Calling all MIT LGO Applicants: (2018 Intake) Class of 2020!!

Hi.
I also applied to LGO program this year.
Till no replies or invites.

Fingers crossed

Yes, let's hang in there! Answers will come at some point

Any idea why LGO shifted application deadlines from December to Septermber and aligned with Sloan MBA deadlines ??

I did not know of the existence of the LGO program before this year so I'm not sure how it was before.
But thinking about it, some of the candidates can get accepted to the MBA only. It makes sense to align them.

Got invited. Email timestamp 3:21 PM EST

Hello.

I am currently a undergraduate graduating Spring 2018 with a bachelors in biomedical engineering. I do not have any work experience within the industry; however, I have 3.5 years of undergraduate research. My question is regards to having work experience.

Does everyone within the program typically have work experience within the industry???

I am interested in partaking in this program because I plan to become a leader within industrial biomedical research and possibly leading or starting my own company someday. I was reading the website and they mention that it is recommended that you have 2 years of work experience within the industry. Can you comment on whether everyone within the program usually has this? Is there some cases in which some don't. I am just wanted to better assess my chances before applying and whether I should wait a few years after I am in a company.


Thanks!

Hi.
Anybody knows by when Round 1 interview invites will continue to be send.
Did any international applicant get any invite yet.

Thanks in advance
Anup

Well, for Sloan application the last day is officially Thursday November 2nd ( this Thursday) when the final invites will be sent and also other candidates released or waitlisted.
However:

1) I do not know if this applies to candidates who benefited from the October 15 extension due to Harvey etc.
2) I'm not sure this applies to LGO as the message in the application platform only mentions " end October beginning November, which is a bit vague"

Hang in there!! As soon as I get some news I will share it here. Please feel free to share as well!!

You need experience. You don't have anything to contribute to the program if you don't. You also cannot make the most of the program without professional experience.
