chaine21: Did you hear it from the Admissions Rep ?

And low as compared to which schools?

I heard Sandy Kreisberg, aka HBS Guru, saying that MIT has a preference for ultra-high GMAT scores. Is this true, considering the fact that it is the only school to screen apps through an objective competency matrix ?

That rate is low for all the schools. Indian males form one of the largest applicant pool. Since the schools need to maintain the diversity thingy, the large applicant pool gives them the liberty to get selective and choose ultra-best. The same applies to MIT.
The theory that MIT loves high GMAT scorers isn't well substantiated apart from Sandy's claim, heo does kind of stereotype almost all the schools. Not saying that he is wrong, but stereotyping doesn't kinda work all the time.

P.S. - I would recommend that you don't form any skewed opinion unless you have some serious data to back it. Rumors abound MBA market. :wink:

If you take a look at the class profile, you'll see that the middle 80% of GMAT scores is 660 - 760. I'm not saying it's 100% impossible to get into Sloan with a 550, but taking the time to retake the GMAT and get a higher score will give you a much better chance.

FROM Sloan Admissions Blog: MIT Sloan Admissions To Host Virtual Office Hours
I’m excited to announce the MIT Sloan Admissions Office will be offering Virtual Office Hours, held every Monday and Wednesday starting February 2nd. Admissions officers will be live to answer your questions during these interactive sessions. It is a great opportunity to learn more about our MIT Sloan programs and the application process.

As part of this new online offering, we are upgrading our chat system to a more visual, user-friendly design. You can expect some changes when signing up for an event. In our new system, you must first register online. You will then receive an email confirming your registration, with a link to log into the chat. Registration remains open until the event has concluded, though we encourage you to sign up early.

We are excited about the new technology and the new format. We look forward to answering your questions!

FROM Sloan Admissions Blog: Master of Finance Applicants: What Now?
Thank you for submitting your application to the MIT Sloan MFin Program.

The Admissions Team will begin sending MFin interview invitations on Friday, January 23rd. If you are not invited for an interview, you will receive a final decision from us by February 16th. We appreciate your patience as you wait for your decisions!

MFin interviews will be conducted in person by members of the MIT Sloan Admissions team. In addition to interviewing on campus in Cambridge, we will conduct interviews in Beijing, London, Mumbai, Shanghai, and Singapore. Interviewees will receive an invitation one week prior to your interview date. You will have the choice to meet us in the closest location to where you are currently living, or join us on campus in Cambridge. If you are invited to interview, you will receive an additional Interview Preparation Guide.

Our interviews have three components:

The interviewer may ask you follow-up questions from your application. For example, you might be asked to elaborate on your academic and/or professional experiences, or provide more detail on a specific example.

The interviewer will ask you behavioral questions. For example: “Describe a situation where you had a conflict with another individual, and how did you deal with it?”

Finally, you will have the opportunity to ask the interviewer questions.

We look forward to learning more about you!

from the email from admissions, interview invites won't go out until Feb - "Our interviews are by invitation only. Our goal is to interview all candidates accepted into the program. An invitation to interview indicates that your application has reached an advanced stage of consideration, but it does not guarantee admission. Candidates will be notified of interviews by email between February and March."

If it helps:

In round 1 they sent out a few invites extremely early. Then most of the US ones came out at 3 pm the week about three weeks after the deadline. I'd keep an eye out Wednesday the 4th, early to late afternoon.

The interview was a good time, best of luck to everyone!
