Sloan 2013 (MIT) - Calling All Applicants

Thank you! I just logged in to check and my decision is NOT online.


Thanks. So awesome! I'm really glad to see you are having so much success, too! Any closer to making a decision?

Thanks and nope...still waiting to hear from 1 more school before I'll decide.

Hi experts/admission consultants/applicants,

I need your advice regarding an important issue.I converted my GPA through (WES)World Education Services (3.54/4.00).My GPA on a 10.0 scale is 6.68 but since the grading system at my institute(comparable to IIT's - top10)is tough I don't know what the Adcoms will make of my 6.68 GPA.Also,not many people from my college apply to B-schools so I have no idea how adcoms will normalize my scores. I even submitted an alternative transcript from mbamath.com scoring 100/100 marks in 24 quizzes.My GMAT score is Q51,V41.

I didn't know that most of the schools were AccessWES clients,which means that they can see my verified transcripts and converted GPA online only without me having to send any transcripts from WES. I mailed to schools regarding this.

Columbia replied to the mail and added my GPA on a 4.0 scale.
Stanford replied to the mail stating that they won't make any addition to the application.(Frankly,this is not an addition,just my GPA on another scale to help the adcoms normalize my scores)
Wharton replied to the mail stating that they will ask the operations team to look at my WES 4.0 GPA but I don't have nay follow-up whether they have taken my 4.0 GPA into account.
My application data in 2 data forms was not updated in HBS Application form.I sent a mail to HBS on 7th itself(R2 deadline) but didn't get any reply.I again sent a mail on 24th regarding the data in application form and 4.0 GPA issue but have not received any reply. Should I go ahead and phone the admissions office about the issue?They are issuing invites tomorrow so I thought they might be busy and will reply to my mail later.(but 22 days and no reply)

MIT Sloan also didn't replied to the mail.Should I wait for some days before reminding on mail again or should I phone the admissions office rightaway?

My question is :-Is it okay if I call up HBS,Wharton and MIT Sloan's office or is there any different strategy for the 3 schools. I thought it was polite to just write a mail and wait for their response but geting no response at all takes me to the nail-bitting mode

I greatly appreciate your help and time in advance.Solving this issue might help calm my nerves.Really stressed for the past week.

I got the call! Can't believe it!!! This whole thing feels so much more real now that I've been admitted at my top-choice school.

Status is not online yet for me either. Good luck to everyone!

I hate this feeling of sitting here waiting for my phone to ring and knowing that most people have already gotten their calls..

when can we expect interview invites for r2?

Congratulations!!

Yup I know that feeling... Good luck to the remaining folks waiting to hear...

Any internationals called?

Don't sweat, everyone! For what it's worth, I was one of the first interviews (mid-December). Perhaps that has some impact on the order in which calls are made?

Probably not the best day to ask this question as everyone's in the middle of R1 results
