Whoa what happened? I didn't get dinged but don't have an interview either. I signed on and it still says "Complete and being evaluated" :?:


I'm sorry for all those who got dinged, I'm sure you will all get into a great school regardless....one that didn't require a cover letter...

ding!

I never felt a connection with the MIT application like I did with some of the others, so I guess its not a huge shock ...

Geez, that was quick. Dinged. Really counting on Chicago - they've been my preference over Sloan since the beginning, so here's hoping for an admit in a couple of days.

You're definitely not alone on that. I definitely feel that certain applications for whatever reason have let me express myself better than others, and I feel that the Sloan one definitely ranked near the bottom (this is in no way a dig on the school, it is and remains the landmark university for creativity, technology and entrepreneurship in my hometown-biased opinion). When your acceptance rate is 10%ish, you're definitely going to bump more than a few smart people solely due to that....

Ditto on that.

Haven't posted on this thread before, but I was dinged today as well. Didn't think they would send these out before the deadline, but guess I'm glad I didn't have to wait until February for this news. Good luck to everyone else with the same fate. And congrats to the few with invites!

Dinged as well. Looks like it was a slaughter today among GMATClubbers.

Best of luck to the rest of you who are still in it.
