You said you don't work for McK. Why don't you "shut your trap and mouthing off" as you put it when it comes my McK interview experience which had applicants mostly from Wharton and HBS with 7 interview sessions, 3 rounds.
"I have done a sanity check, and I know that the number of offers from top school are OVER FIFTY ON AVERAGE."
Well then, logical conclusion for me is that you are insane but I'm pretty sure you are not. 'FIFTY' offers at top 5 MBA schools is not 30% 'offer rates' as your analysis concluded. For example, Wharton 2nd year population is ~ 800 and number of McK offers in 2003 was ~50. So McK success rate was ~6% at Wharton in 2003 (assumes all offers are accepted)

Last note: I was little bit edgy on the last post and also on this due to my annoyance with Whartonkid.

Right, you forgot to mention that you are assumming all 800 students applied to McK. In 2004, I believe there were well over 70 offers at Wharton, and yield is nowhere near 100%.
For the final time, MBA applicants only go through two rounds. I can say this because I went through the entire process for both rounds.
