I got my interview invite email yesterday! (I applied through Sloan) I hope to see you guys there.
I have some travel that I don't think I can get out of over the weekend. Do you know if not attending the InterviewFest activities puts me at a disadvantage for admissions? I know that I would be missing out on an opportunity to experience LGO life and interact with current students.
Does anyone know the typical ratio of interviewees to admits at LGO?
First - Congratulations!
I do not know whether attendance at InterviewFest activities bares any weight on admission decisions, though I doubt it. However, I certainly agree with you that it would benefit us, as the applicants, to expose ourselves to the LGO culture as much as possible.
I attended the MIT Sloan on the Road for Veterans event in San Diego last year. The main speaker was part of the admissions committee for Sloan and spoke on both the MBA and LGO Programs. She said that the LGO Fellow selection process filtered approximately 100 applicants for interviews each year. I also read previous year message boards in this forum, which stated 120 interviewees. Based on these sources, and the knowledge that typical LGO class size is 50, the admittance rate of interviewees falls between 41-50%
Hope this helps. Best of luck!
