I have applied to 5 schools, worked with good consultant, but received 2 rejections and the other 3 are still pending but it is safe to assume it is a reject without interview. The consultant was sure I would get invites everywhere. Is that just a noise and bad luck or did consultant and I miss something?

I mean… are your scores good? Is your story compelling? Consultant is incentivized to be somewhat positive but that is surprising. I’m sorry though

The weakest point is undergrad grades. Test score is good though. Story is great. The consultant was also surprised but now saying that “it happens”
I came to him with the question and when he looked at my grades, he really did study the transcript, he said I am fine.

How weak are the grades vs your target school’s median?

Hard to tell without reading your essays / knowing your stats and knowing what schools you applied to. If 3 of those schools were HSW, well, they’re a crapshoot anyways. I’d be slightly worried if none of your 5 were hyper competitive like those, and you didn’t receive a single interview.

Anyways, round 2 is around the corner, so pick yourself up and go again

Your consultant is full of it. Bet they kept your money though

Even questions like "find the lesser of the two angles between the two hands of a clock, given the time" or simple geometry problems that don't need DSA knowledge is too hard to attempt.

They claim they know Angular/React/Spring without knowing basic Javascript/Java. 😒
