xiaopanghu

hehe, the odds depend on the factors neo1001 mentioned.

面试对中国人来说，基本都是走过场的，主要看推荐信吧

neo1001

you said your work experience is not finance-related, so it does not help you in your case.
as for interviews, it depends on the schools, but you can think of the prior probability being about 5%-10% on average (top 50),  and if you get good stuff (GPA, GMAT, RLs and the other things I mentioned), your posterior probability is revised upwards.

by the way, you have any research experience? even as a RA? if yes, that might help a little bit

About the RA, has it to be tired up to the specific program, like what I did fit the professor of target program?
What  RA experience will help? Like, using SAS, or some stat package....here Pls be specific..thanks.
