Just looking at Stats. Only 3% computer science undergrad are admitted to Sloan.

Thats kinda scary when looking at huge applicant pool from India.

Called admission office yesterday. The guy toed the party line saying that interview invites will continue
to be sent out until Feb6th. I pressed him on an early ding date and he confirmed, that even this year, they
plan to send out dings to deserving folks before the deadline. However he refused to tell when this date
was.

I doubt he refused to tell you the date. He very probably genuinely doesn't know because they're unprofessional and unorganized.

Since interviews are done by admissions staff, I strongly believe that batches of interview invites /interviews are in a country basis. In my location, interviews are being held this week. The admissions member will travel next week overseas to interview more candidates. In my case I strongly believe it’s a ding, since admissions will not be here again before February (my relief is that MIT is not my first priority).

What the admissions person did say was that they do deliver early dings, but dongs are on the decision date.

Hope this helps those extremely anxious.

I don't think the Sloan adcom is any more disorganized or unprofessional than other schools. The majority of Stanford applicants hear nothing from the adcom between the time they submit and the final decision date. Stanford sends out invites at random times to a very small subset of applicants, leaving the rest to wait anxiously until they're rejected on the final day. And I know a lot of deferred Columbia ED candidates who have been waiting since October for a decision from that adcom. Each school has their own process, some more stressful for applicants than others. That's just the way it is.

I'd tend to agree with you. MIT makes the choice to release their interview invites in batches. In my eyes, it's probably smarter on their end. Interview some people, get a sense for how they compete, wait to see who might withdraw apps for other Top 5 school acceptances. Then go out and interview some more. It may seem disorganized to us, but in reality, they're just using their time as they see fit. I don't think it's disorganized or unprofessional in any way. They've been as open as any other school has been about their process. I'm not sure why anyone is really justified in being frustrated at how the process has gone. They've done exactly what they've said they do.

While certainly schools like Duke that offer a specific interview invite date and release all decisions on the same date is simple and (mostly) beneficial to the students, I don't think that makes them any more organized or professional.

Hello,

It seems that Sloan does not require us to list our extracurricular activities.
Are extracurricular activities important with them?

Thank you.

It just seems to me that Sloan only thinks about yield. The application deadline mostly confirms it. Now they are just waiting to see who withdraws their application to interview more people. I consider Sloan as one of the best programs out there, but the way they handle their application process reflects that the admissions committee thinks there are still second or third tier.

Hi - is Sloan very strict with their word limit? Or is it ok to go 5-10% over the word count like other schools?
