Didn’t get a call - got waitlisted 🫠

Posted from my mobile device

No changes on portal for me... I guess SFMBA has to wait

Join us LIVE on YouTube with Guido, a Fintech professional from Argentina who got into four prestigious MBA programs: Harvard, Stanford GSB, MIT Sloan, and Yale SOM. In this interview, Maria Wich-Vila (HBS Alum and Founder of Applicant Lab) will try to understand his motivations for MBA, what makes his story unique, what contributed to his success, and how he approached essays, resume, recommendations, interviews etc.

Hi everyone! Reaching to check if anyone got interviewed or admitted with a test waiver? my GRE Quant score is in the 80% range but my verbal score is lower. Contemplating between submitting score or asking for waiver

Do you recommend to apply using a GMAT waiver, or submit GMAT -680?

Thank you

MIT is pretty serious about stats and you really can only have 1 or maybe 2 of the 3 key stats - GMAT/GPA/YOE - be significantly below average and for you all 3 are. Unless your stories are very compelling, you will have to get your GMAT up.


How was your past academic performance? If it was very outstanding, yes you might want to get a waiver but from my understanding, you must have a very good reason for such a request which absolutely must not be I didn’t do that well on the test.

Hi, I waivered my test score and getting R1 interview with 8 years working experience + entrepreneurship

Hi! Can anyone tell me whether MIT accepts the common GMAC letter of recommendation for their MBA ?

It’s not that outstanding so yeah probably should just submit the score I had, thanks though


hi there! thanks for sharing, did your decision come out yet?

also did anyone managed to request application fee waiver?

Hey everybody, I just submitted my Round 2 application to MIT Sloan for full time MBA program

Background: 9+ years working, ex NY banker turned startup tech person wanting to pursue change transformation leadership. Tech is really just NOT my field as I'm not technically savvy AT ALL. Very much a soft skills, emotions, feelings, kind of person which gets run over in finance in the early years, but starts to matter more and more at the top.
GPA 3.28 from Ivy league school
Not the best GRE (161 V/165 Q /5.0 W) but I tried my best in a short turn around time (1 Month studying)

Hoping MIT will appreciate that I'm a little bit of a quirky candidate! Best of luck to all else who apply and hope to connect if we cross paths.

I sent my app fee waiver form just 2 hours ago, waiting for the result


No

where is the app fee waiver form? I couldn’t locate... I thought we could just select and upload the document as we submit the application

In the application, there is a link embedded in "here" in a sentence mentioning about the fee in top sections. I forgot exactly where it is, but the word "here" is in red and underlined

found it, thank you!

What’s the word limit for LOR? I could not find that info. Need to inform my recommender reagrding the same.

Are yoy guys filling this form for fee waiver? https://apply.mit.edu/register/?id=8ec5 ... deec3b1a8e

This is only applicable to us citizens right?
