Taking the GRE for your graduate school application? You\u2019re in luck. Each month, we are featuring a series of admission tips from our exclusive admissions consulting partner,\u00a0<\/i><\/b>mbaMission<\/i><\/b><\/a>.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n You have a high GRE score and a 3.75 GPA. You have made solid career progress and procured glowing recommendations. You have been actively volunteering in your community for years. You worked hard on your application and landed an interview at your target school, where you felt you did well. But you still did not get in. You must have done something terribly wrong in your interview or unwittingly made a mess of your essays, right? Not necessarily.<\/span><\/p>\n We recently spoke with the admissions director at a top program who explained that his school does not give feedback to rejected candidates because it is simply a waste of the candidate\u2019s and admissions staff\u2019s time. The admissions director told us that the school would need to nitpick in order to give candidates something to work on and to ensure that they filled the time during these hypothetical feedback sessions. He explained that nine times out of ten, the feedback that they offered to weaker candidates would be patently obvious and that countless strong applicants had done nothing wrong at all. In fact, most candidates create their best applications, but space is simply limited in the class.<\/span><\/p>\n Although this may not be comforting if you were rejected, you may just have been the victim of a competitive process during a competitive year. We suggest that you honestly assess your own candidacy and consider staying the course as you continue applying. Spending significant time revamping your applications may be a waste of time and a losing strategy. Patience may prove beneficial in the long term.<\/span><\/p>\n Taking the GRE for your graduate school application? You\u2019re in luck.
