  1. In my case, I doubt I would have been considered for the program I was accepted to if I hadn’t done a TA/RAship during my MBA program. I had pretty average UG grades and mid 600s GMAT. I worked on a paper as an RA that was published in a mid tier journal, and it didn’t hurt that some of my recommendation letters were from profs that used to work for the program I’m going to before moving on to the same place I got my MBA. Also, I have nearly a decade of industry experience and couple years adjuncting. All of that kinda rounded out the profile I think and made up for some of my deficits.
  2. Approximately what ranking were the programs you were accepted? Just curious as my quant was very similar, but I didn’t apply extensively due to geographic limitations and all but one nearby program seemed a stretch.
  3. Thanks! I kind of assumed if I would have gotten an interview at this other program I wouldn’t have been a strong contender anyway.
  4. Thanks! Those are very impressive number. I am just going to say that I am very grateful to get an acceptance from an R1 school that won’t require a relocation for me and my family.
  5. Well its been an interesting week already, as my 1 application has been converted to 1 interview and 1 acceptance. This has been a long journey from when I had first considered doing a PhD ~5 years ago back when I started my MBA, and I hadn’t expected such a quick decision! They had hinted I was on the short list during the interview which surprised me a little, but I had put a lot of effort into indicating their program was a my priority. Now I wonder if I should have applied broader to a couple stretch schools, ugh. Anyone here get admitted (or at least get an interview) with GMAT scores fairly well below (say 50 pts or so) the program’s advertised averages? For instance, my score was in the mid 600s, and the stretch school I didn’t bother even applying to has advertised averages of ~700-720, and my score was 30-40 pts below what the admissions rep had deemed as “competitive”.
