Hi. I had applied for the role of Data Scientist - Analyst in Accenture and filled out the EAF form. I applied using a referral around November 16th. My profile was kept on hold (The status showed "Candidature on Hold") and when I checked today, it showed that my candidature was rejected.
I was not called for an interview or even a discussion and yet, my profile was rejected. Any reason why?
I am not on notice period. I have 2YOE in Support env. and I am about to complete my PGP in DS. Accentur

Asian? It’s over. You need a 850 or 900 on your GMAT.
Shoot your shot. I have a 720 after trying three times and getting the same score each time and was really worried about today but got invited.
Congrats C1!! Any tips on the essay writing? That’s definitely my weak part
I’m Asian F Chinese immigrant with 3.8 GPA and 740 GMAT, Big 4 accounting background. I got an interview invite. Funny thing is I wasn’t going to apply because I was worried I wasn’t good enough. Believe in yourself and shoot your shot!

That profile you mentioned, there's just a lot of them. I think schools want a balanced class otherwise every single person would be from a similar profile/background.
OP, that’s such bad logic. You don’t have to quit but find a job that’s more suitable for ur business school odds (if that’s your absolute goal). Don’t forget our race and gender has also provided us with countless opportunities

It’s almost like after a certain point, stats don’t matter as much. Maybe those people got rejected because even though they have accomplishments on paper, they failed to translate those accomplishments in an interesting/exciting way, and made them seem as a boring cookie cutter candidate.

Exactly, adcoms are subjective beings. You will never know 100% if you have a good chance or not.
Got into HBS last year as Asian male with 3.9/720 from T10 UG so definitely possible - essays matter!
Focus on your essay, that’s the clear difference
It’s more than about score. Have an interesting story or background AT LEAST
Do you really need to attend HBS? Plenty of other M7 schools that can get you where you want to go.
I mean, no one needs to attend HBS. A M7 is a reasonable substitute for any applicant. But I’m sure almost anyone would prefer to attend HBS and not have their chances dashed before even applying.
