My name is Bob and I'm a first year student in the MIT Leaders for Global Operations program. If you're new to the program, LGO is a two-year, dual-degree MBA/MS Engineering program founded at MIT between the Sloan School of Management and the School of Engineering. LGO is focused on educating technically-polished future business leaders to solve tomorrow's operations challenges. I am starting this thread with a few classmates to help answer some questions, to familiarize you with the program, and to let you know what being a student at MIT/Sloan is really like. A little bit of my background: Graduated in 2006 from Carnegie Mellon University with a dual-degree BS Mechanical Engineering & Biomedical Engineering Entered into General Electric's OMLP rotational development program after college and worked for 2 more years in supply chain positions at GE Worked for 1.5 years in Nuclear Power Plants engineering at Westinghouse Electric Company And now for some good resources on LGO... The best initial sources for information are the program website: https://lgo.mit.edu https://lgo.mit.edu/docs/lgo_brochure_2010.pdf Additionally, I would check out the main program blog, student blogs and alumni blogs: https://lgo-blog.mit.edu/ To formally introduce yourself to LGO and receive event invites and other information: https://inq.applyyourself.com/?id=mit-lgo&pid=1397 Follow us on Twitter and facebook: https://twitter.com/#!/MITlgo https://www.facebook.com/pages/MIT-Lead ... 9001770621 Let us know what questions you have or just use this as a no-stress place to chat with other applicants!

I did the interview with adcom director. Have you received any response to your thank-you note?

My interviewer (Sloan adcom) mentioned that the Sloan and engineering departments were meeting in 10 days (3 days from now) to discuss candidates while she was explaining the process to me. Did anyone else hear anything similar? Not that it changes anything, I'm now in wait-and-see-and-try-to-move-on-with-my-life mode, but I figure I'd add some fuel to the fire.

My Interview Fest Experience: The interview itself was conversation style. Very relaxed. I was first asked why I was interested in shifting my career towards operations/manufacturing. Then I was asked two behavioral questions which I had come across the many online resources. First one was "...attempted to persuade someone/group and failed?" and "...had a difficult conversation?". I also got the automatic questions of "which partner companies and why" "Any changes since application submitted" and "anything else I would like to add that I did not cover previously". overall I think I answered the questions well, but I dont think I blew it out of the park, and thus I think I am just in the middle of the pack. One candidate mentioned that he learned from speaking with the students that 120 candidates and that 56 would be accepted. I have no idea how accurate that is, but I think it confirms what we expected, basically a 50/50 shot. I also found that all of the current students were very friendly and down to earth. They were also a very close group. I wish everybody the best of luck and I cannot wait for decisions to come out.

I had a dream last night that I had gotten into LGO. Then I woke up, and thought it was all a dream, but then realized that it was actually true. Then I woke up that *that* dream to reality this morning. My subconscious is playing some really mean tricks on me.

Oh, and now that I have enough posts to post links, here are the collection of blog posts about LGO interviews I had found when prepping for Interview Fest. Hopefully it helps someone out there in the future: https://lgoadventures.blogspot.com/2012/ ... tions.html https://leoespindle.com/blog/?p=126 https://johanna-lgo.blogspot.com/2009/01 ... -time.html https://elgarvouj.blogspot.com/2011/01/p ... rview.html https://kaco1.tumblr.com/post/2895781338 ... rview-tips https://elgiocho.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html https://beccaford2010.blogspot.com/2009/ ... rview.html

Waiting to hear from LGO for further interview invites... hope they come, hopefully they send it after they've evaluated the interview-fest prospects All the best to all those interviewed at interview fest... You all must be great people like current LGO students, would be good to be friends with such a community (if i make it through)

Anyone else freaking out that the HBS deposit is due this week and we still haven't heard anything from LGO? The LGO program is by far and away my first choice, but I don't understand why they made the timing so that you are obligated to pay $1K to Harvard regardless. Its a catch 22-- if I don't put the deposit in at HBS I'm sure I'd then get rejected from LGO!

So are we going to hear this weekend, the weekend after? 6-13 more days....

March 12th is the posted date. So this weekend should be the weekend we find out if we get in or not. 2010 they announced on Friday, in 2011 they announced around 3pm on Sunday. I think they did it in alphabetical order by last name.
