And so - after a month and a half of deliberation - I've decided to let go of my Sloan waitlist position, and accept a place a Tuck! I know this may have seemed a no-brainer to a lot of you, but I assure you it was not a quick'n'easy decision to make. I love both schools to bits, but as an international, there were eventually just more cons than pros in waiting to be accepted at Sloan.

I cannot begin to describe how uplifting the decision is, and how much clarity it has given me. There's much to still be done, but I'm ready for it - Fall couldn't arrive sooner!

It has been a pleasure hosting this thread over the past year, and I look forward to continue contributing in any way possible to this forum.
A small note to those who didn't make it this year - never lose hope. Sometimes its only a small facet of your overall profile that needs a little chiseling - get it done, and you will be through! Who knows - I may even see a bunch of you next year at Tuck!!

Cheers,
MBAWanderlust

PS - Seeing the 'M' against Tuck on my profile, and smiling to myself.

Heartiest congratulations. Tuck is pretty amazing. Really happy for you

On person in the Sloan wait list forum was accepted off of the wait list. Has anyone else heard anything, acceptances, rejections?

I am able to login to their application url. But it gives me a blank page. It doesn't give me any link/button to enter my details. Did anyone faced this issue?

I was on the WL and and got an invitation to interview. I don't know the outcome yet but I did not send in any additional references or supplemental information. Good luck to all still waiting.

Did you already interview? When did they ask you to interview? Did they say anything about the wait list?

I interviewed early last week and was invited late during the week before. It was not a long wait time between the invite and interview. Basically I was told that they were working through the waiting list to fill more slots.

Poseidon, I see that you are listed as matriculating to Sloan. Did they ask you to interview, then you interviewed and then they offered you admission?

Yes, everything happened really quickly. I was a 2nd round applicant and got waitlisted in early March. I didn't submit any updates but received an email from Admissions at the end of May inviting me to interview the following week. I flew to Boston, interviewed, and got my decision this week.

Best of luck

I just got the call today from Jen Barba. Very excited and cannot wait to be joining everyone!!! Are their any future Sloanies in the Seattle-Tacoma area?

Awesome! Shoot me a PM if you have any questions about logistics. And I'm not sure if there are any Seattle Sloanies on here, but there are a few in the class (check the Google Group and our Facebook group for details).
