Matriculating 2013 MIT Sloan Leaders for Global Operations (LGO) Program Hi, my name is David and I'm a first year student in the MIT Leaders for Global Operations program. LGO is a two-year, dual-degree MBA/MS Engineering program born from the collaboration of the Sloan School of Management and the MIT 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. Couple of notes about LGO: The majority of the tuition (at Sloan's rates) is subsidized The program starts in the beginning of MIT's summer session to allow the Sloan/engineering courses to fit in the two years allotted Acceptance is limited to about 48 per year Generally considered more a part of Sloan than the engineering department The application process is almost identical to the general Sloan process. The LGO program is a selectable option from the Sloan application site or through the MIT engineering graduate school site. If you apply through the Sloan side, there is an additional essay requirement.

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/brochure 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!

Hi,

I am Vivek and very much interested in LGO.
Though I will be applying this year, just wanted to know what kind of fit ppl. like me make in this programme.
I am a Computer Science Grad and working at Ernst & Young -Operational Consulting in India.
Experience will sum up to 3+ yrs while applying.

Congrats to all who have received the invites! If I still haven't got one, does it mean that my chances of getting it are quite small? Is there anyone else who hasn't gotten an invite yet?

From searching through previous LGO threads here, it looks like the bulk of the invites were handed out for Interviewfest in early February, but they are still going to hand some out here and there from now until March. May not sound encouraging but hey, until you see a ding anything is possible!

Very true EngineeringMBA. The past experience shows they'll still send out a few invites after the interviewfest till Feb-end

The thread seems to be awfully quiet this year compared to past years. How are you all holding up? For those who are still waiting for an invite, hope you get one! And for those interviewed, best of luck!!

As an applicant who didn't get an interview, and for it to be this late in the game, I've pretty much thrown in the towel on this program and Sloan as well for this year, but I knew going into it that it would be a long shot. I feel for me, getting into Sloan is less likely than LGO given my app was tailored toward the LGO program and its offerings.

According to the application process page of the MIT LGO website:

"Interviews and Admissions Decisions
Interviews of applicants for the Class of 2015 will be conducted by invitation only. Interview invitations will be extended beginning in January and extend through March 2013. LGO will send admissions decisions by March 8, 2013."

So perhaps you're not out of luck if you haven't been invited to interview yet.

Also, I'd thought that the admissions decisions date was originally March 11. Was this changed?

Hi all ...
The discrepancy in the decision date is interesting.

The LGO page says that they release the date on March 8th.
lgo.mit.edu/apply/application-process

However, the Sloan page says they will release the decisions on March 11th.
mitsloan.mit.edu/mba/admissions/apply-here/schedule

Either way, we've been waiting for months - couple of extra days won't kill us. (despite being extremely painful)

I’m hoping that March 8th is an update and that the Sloan website is one update behind. We shall see…

Either way, I’ll post the first letter of my last name if I get a call.

I just attended an admissions chat and Leah (LGO Admissions) said the decision date is 11th, so I better believe her to be right... but those who get in can expect a call between 8th-11th. Others...

I wonder when will the calls start going out ... I am getting glued to my phone and slightly panicking every time it goes off.

A little bit of history:

In 2010, calls were made over the weekend (PriceNation):
jzd - call - Friday - last name starts with C
ndsheth8 - call - Saturday - last name starts with ?
LGOorbust - call - Sunday - last name starts with ?
aam2005 - call - Sunday - last name starts with M
LGOgirl - call - Monday - last name starts with Z

2011, everyone was called on one day (zeelurker):

2012 calls:
PriceNation, last name Pr – 9:15pm EST Wed, March 7
Lgohopeful, last name G – 9:30pm EST on Wed, March 7
Brau0300, last name B – around 9:20pm EST Wed, March 7
Jalapeno04654, last name B – 8:58pm EST Thurs, March 8
Ntan, last name T – 9:50pm EST Thurs, March 8
H2polo, last name C – 9:30pm EST Thurs, March 8

Also, rajadi told us that the decision date is the 11th, but “those who get in can expect a call between 8th-11th”
