Hi prospective MSxers, I am a new admit in MSx 2020 and I thought I will start a thread for you to share some admission statistics from our year: - Graduating class of 2020 year was the MOST COMPETITIVE year in MSx history. Previous years they received something like 400-450 applications, this year received 500 applications. - R1 admitted 34 people, R2 admitted 56 people, and R3 admitted 13 people. - Depending on the yield-rate, MSx class of 2020 might be 90 to 95 students strong. The previous record for class size was 103. - Director Mike Hochleutner said that he doesn't see MIT SFMBA as a competitor program. Out of 6-10 dual-admit students each year, usually 1 chooses SFMBA while rest choose MSx. For MSx 2021 prospective students it is clear that applying in R1 is the best strategy. I hope to see some of you during class visits.

Thanks! That means MSx results will be declared alongside full-time MBA decisions. Great! We will have a combined chat room for Stanford FT and MSx candidates on Dec 12. I will soon make its announcement in the thread.

Round 1 applicants will be notified of your result next week. The list of admitted candidates is almost ready. A small number of you will be put on a waitlist. Good luck!

Thanks for the update. Wondering if you could comment on the approx acceptance rate of MSx candidates.

R1 Stanford MSx Applicants: Chat room #2 is reserved on Dec 11 and 12 for you guys to stay in touch with fellow applicants during the decision phase. Look forward to seeing you all in the chat.

From the information we've gathered, it's around mid-teen. It's also worth highlighting that the number of applications has steadily gone up in recent years.

Hadamard Thank you for such an illuminating thread. It seems people do not like MIT SFMBA at All! I have a rather unique profile (meaning - I have t seen anyone else from my dull industry share their experience here openly) and terrible gmat score. Yes am preparing for R2 msx. would you mind if I PM you? Not comfortable speaking in public. Posted from my mobile device

Has anyone been accepted in R1? I can set up a WhatsApp group for new admits and current students so you can get your questions answered about life on campus.
