same happens when I go from Average ECs to Strong ECs...
Is that expected?
Found it to be a little weird.

Hi bb /team,
This is a great first step for people starting with their research. I was wondering if you could also incorporate a GRE metric to aid students who wish to apply on the basis of the GRE scores?

Thanks

Interesting tool. Not sure how accurate the tool is for others and didn't look through the 4 pages of replies, but this wasn't too accurate for me.

I think one factor it needs to take into account is what round the applicant is applying in. Round 1 is by far the easiest round. When adcom says Round 1 and Round 2 are the same, that is far from true. Even though the volume of acceptances compared to volume of applicants in both rounds are similar or the same, people don't realize that folks on the waitlist in Round 1 are carried over to Round 2 for assessment, so technically the denominator in the equation is actually higher in Round 2. Also, since adcom usually doesn't focus on the makeup of the class as much in Round 1, they go for the stories and the holistic view of an applicant more. But once they fill 40%-45% of a class in Round 1, they need to put the entire student profile under a microscope more in Round 2 and obviously in Round 3.

The schools I was accepted or waitlisted at were listed as Below Average, so I'm thinking there may be too much weight on grades rather than assessing combinations of things. For example, folks with strong WE and essays, but average GMAT and below average GPA tend to have decent chances (particularly in Round 1) vs. folks with strong GMAT/GPA, average WE, and below avg essays (which no one either will objectively admit or can tell without input from admissions or admissions consultants), depending on the tier school applied to. There are plenty of stats out there that show that the average scores of people denied from top schools are actually fairly close to the average stats of those accepted.

Hi All,
I recently graduated with MS in quantitative & computational finance (GPA - 3.5 on a scale of 4.0) from Georgia Institute of Technology (Ranked among top 13 programs so kind of tier-1 college, if that helps in feedback) and my undergrad is in Mechanical Engineering (GPA - 8.27 on a scale of 10.0, equivalent to 3.83 on a scale of 4.0) from NIT Patna (among top 100 engineering colleges in India, somewhere between tier-1 & tier-2). I have an experience of about 8 years in the same country the break-up of which is as follows in the reverse chronological order :
Consulting internship ( Big4) - 2 months
Education technology - (Product Management with the world's most valued start-up in its space) - 8 months
Financial Services (Equity Research with a mid-size brokerage firm)- 6 years
Petroleum( with a petroleum giant) - 1 year
What chances do I have for the following colleges realistically: INSEAD France, Harvard, Stanford, MIT Sloan, Chicago Booth, Columbia, LBS, Yale, HEC Paris, Wharton, Kellogg, Ross Michigan
GRE Score - 322 ( QA - 168, VA - 154, Writing - 3)
TOEFL - 101
I would appreciate your inputs and please feel free to share anything one would like to.

Hi bb,

I guess you didn't notice that I have GRE score and your platform supports only GMAT scores as I can see. Hence, having to ask this way.
