Ding city.

I'm surprised I havent seen anyone get an interview invite on here yet. This place always seems to be composed of very strong candidates that get accepted at the schools for which they are parts of the thread

Yup, there is a Decision Status update, right at the bottom.

So application status remains submitted: complete and being evaluated, then below that there is a recommendation providers with, finally, the decision status at the bottom.

To all those who haven't been dinged, best of luck to you!

Dinged as well.

These numbers are so bizarre. They are accepting fewer people now? If they admit 350 out of 4500(assuming number is unchanged from last year, that's a freaking 8% admit rate. That's more selective than Harvard. Also why did the numbers of admits go down by 60? Are the rest LGO or other programs?

Anyway, even if their class size is 400 overall and their yield is 70%, they should make offers to 11% of applicants and probably interview about 20%. They interviewed just about 32%(!!) of Round 1 here, which leaves only 8-11% max for Round 2 JUST FOR INTERVIEWS(assuming the sample at GMATclub is representative of the larger applicant pool and equal round sizes).

Why did I spend $200 on a round 2 app here if they didn't have many spots left to offer? Something is off somewhere here, and I'll be interested to see what their official admit rate is, though they won't break it down by round.

Yeah, I'm thinking that MIT has decided to move towards treating their R2 like other schools treat R3... guess I'll just pass the advice to apply R1 to MIT on to my coworkers applying next year...

The other 50 were partly admits from last year who deferred I believe. There was a story out about their yield was unexpectedly high last year and they offered $$ for people to defer.

I'm with you. This is shocking. I'm looking at the number of tremendous candidates here reporting dings and it's unbelievable. Interview dings. And not even waitlist! What ever happened to the waitlist? How small exactly is their R2 harvest? This is borderline absurd.
