Calling all MIT LGO Applicants: (2017 Intake) Class of 2019!!

So diplomatic .

Guys... I think we may have hit a new record in comments in an LGO GMAT club thread

Hopeful2018 is pursuing the rare triple-degree: MBA/SM from MIT and MPA from the Harvard Kennedy School

I think we did (2011 was the next closest with 402 posts):

Did anyone get the famous "please update your contact info" from Adcom just now? My heart skipped a beat just reading the sender line!

I did, goes to everyone, right? My assumption is they aren't asking us to email them that the address is correct, they are just asking us to look at the address and verify.

That makes sense. I just assumed it was bad news on seeing the sender because I'm guessing they call the selected ones. Phew. One week (or less) to go!

Dear Novak Djokovic,,

We are putting the final touches on the MIT LGO Decision List.

Next Friday, March 3, all applicants will receive an email by 5:00 p.m. EST notifying them of their MIT Leaders for Global Operations admissions decision.

Please verify that your mailing address is correct by updating it on your application status page no later than Monday, February 27.*

If your plans have changed and you no longer want to be considered for the MIT LGO Class of 2018, please inform us as soon as possible by replying to this email.

Sincerely,

The MIT LGO Admissions Team

Yes I got the email as well. Although aren't we the Class of 2019?

Yup, ready for my rejection next Friday since I got no interview. I don't know why it takes so long to get the crappy email.

If you haven't had an interview, they don't send out rejection emails. You just don't hear from them. That was killer last year for me.

I'm sorry.

We are.

Typo.

Ha even worse, thanks for the heads up!

I know it sounds bitter, but I find those practices quite disrespectful.

Sorry, I told you incorrectly.

I did get an email last year. I got it the 1st of March. It said this:

Dear Hopeful2018,

Your decision to the Leaders for Global Operations program at MIT is currently available online. Please log into your application account at [link] and click on the decision notification.
Sincerely,

The MIT LGO Admissions Team

It had my login info in the link, so I removed that, but it was in the application portal last year.

To make it even worse I got a rejection from Sloan March 18th, and another rejection from Sloan in April.

The last rejection from Sloan was tough, like rubbing salt on the wound twice. I don't know why I got 2 rejection letters.

Sorry for the misinformation.

Why do you want me to choose Stanford? Im looking for all the advise I can get!

Oh come on. WHy do you think I am toolish huh?

Posting things like Stanford >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sloan isn't exactly a shining example of maturity and self awareness. Neither is saying "Stanford MBA is WAAAAAY better than Sloan" after you didn't get an invite the first day. There are people on this forum who worked just as hard as you, if not harder, for a chance at an interview and wasn't able to land one. And you are ranting publicly because you didn't get an interview on the first day? If the implications of these statements are not obvious to you, I sincerely hope you develop some self awareness.
