GRE 170

This was a particularly tough year, and I don't blame the admission team for their decision. I had perfect GRE scores, a Master's from an Ivy league, 3 years research experience (mostly part-time though) and my recommenders were very famous tenured professors at a top 5 institution in the US (I could hardly get any better than that). In a normal year this may have been enough, but this year you need to have an absolutely impressive profile to get in. My sincere congratulations to all who made it! Well deserved.

GPA 4.00

People: if you got rejected, do not belittle others' success! I was rejected as well and I'm sure those admitted deserved being so. Congrats! My background: Grad GPA is 4.0 as well. Degree from a top US institution. Three years of research experience. Already published an article. More than 5 presentations in conferences. Letter writers have been already cited more than 50 times each of them only this year.

Top master student from France. I did my bachelor's in Latin America. Honors in all my studies. I didn't have famous recommendation letters, probably the most important thing. Good luck to everyone!

I it was a long shot as my research interests are somewhat different from the department core anyway. MA and two years of RAship at a top B-School did not help.

My research interests are too finance-oriented. (I want to believe this is the reason for the rejection.)
