Sloan 2013 (MIT) - Calling All Applicants

I'm in Boston now; very different from Madison - so expensive! Two hours NW of Madison... hmm... I'll guess in Lacrosse?

Still haven't heard anything back, like several folks here.

Right guess, you still follow the right hand map of Wisconsin well
Hang in there friend, it will come through.

Everytime I start to have doubts, I go over my Slaon's application. I did my best on that application and it is pretty much out of my hands now.

I learned to avoid going over my application again as a method to fight my anxiety during this wait game. I think that sometimes, you read blogs or comments from other people and start polluting your own opinions with this external information and end up trying to project these external thoughts onto your own application. Suddenly you start thinking that what you wrote at that point in time is not good because you are now armed with all these opinions from every blog out there and this just becomes a slippery slope that can culminate in suicidal behaviour or autoerotique asfixiation.

Either way, its not good for the soul. I know I did my best, but I refuse to double-click on that damned folder icon until I am preparing for a Sloan interview or if I need to recycle my essays for other applications.

Enjoy the weekend, hopefully next week will bring good news to all of us in the West US region or Latin America applicants.

I could not agree more. Until you get your interview invitation, rereading your application serves no purpose other than to stress you out. It's time to take a deep breath and let it go, for better or worse!

I read the whole comment... but my mind fixated on two words: "autoerotique asfixiation" ... what exactly is that?? Are you trying one of those bondage tricks which tie up the neck to asphyxiate, while increasing the erotic orgasm sensitivities?? All this just to relieve MIT anxiety?? Why!?!?!? Why on earth why?? I think in the last years thread someone was mas@@rbating off to Rod Garcia's video.... WHY??

Disclaimer: anxiety relief only. no offences to be taken.

To relieve my anxiety I have been watching top gear all episodes end to end....


Here is a good piece of anxiety relief:

Apologize if this is already clear to others, but I wanted to understand the interview style adcom/counselors conduct.

The Sloan interview preparation guide asks interviewees to be prepared to talk about past experiences influencing others, building professional relationships, and exhibiting drive. Given that the guide only mentions to focus on our prior experiences, are we not expected to answer questions like "why MIT?" or "why an MBA" during this interview? I guess I want to know if this interview is strictly related to my professional background and detailed stories of leadership, team work, mentorship, etc. or should I expect general questions on what I want to do at MIT and why I am drawn to the school?

Any insight will help. Thanks guys!

Any LatAM candidate get an invite yet?

Any West Coast people get in an invite yet? I'm near LA...

Hi all!
Did any Canadians receive an invite? My supplemental video was viewed on Youtube last week.
Hope it goes well

Anyone from WI hear anything? My video is still not been reviewed yet.

I am in the same boat. I am in La Crosse area and haven't heard anything. My videos stats are unchanged from October 24th.

Cool, let's keep each other updated!

will do, where are you located in WI?

Not yet. I believe there are few other people from Canada too who haven't received an invite.

Did anyone else not submit a video? I did not as I thought my video could hurt my application more than it could help me. I have not received an invite though, so am unsure whether or not the optional essay/video is one reason. Guess we will wait and see. Good luck everyone!

I didn't submit a video and haven't received an invite.
