erhomoe, Hi erhomoe, I did attend the event. Do you know how can we claim an app fee waiver through that? Will we get an email later on with the details?

Any reapplicants in here? Curious what the sentiment is on reusing the 1 minute video statement from last years app? To be honest, I thought my video was pretty solid last year. Obviously, will make a new one if reusing last year’s would be looked at negatively though.

Hey everyone. I will be applying for MIT Sloan also. I graduated from NYU in engineering and have a masters in Japan with 2.5 years of work experience in R&D.

I got a standardized test waiver as well. Researching it online, it looks like many people who applied to MIT got it. I wonder how that will impact the application review process. Perhaps they will adopt “only review tests if it puts you in good favor approach.” Or they might they judge the application or interview with more scrutiny. I am not sure.

At least, I think the average GPA might rise because taking the Gmat or Gre can be a repellent for some excellent professionals working a full time busy job.

Hi,

Please could you provide guidelines on the argument you presented to MIT adcom for your GMAT waiver? A high-level response would suffice. Thank you.

Hey it is no problem. I have a masters in mechanical engineering and my GPA for both my undergraduate and graduate was over 3.7. I also have years of work experience in research.

I live in Japan and the pandemic has made it difficult for me to take the test in person. Vaccinations still haven’t been wide spread to the community yet and all test centers are in the city center.

I think based on my background and the situation with the pandemic, they were able to provide me a waiver.

Is it better to apply during Round 1?

You should apply when you feel that you are ready. The timing of rounds only guarantees that you will get notification by a certain date.

This is so you have time to arrange your affairs. For example if your company has bonus timing after the first notification date and you not sure if you should save your bonus for going to grad school or using it buy something you really wanted. You should know what you should do with your bonus if you applied in round 1. If you applied in round 2, they can’t guarantee to give you notification before your bonus.
