Formally declined my offer of admission today. Good luck to everyone!

Congrats on deciding to go to MIT. All the best of luck!

Kingfalcon, all the best at Sloan ! I'm sure you'll have a blast. Just out of curiosity, since you were admitted at several schools, did you apply for financial aid to any/all of them ? I guess that when people are accepted to several schools, the money can be a decision criteria. Subsequently, I guess some people that got offered money still decided not to matriculate, hence releasing money for other students ? I'm asking the question because in this forum many people have applied but none got any scholarship. Geeum

Thank you! Honestly, my goal was to have money be a tie-breaker, not a primary factor in my decision. When I thought about what I wanted to get out of the experience, Sloan came out ahead for me. It just so happened that they were the only school to offer me money, too.

Awesome ! It's nice when everything goes like this. Again, have a great 2 years @ Sloan, maybe we'll meet at some b-school event/competition. Geeum

Thanks everyone! I got a grant need-based last Friday that will help me coming to Haas. No merit-based scholarships

bump - any activity for anyone from any round on the WL?

nothing here- at the end of February they sent out an email encouraging waitlisted candidates to participate in their Facebook contest of What's your defining principles? , but no news came to me after that I believe they will send out some decisions towards the end of March Good luck!!
