Towards the end of last year, Jose and I concocted the idea behind mbabuzz.com. It was a real simple idea: what if we allowed applicants to MBA programs to plot out their admission scores, aggregate the data, and allow people to see if there were any trends. In essence, allow users to graphically see what was happening during their MBA application process.

Jose and I built the site in our spare time outside of class last semester and we’ve had a warm welcome in the MBA community. We have about 500+ users right now who have all submitted their data. This summer, we created an algorithm which takes all of our aggregate data, and uses it to predict chance of interview and admission on an individual basis. The algorithm is pretty good, and we expect it will only get better as we get more data.

Let me know what you think of the site. Hope you like it!
