Sloan 2013 (MIT) - Calling All Applicants

Invited to interview! Indian candidate. Interview in Mumbai next week.

Congrats! Bro, you are definitely killing it Alumni or adcom member?

Anyone else heard in India?

Thanks str1der!It's an adcom member.

Are Sloan's interview invites really geographically based? Seems pretty random to me so far..

all Invited! for only India's student. Interview in delhi coming week

Vinash - you mean you were invited to interview in Delhi next week? What date? Congrats and all the best! I heard on another forum that you can see the number of slots online - how many are available in Delhi and how many already filled?

So does this mean india invites are over?

Please let us know if anyone in China / East Asia got an interview invitation...

Thanks MALD2011! Hope they've not started or done with NC area yet...

I attended the online chat yesterday. They're still reviewing some applications, will continue to review and send out invites until d day. In the meantime, rejection letters may go out any day.

Saw a lot of D.C. people get invites already...does this mean I'm dead in the water?

You can find online some of the questions that Sloan asks just by doing an easy search. Most of the questions are behavioral and I would recommend you glance over them. Just read the questions and think of some stories in your life that would relate but DO NOT prepare answers (That would make your answers seem unnatural and rehearsed). What I found during the interview was that when I was asked one question, the story I picked and formulated ended up answering 3 at once (I guess because I had that list of questions in mind).

For example with a question such as: "Tell me a time when you asked for help" you can talk about a project that you took up but had difficulties completing the task on time and therefore had to ask someone for their help. But you can also answer questions such as "what's your greatest weakness" "something you have done that you are proud of" "how would your coworkers describe you" just by the way you frame your answer.

I am not saying that is the way you should go about your interview but I found that it helped me feel like I have used the interview time effectively to paint as big of a picture of myself as possible.

Just remember, if you got an interview YOU ARE QUALIFIED. What the interview does is see if you can communicate and if you FIT THE CULTURE. So the best way to prepare is come to campus and meet some of the students.

Congrats folks! Hopefully, more to come

Anyone from Canada (Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal) receive an invite?

No invites for US mid-west region yet. Although I pretty much resign because I am an Indian male engineer candidate with a below avg GMAT and GPA. Huh..no country for Indian men

This made me chuckle.

Keep your chin up my friend.

Thanks IcanIwill. I am just putt-sing around. Of course I am eagerly waiting for that interview invite. Sometimes all the hyper competitiveness gets me. Right after I wrote that, I walked by an ugly poster in my office saying "Attitudes are contagious" and then I raelize that I shouldn't be spreading this down attitude.

I dont think you need that attitute for yourself as well -)

One more reason to like this forum. I hope all you guys will be my classmates at Sloan
