Hi All,

I had applied but haven't received any Interview Call. However, I have received the e-mail sent by MIT, 2 weeks ago

"You will hear from SDM Master's Admissions regarding your admission status within six weeks"

Hi all of you,

It's good to see a thread of people applying to SDM. I was trying to find one for a long time.

I applied in R1 but haven't received any confirmation.

What is the acceptance rate for SDM, any idea?

It will be good to know the profiles of my fellow applicants. I will share my in the next post.

Compared to MIT Sloan (6-7%), it's seems good.

I visited the SDM office yesterday since I was already on campus for LGO interview and the adcom says they are still processing all the R1's. Apparently ALOT of people applied this year.

Hi Everyone,

I have received an Interview call from SDM. I would like to know if anyone has any idea what questions to anticipate? Any thoughts on how the interview might proceed?

Has anyone else been invited for an interview?

Hello Amanda Ruth,

When did you get the invite for interview? Can you share some details? I.e.: date you submitted your application; date you received the invite for interview; date range to schedule the interview, etc.

Thank you!

Folks,
Any updates on SDM? How did you send your transcripts? It seems they don't have a placeholder in application to upload your transcripts, and they ask your college to mail(postal) it to them, is that right?

Yes Abhijit, you need to mail them.

We can for the time being email the scan copies to them.

Then, either email the scanned copy from official college office or mail the physical copy to them.

Thanks SharinganKakashi for the information. When did you submit your application? I am an international student but i could not submit it before round 1 deadline. I hope they still consider my application.
