Should I send a letter to MIT and ask about my application? Has anyone tried this? At least it is a more active way instead of waiting here.

Sloan didn't commit to give you an admitted/denied decision until Feb 6th. As it's not yet Feb 6th, I'm not sure that contacting the school and asking for a decision or update will help your chances of getting a spot.

Well, I would not do that if I were you. I know how hard it is to wait (I am having a hard time waiting until feb 6th), but I believe it is not good to contact adcom to ask about your prospects in such busy times.

As tempting as it is, I would strongly urge you NOT to do this. I would recommend taking up a new hobby (like homebrewing beer) or something else to take your mind off of it. Also, you might want to take a break from the message boards because they make it hard to think about anything else. I did that in Nov-early Dec and it did wonders for my sanity.

I haven't been keeping up with this thread. Have all R1 applicants been interviewed/dinged, or are some people still waiting to hear if they got an interview invite?

According to the adcom, they will continue to release invites until Feb. 6th. My guess is that the majority have been sent out though. I don't know of anyone who has been dinged yet.

OK thanks! I also forgot that I can just look at the first page of the thread to see the applicant stats and such. Best of luck to everyone that applied in R1!

Hi all,

If I've had a significant positive event happen in my current position, and wanted to inform the AdCom (per their general recommendation that applications update them on such events), is it common practice to do so with a paper (snailmail) letter or an email to the AdCom? In the latter scenario, is it better to put the letter in the body text of the email itself, or as an attachment? I'm a designer, so I tend to care about formatting, etc...

Also, anybody out there applying from Hong Kong? If so, have any HK residents received invite notifications or rejections?

Cheers!
Chris

Chris - I would just email AdCom and ask them the same question you're asking here. I'm sure that they would like to know about it and will tell you how to handle the update properly. Probably happens a lot, so I'm sure there's some type of preferred process.

Anyone have a guesstimate as to when the R2 interview invites start up? Not for a while until they get done with R1 decisions?

Does anyone know when the San Francisco interviews are? Wondering if those of us who haven't heard yet still have a shot.

Chris,

Did you end up contacting AdCom? I might be in a similar situation and would love to hear what they said. Any details you can provide on the process for updating AdCom would be great.

Just wondering... does anyone have a sense whether the timing of an invite is any indication of ones chances of success?

Hey guys and girls!

I am a Sloanie 2013, and I am in the midst of a winter internship, which is pretty intense, so I find myself going through this site to remind myself how much worse my situation could be. :wink:

I certainly feel your pain.
You can ask me questions about last year's process - I will try to check in as often as I can.

Bye for now

Hello again, I am a Sloanie 13' who went through this last year.
So a couple of you asked me similar questions in private messages. Here is my answer:

Last year, the only notifications were made on the decision day. So I wouldn't expect anything before Feb. 6. I think you get an email at 5pm EST saying that your status has changed on their website, and then you go and check. The whole experience is quite intense, and to make it just a little bit worse for us last year, they had a glitch and only posted the decisions at 7pm EST...

You will also get a phone call from a current student, but that will only be after the online status has changed. That's how it was for international applicants last year - I am not sure about domestic.

Just a disclaimer - this is how it was last year, so I can't guarantee this will be the same process this year.
I would not make any special inquiries if I were you, since these people are very busy at the moment and they might not appreciate it. Just hang in there for just a little bit longer.
