Look Who Harvard and Stanford Rejected

Look at Sandy's commentary which I feel are quite reasonable explanations for the rejections.

People refuse to acknowledge the truth because they don't want to be completely honest about how unfair admissions can be. But college is destiny. If you had gone to Princeton instead of Penn, you probably would have worked for McKinsey instead of L.E.K. and then would have made a move to Goldman or Morgan Stanley instead of Barclays. You then would have been accepted at Harvard and Stanford. Instead, you might very well be going back to Wharton.

hilarious

Utterly obnoxious. Thank goodness I've chosen to not involve myself in any of that nonsense.

I guess if Mr. Sandy Kreisberg acknowledged the fact that the selection is for students who will be spending the majority of their time with little to no clothes on and with their heads either in a beer mug or a toilet or near genitalia, that wouldn't sound as congruent with his blossoming consulting service and insightful analysis.

I actually just read all these yesterday at Poets and Quants. Sandy is an odd one, but he does know his stuff.

Lmao

A H/S app is a total crapshoot, even if you are a top-tier applicant. How is this shocking?

Ignores admissions interviews? Big part of it

Lek barclays not getting sounds about right, chick with entrepreneur background more surprising.

Whatever bschool is overrated anyway, ranking should be something like this. Prestige of buyside firm >>>>prestige of bank > prestige undergrad/MBA.

Surprised the female tech applicant didn't get an interview. Not surprised by the other two - low GPAs are easy dings
