Hi Admissions Team,

I applied in the regular decision (submitted 1/Dec/2012)

Was notified of not being admitted yesterday.

I was wondering how can I know the reason ?!!

I have 710 GMAT (Q48 V 40)
GPA 3.77
7 years of Private equity experience with lots of hands on experience and board memberships in portfolio companies

Why Would I not be admitted- not even invited to interview ?

Appreciate your guidance, maybe its something I can fix for other school applications

First of all no one can judge this based on the above information.
Secondly why not ask the adcom politely what went wrong? You do not have anything very stellar that every college would be dying to take u. You could have messed your essays or could have not shown your strengths properly.
