I like that Stanford uses the expression this is not about evaluation but selection. It's really true, they're looking for a cast of characters it's not a judgment on whether you are good enough. And so it's likely that the dynamics of the class ie people who have a profile similar to yours are more plentiful this time around. I imagine that there were plenty of people applying to MIT who might have been laid off. The dynamics are quite fierce this year. So think about this with relationship to the competition more than am I good enough for this school there's just a limited number of seats. And they have a lot to pick from it's the second most selective b-school in the universe.

I was waitlisted after interview till July this year. Did not even get an interview invite, got the rejection instead. Cant understand what went wrong.

MBAPrepCoach This is truly remarkable and insightful. You’ve captured the core of what the admissions committee seeks. Could you provide feedback on the interview process and offer advice on how to excel in a way that leaves a lasting impression on the committee?
Hi - what I put in the post on 10/29 is what she said she was seeking in an interview (Donna Levenson) so that is a pretty good way to approach the interview. They are backward looking so make sure to have stories to share to back up your claims for alignment with each thing she mentioned. I ran across this quote she said a couple years ago

"At the end of the day, it’s all about impact. What impact has an applicant made on a group, an organization, or the company they work for? This is really what we’re trying to assess. The more significant the impact, the better. For us, leadership is embodied by a candidate’s ability to influence and convince others in a constructive, meaningful, and respectful way. While the term ‘vision’ isn’t something that we use very much, we are a mission-driven school. Our mission is concerned with tackling the world’s biggest problems. So, to the extent that a candidate shares in our mission, this shows vision because it’s about looking forward and improving the state of the world."

Many overlook considering how their history/stories align with their mission - make sure to do that

For the experts on the forum: Does it moves the needle to visit the school while in the waitlist?
Travelling all the way from Brazil to Boston to show commitment

Shows engagement with community for sure. But it’s about what you make of that engagement as opposed to just taking a walk

Interviewed last week! Ended up being 100% conversational which wasn't what I expected. No Why Sloan or Why MBA question either. We just walked through my resume and went into detail in some points. Don't know if that's a good or a bad thing but now all I can do is hope for the best :)

Any idea when we should be expecting the LGO interview invites to be out? (since this year they’ve combined both the rounds into one)

When filling the application. There’s a section where you’d be able to request an application fee waiver. There are several eligibility criteria that qualifies you to receive a fee waiver, one of which financial constraints.

Just did my SFMBA interview. The interviewer was late, didn’t ask me about the data visualization, and then ended it early... hope I get in tho. This is my dream program.
