Where did you come up with that? Sloan will still be substantially above Stanford's historic rate, and more than likely still above HBS and Haas.

mmm did they stop the dings? when are we supposed to loose hope in this

Hello!

I also was dinged on 25th... ouch!!
I'm a R2 Applicant from Latin America

I'm copying my rejection letter to all those who are asking about this year's admission rate:


"The Admissions Committee of the MIT Sloan MBA Program has considered your application and has regretfully concluded that we cannot offer you a place in the incoming class.

As you no doubt realize, the MIT Sloan School is comparatively small, with approximately 350 MBA students entering each year. While our size offers advantages to both our students and faculty, it also creates an extremely difficult selection process––this year, over 4,600 candidates will compete for the 350 places in the class. I think it is no exaggeration to say that the majority of our applicants would be good students for our program. Since we have so few spaces to offer, the problem is not only choosing academically and professionally qualified applicants, but also choosing the very strongest candidates from a field of extraordinarily talented individuals.

We realize this news comes as a disappointment. I do hope, however, that you will accept our best wishes for your success.

Sincerely,


Rod Garcia
Senior Director of MBA Admissions
P.S. Unfortunately we cannot conduct post-evaluative interviews with candidates we could not admit. As you can imagine, with over 4,600 applicants that procedure would consume almost the full-time attention of two employees. We are simply not staffed to be able to provide that service."

Funny (and also cruel) that Sloan's rejects me and keeps bombing me with e-mails selling the huge benefits of the program... ha ha

For all of you guys that were invited to interview... my best wishes and the best of luck!!! In words of Rod Garcia, you are among the "very strongest candidates from a field of extraordinarily talented individuals"

Any fresh activity on the interview invite front?

On top of that King, They did defer several students from last year to this year... So the pool is actually slightly smaller.

Invited.

Could you, please, share your recent interview experience?
Any tricks from the adcom to trigger behavioral responses?

Great advice! I'd suggest having stories prepared for the following topics: failure, success, teamwork, leadership, a difficult coworker, and innovation. Also, be prepared to provide answers in the STAR/SOAR/SAR format (Situation, Task/Obstacle, Action, Result). Really, though, just know your story inside and out. My Sloan interview was the one I had prepared for the most, but we barely touched on any of the questions I had run through beforehand.

Good luck!

@nevillec

Yup, applicant from Mumbai here. Got the email last night. I scheduled mine for the 22nd.

Same here. Did you write them ?
