Hey mkil23 , Sloan has added the Student Funding details in the LGO applications. Can you confirm that you are able to see the instrcutions clearly? I checked and found it there. No ambiguity remains now

Anyone knows if a recommender can change his letter after it's submitted?

Per my reply in the HBS thread, they can CHANGE their letter up until the deadline by reuploading a new version -- at least this is the case for most schools. But they cannot change it after the program's deadline. Everything is locked at that point. Hope that helps!

Once submitted, the recommender cannot change the her/his letter. You will have to exclude it. Again, once submitted, you will not be able to exclude the recommender. This option is only available till the recommendation is not submitted. That said, you can always write to the Adcoms and get the recommendation excluded. You can then resend the link to your recommender. However, since the letter was submitted, a copy will remain with the Adcoms and they can always access it. That's to the best of my knowledge. Hope that helps

Hey folks, With just over 10 days remaining in R1 deadline how is the application shaping up? I see only two people have reported submitting the application. For those like me still working on the application, it's time to step on the gas! Go go go ..... A shout to loud and best wishes to all fellow applicants! Happy applications to you!

Why does MIT want to know if you are getting sponsorship from a company? Does this help or hurt your changes of admission and funding? What if you are applying but don't know if you received it as of the application time?

I don't think so this information will sway the decision in your favour or prejudice the admissions committee against you. It's just another info (similar to other sections such as family info) that MIT will look at while evaluating your candidature. Through this particular info, MIT would get an idea of how you are going to fund your MBA. IMO, this info will NOT make or break the decision. However, this will go down as an input while deciding scholarships. If you have not received any funding assurance from your employer yet, you can mention 0 in the application form. When you receive the confirmation, you can update it in the application (before submitting) or write (post submission) to the admissions committee that you will be receiving funding from your employer. The committee will update your file accordingly.
