"high GMAT doesn't yield high admission possibility"----biased

High GMAT alone doesn't yield high admission possibility.

statistically there can be all sorts of correlation among various factors, but such correlation may not reveal any causal effect.

after reading leapon's study, i'm so intrigued to find out whether:

1) last minute submission has any penalty;

2) a pm interview time slot gains any advantage over its am counterpart;

3) an applicant's next-door neighbor's cousin's ex-wife's sexual orientation has any impact on the success rate of application;

4) a full moon leads to better gmat score....

i'm now really fascinated to think about these questions.

不好意思,你的推理是偏见的,基于申请人除GMAT外其他条件无显著差异.
但实际中,很多背景不怎么样的人由于750+的G就都想冲冲好学校.
而G<700的人仍然申请Wharton的一般对自己的其他条件很自信.

Pinghuang: This is exactly my point. The application case is a multivariate analysis. I am taking a "partial" view at this problem.

I should say it more clearly this way: High GMAT alone doesn't lead to high admission rate

我觉得看录取数字比较准。大概可以认为，Wharton 分数是 710 左右成正态分布。

至于拒了多少人，没什么意义。因为只要 GMAT 达到 750 的人，都会想试试 H/W/S。而考 660 还敢申请，一定别的方面拒牛。所以你即使统计比例上占优势，也没什么意义。

你有一天突然发现一个统计结果，说中国男篮去年拒了 20 个身高 2 米以上的运动员，只拒了 3 个以下的。这能用来解释中国男篮招人不看身高，矮个子不吃亏吗？

所以要看2 米以上拒的百分比，2 米以下拒的百分比，我不是煞费苦心的算出750+，700-的百分比嘛。

有些人就是喜欢算这些咚咚，。。。
