Ding-dong-ding. 700/3.7 GPA/ 8 years WE. Currently a Sloan student, not MBA tho., wanted to so change the program . Started a student club here, finalist in the 100K competition. Looks like the admits will indeed be superhumans ! ...and to top it all Sloan AdCom "does not have the resources" to give feedback to applicants. (Wharton with 7000+ applicants still does it, looks like the Dean really has to give Rod some strategy lessons and money to do it!)
been lurking up until now. ding for me in cambridge as well. rod's got some nerve saying that they can't spare the time of 2 employees to provide feedback for 4200 (assuming 500 of the 4700 receive acceptance offers) applicants. considering how much one spent in time (avg of 40hrs) and money ($250+GMAT) on each application, they can't spare 2 people to provide feedback for the 168,000 hrs (4200*40) that we put in?! julie strong has said that they spend 20-25 minutes on each application, what's another 2 minutes to give us a few sentences of feedback as they go through our app?
just venting here. i was expecting a ding and knew that they didn't provide feedback. for those of us who received bad news on the ding day, is it even worth reapplying without significantly improving your application in 8 months time? yeah, i know the acceptance rate for reapps is higher... 18%. whoopty doo.
