Would MBA adcoms invite someone to interview they knew almost certainly they wouldn’t accept?

I got interview imvites to my stretch schools with less than stellar stats and I’m feeling insecure / like they’re playing with my emotions

Um no adcom would not waste their time interviewing a candidate that they’re not interested in. Best of luck to you!

Don’t let that imposter syndrome creep in before your acceptance. If you got the interview you are qualified for those schools. Adcom would not waste their time as well as alumi’s time to conduct interviews if they didn’t think you could potentially contribute to their programs. Just try your best on executing during the interviews.

I felt the same exact way. Did some digging and came across this from someone’s independent analysis on GMAT Club. Really helped me realize, much as others are saying, that they wouldn’t interview you just to reject you. You have a realchance! It’s from 2016, but I imagine it’s rather accurate for today too.

Which schools?

They take waitlist potential applicants just as seriously. Outside of HSW, yields are under 60%. Means they churn through that waitlist

Well they also accept more ppl than their class sizes to account for the yield rates - they only tap into the waitlist when less ppl accept than expected

Have any of you ladies managed to get over an ex after being hung up on them for years? My ex and I broke up two years ago but I still think about him every day. We live in different countries and he’s now married - I’ve tried multiple therapists, changing cities, traveling loads, throwing myself into work, dating, self help books, you name it. While the pain has become much more bearable, it’s never gone away. Will it ever?
