Rejected w/o interview at Sloan. Reapplicant.

Got interviews at Wharton, Booth, HBS, SOM. So I’m not totally dejected but this rejection makes me wonder about my true chances at other schools.

You only can attend one school - don’t focus too much time on the schools that said no - get excited and prepare for the schools that said yes!

Rejected at Wharton and HBS but got an invite to Sloan. It’s all a crap shoot (and makes no sense). Best of luck. Great schools on your list!

Congrats on Sloan — exactly, truly a crapshoot. Good luck to you also!!

Could be a yield protection or fit thing. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Most applicants are qualified and would succeed in these MBA programs so splitting hairs to get it down to a small acceptance% can end up being arbitrary luck rather than a reflection of your qualifications.

Good luck and focus on doing your best with the schools you're still interviewing with!

Thanks so much for the positive vibes, A1!

Thank you all - got into HBS!

I had almost the exact same scenario as you. What makes you worried about other schools when you were clearly successful in most?

Don’t get me wrong though, a rejection stinks. I am also second guessing but am reminding myself that a school wouldn’t interview me unless they had a genuine chance of admitting. With multiple schools, we should feel confident that our app was worthy. Perhaps in this case it was something like fit, applicant pool ORM, etc.

What were your stats/ intended industry?

Eh I try not to let any one part of my application decide the outcome; prob a combination of things 🤷🏽‍♂️

I’ve had radio silence from a small investment bank for about a week now. I’ve completed several rounds of interviews, but last Thursday the firm reposted the job I’ve been interviewing for. On Friday the headhunter said that they’re not sourcing new candidates and it’s probably just LinkedIn automatically refreshing the listing. She said they had a busy week last week but will make a final decision this week - is the delay and radio silence a bad sign or is this typical for experienced hiring?
