On person in the Sloan wait list forum was accepted off of the wait list. Has anyone else heard anything, acceptances, rejections?

I am able to login to their application url. But it gives me a blank page. It doesn't give me any link/button to enter my details. Did anyone faced this issue?

Did you already interview? When did they ask you to interview? Did they say anything about the wait list?

I interviewed early last week and was invited late during the week before. It was not a long wait time between the invite and interview. Basically I was told that they were working through the waiting list to fill more slots.

Poseidon, I see that you are listed as matriculating to Sloan. Did they ask you to interview, then you interviewed and then they offered you admission?

Yes, everything happened really quickly. I was a 2nd round applicant and got waitlisted in early March. I didn't submit any updates but received an email from Admissions at the end of May inviting me to interview the following week. I flew to Boston, interviewed, and got my decision this week.

Best of luck

Awesome! Shoot me a PM if you have any questions about logistics. And I'm not sure if there are any Seattle Sloanies on here, but there are a few in the class (check the Google Group and our Facebook group for details).
