I was thinking on my way home that by the time I checked this thread again I would already see some good news.. its odd that they havent called anyone yet. Anyways. I applied through the school of engineering and my status hasnt changed. Someone mentioned how the engineering school dinged him already and my thoughts are that if the school of engineering dinged you, you are not an LGO. Both Sloan and your Engineering department must accept you before you are considered for LGO candidacy. One of the guys I spoke to during ambassador's day mentioned that. He was the internship coordinator for LGO I think. Sorry to hear that. I know that I will get a ding letter in the mail since I didnt interview.

Good luck guys, I wish I could be part of the 2013 class but things just didnt work out. Cheer up when you get those ding letters. You never know whats in store for you in the future. Perhaps Harvard, Stanford or Wharton are waiting for you in R3 or next year (if the MBA is what you wanted). Things happen for a reason. Or you will just get accepted in the Sloan roll over.

And to those who get admitted, congratulations. I think it will be a great experience, at least from what I have heard and saw during the LGO event in October. I wish you the best. An engineering degree and an MBA from MIT will open a looooot of doors for you. I think its a great combination and people wont stereotype you as either a technical guy or a finance guy. You are smacked in the middle, and thats the value I see in LGO.

Has anyone on here actually heard positively by phone yet? :?: I've only seen waitlist and engineering rejection...I was really hoping they'd call by now, but I'm not giving up hope on the call until Monday or so and on my admission until I actually see a No in the mail next week. In the meantime, I just need to work at keeping calm...

I wish I knew :?

I'm in the same boat Thrive. Still no word. I wonder if all the people that got admission calls are just too busy celebrating to post......

Yeah, it's kinda weird isn't it? I applied to LGO via ChemE - I knew that ChemE was one of the departments that did not consider students rejected from LGO for the normal MS/PhD degree but I'm not sure why I would hear from ChemE first and not LGO. All of this has been really weird, especially the lack of calls for anyone on this forum (There must be quite alot of gmatclub applicants, especially all of the folks who started joining to post updates....)

Still no calls?

I can't believe it's been this long and no one on this forum has heard. It's got to start soon...

Calm ourselves, it's still early in the day, and it's a Sunday. They're going to try to actually get the respondents on the phone, not launch a surprise attack while we're still sleeping. Why not take them at their word re: the 7th and expect the calls Monday? (I would be happy to be wrong and get a message on my google voice today...)

Based on what I saw on the LGO 2010 blog, 5 candidates reported receiving calls between Fri and Sun out of the 50 to 55 odd offers they may had made. So only about 10% recipients were either members of this blog last year or cared to report the call. LGO has made 56 offers this year according to the March Alumni newsletter. Let's see how many report receiving a call today. Regardless, tomorrow is March 7th so all this anticipation and anxiety will come to an end. Wishing everyone the best!

Yes, tomorrow is THE big day...
If or when I get the call, I'll post immediately. Would appreciate if everyone here do the same.
Good luck everyone!!!

PS - do you think they will start with the internationals from the eastern hemisphere because of the time differences?
