’Waitlisted without an interview’ - What are we supposed to do other than wait? Can we get feedback on what’s weak and what information they want from us?

Okay mind sharing the response from the adcoms? Maybe we can ask how much does this waitlist without interview even move?

When applying, did anybody check the box indicating interest in being considered for LGO? I'm curious if the adcom has followed up with anybody they think is a good fit for LGO. I checked the box but just submitted a regular program app. Hopefully they switch me over :)

Did you get an interview for the mba? The admission for the programs is different. Check the deadlines for the lgo and response timeline. I would contact the lgo admission team. Although they are joint, they have independent admin process.

Does anyone know Sloan's post-interview acceptance rate? I've read some articles estimating it's as low as 33%, and others saying it's as high as 60%.

Focus on answering the question at hand and don´t repeat parts of your normal essay or CV, 250 words is really short.

Not sure, but I feel like indexing on that too much isn´t helpful either way, just make sure to present the most compelling version of yourself in the interview and the two additional essays.

Folks,

The ones who got the gmat waiver--and the ones thinking to apply for a waiver-- I strongly suggest to take the exam. Even though the AdCom says that it will not affect your entrance to the program, how many students have you met --or have you talked with--that got accepted without the test? I really don´t know know why Sloan is doing such move if they really want you to take the test and bump the class stats.

This is from their website: Due to the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic, the MBA Program will allow for candidates for the 2021-22 admission cycle to submit a request for a test waiver, should their current situation prevent them from safely being able to access an exam.
The point of the test waiver is clearly to avoid people having to take undue risks in taking the GMAT/GRE exam where Covid is still a problem. Its not to make the application process easier for you.

I haven't taken the waiver, but my understanding is that you will still have to demonstrate intellectual aptitude/readiness for the program in other ways. Maybe through highly analytical work experience, or internationally recognized qualifications. But the GMAT/GRE was traditionally the best/easiest way to demonstrate intellectual aptitude. Rather than committing to years of working, one would commit to months of practicing. Without the GMAT, a non-traditional applicant (i.e. someone not in business or finance) would struggle to demonstrate intellectual ability and would thus be denied the waiver, and subsequently admission.

Adcom granting someone a waiver doesn't mean they ignore the purpose of the test as part of the application, but rather that they've found evidence of your intellectual ability in other parts of your application.

Now, does that mean they are not using test waivers as a means of increasing their applicant pool numbers, which increases selectivity, and lowers the acceptance rate? Of course not. But that doesn't change any of the above, you still have to show more evidence of analytical ability through WE/Recs/UG than an applicant with a reasonable test score and that isn't easy.

I am also struggling with the Pre-interview questions response, specifically the data-visualization one. (A) We have time until 24 hrs before the interview schedule date, right? (B) Anyone has any sample from last year? I think last year was the same question.
