I got rejected from NYU after being interviewed. I thought i had a stellar profile but i don't know what happened.
Had a 2.7 cgpa in Bachelors
Just completed my Masters in Public Policy from Harvard with a 3.7 CGPA
Had a GMAT Focus Edition Score of 725 (Perfect Quant and Verbal) (99% percentile in the world)
Also had 5 years solid government consulting experience.

Need some advice, i believe my essays were also solid. I thought only Harvard and my GMAT score was enough to get me in, but i believe i was wrong :(
