I did - curious to how we landed in this pile (vs. flat reject).
Mentor
Would love to hear y’alls stories!
What were your stats/ECs?
had a friend in this pile a few years back i believe. ended up going to wharton. his stats:
27M
3.8-3.9 GPA big ten school, liberal arts major
ROTC, 4+ years military, commissioned officer, did time overseas, xo for his company, learned arabic
GMAT 780
another friend of his from the military had nearly the exact same profile and actually matriculated at HBS, so very hard to tell what the difference was
Same! Frustrating pile to be in, but better than nothing.
White female, 3.8 GPA top 10 UG, 720 GMAT, 2 years MBB + 1 year nonprofit.
Yeah- not ideal, but staying positive! 760, 3.7 (Ivy), MBB 3 YOE, Asian female. Story was about long-standing passion for / personal experiences in healthcare.
White male, 750 GMAT, 3.9 GPA top 20 UG, 2YOE MBB. I thought I had a strong essay & recs, I think having weaker ECs and only 2YOE likely hurt me
Same here. What are the chances of getting interviewed from this bucket?
FC this year and looking for hope. What ended up happening with y’all?
