I don't think I understand your question--would a b-school even extend an interview to you after it's offered you admissions? Sounds like a waste of resources/time...

I'm sorry. The school I plan to apply to (USC) interview all "bordline" applicants.

If you're clear admit or clear deny they don't bother. I'm thinking it's likely I'm considered borderline since I will have a high GMAT and good work experience but with a low GPA for undergrad studies.

If I am forced to interview it means they're on the fence basically.
