Totally, intense competition with huge increase of numbers of applicants across the board of all schools. Not only MIT

So sorry for the surprising disappointment. Yes, again another year of big increases in app volume. I hope applying in R1 will help you adjust course for R2 and get more exposure this cycle

For the other interviewees: there doesn’t seem to be any mention of the analytical writing assessment, just the additional essays. Do they waive that and not mention it for English-native applicants?

" If the Admissions Committee requires you to take the GMAT Business Writing Assessment, we will contact you after interview invitations are sent."

Looks like they will be sent our separately. Hope its waived. Just too many requirements.

I got the sense from some in-person events that adcoms didn’t even really care for it. But its super easy if you do have to - I think I prepped like 2-3 hours max from here how-to-get-6-0-awa-my-guide-64327.html

In case anyone of you got rejections, MBA Conquerors will be hosting free virtual walk-ins for ding analysis through out November, if it really feels like you’re getting rejected from all schools, feel free to drop an email- info@mbaconquerors.com .

Congrats to those that did make it in, MIT is extremely competitive to be in especially when there is so little space to express yourself unlike some other schools

Stanford and Kellogg are both pretty huge applications! Lots of opportunities there. I like that MIT added the background essay but it’s still fairly lean. Zero application boxes - everything has to get crammed into the resume.

Just finished the interview.
Very conversational! No tell me about yourself/wmtyr questions. Spent around 10 mins on both of my essays that I submitted.
10 mins regarding my role and TMAT questions (only 2).
5 mins on Why MBA, WHy Now, Why Sloan.

Interesting, I had a different experience interviewing a few days back. It was 100% behavioural questions, conversational, but still structured and to the point.
