turbo2008 - can't agree more - hope many people from this site get in.

Somehow I get the feeling that people who make these calculations fall into the Chicago stereotype, maybe that's a sign for good fit?

From what I have heard, the waiting list in Chicago Booth does not move at all. Waiting list is basicially a long ding.

hope we can get a Y or N but there's also another possible result on 16 Dec, which is waiting list.....

Disclaimer: I know that calculating acceptance rate and making a ton of assumptions is pointless but it is FUN and a great way to waste time … lol

Thecow10000 – In my best case scenario, I tried to remove as many assumptions as possible. That is why I tried to get around the yield %.

Frankly, in the end the decision to each one of us is binary (yes, no). Lets hope that a significant number of chasedreamers get in.

10% for R3 sounds right  It's consistent with many schools.  However, Chicago adcom did mention that they receive more applicants for R2...  therefore I would peg the % at R1 42%, R2 48%, R3 10%.  

Chicago's yield is usually not as high as 70%.  It usually top at 65% (but this year is tougher so maybe they will expect a higher yield).  Maybe we can take something like 2/3 for our calculation sake.

I am pretty confident that last year's enrolled is 591 = 4200 * 22% * 64%.  
To be conservative, lets expect 5% growth in applicants to 4400 * 42% for R1 * 50% interviewed = 920 (Rose: "over 900")
If we conservatively expect enrollment of 590 again divide higher yield of 2/3 and * 42% = 372 accepted.
372/920 = 41.3333% (acceptance of those who have been interviewed).

Just my 2 cents.

Just to make everyone happy (especially myself), lets look at the best case scenario:
Number of offers extended= 4200 * 22% = 924.
Assuming the distribution of offers for the 3 rounds are 10:9:2 (48%, 43%, 10%).
There will be 440 offers extended in R1. Acceptance rate of 49% for those who interviewed in R1!

You are right. So i am fully prepared for any result coming out next week. We all should forget about it after interview. Let the god ( Maybe Rose at this time) do his own job.

hehe, caught you here. I got your voice msg late Sunday night...

I also heard the yield rate is roughly 50-60%. A 2003 graduate even told me ~60% acceptance rate after interview, and he got in rd3 without an interview. I think the number varies year by year. Only Rose knows these all.

Just to make your guys happier,

Here is the stats for class 2009. Total applicants is 3843 http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/rankings/full_time_mba_profiles/chicago.html

They didn't list their yield rate here as other schools did. But from what I heard the yield rate of booth is 55%-60%.

I agree with weeksuper, they probably will waitlist more people in R1 than give out all 440 offers. I wouldn't expect this year will be more competitive than last year, so I guess R2 will be better and some people will get off WL then.

No matter what, good luck to everyone!!!
