Does any guy know that if you can get MBA degree in Sloan with MBA degree? I just asked this question for my friend. She got her MBA degree in another university 6 years ago.

Do you mean if your degree will be issued by MIT/Sloan? If so, certainly, the MBA will be stamped by MIT.

Ah, I think I misunderstood the question! Can you apply for an MBA with Sloan if you already have an MBA degree?

This is not Sloan-specific, but I imagine any school will want to know why she feels she needs another MBA. Did the first one not help her achieve her goals? Why would a Sloan MBA be any different? I'm sure I've seen this question in the forums somewhere but perhaps it'll be better to ask the admissions consultants!

From Sloan website FAQ:

I already have an MBA. Am I eligible to apply?
Candidates with previous MBA degrees are eligible to apply. These candidates should, however, detail the reasons for their pursuit of a second MBA degree in the application.

Hello guys,

I have a question for the off-campus interviewees!
Is there anything we have to bring to the interview? I didn't see anywhere that we should bring our transcripts, a resume copy or anything else - and I'm a bit worried about that.

Thanks in advance!

So what if our application still says "COMPLETE AND BEING EVALUATED"? No email, checked my spam folder. Kind of on a roller coaster here between the original "deadline" of the 8th, then today.

Anyone else in same boat? No change to status online.

At this point you should just call them - it seems like most decisions have been out, including dings and waitlists.

Admissions says that they are still reviewing some applications. They are trying to have decisions out by the end of the week. The person with which I spoke said that there are still interview invites available.

Interviewed on campus yesterday. 50% behavioral, 50% personal goals. Come prepared with a few recent stories not on your application - as they suggest - and you should be good to go. For me the interview was quite conversational - they really want to understand, rather than grill you. Good luck.

Thanks, very good information.

Actually I'm an international student and chose to have on-campus interview because right now I'm in Boston in business. I'm not sure whether they will take that into account when they interview me?

Since all interviews are done by admissions officers, they are all treated the same, no matter in what location they take place. In addition, many people travel far distances to interview (for example, my friend traveled from South Africa to London to interview a couple years ago, and did not get in, incidentally), so you won't be the only one.

I've just a little worried about my oral English. May not be as good as native speakers.

Diversity > Fluency in oral English

I don't think it matters that much as long as you can get your point across. During my campus visit, I met a lot of students from non-native English speaking countries and they were communicating just fine with their accents :-P. I think they would value diversity over fluency in oral English.

If MIT Sloan is interviewing you, then they would have seen your GMAT, GPA, etc. They know that a person of such caliber can pick up fluency in a language soon and that shouldn't be a reason to reject them.

I'm not a native speaker either so I felt a bit insecure about my ability to get my points across. It's just important to remember that Adcoms prefer simpler, easier to understand language, so stick to those instead of fancy vocabulary. If you feel like you are speaking too slowly, work that to your advantage by enunciating every word with clarity. This will beat out fast-spoken, fancy-sounding jargon every time. Besides, accents are really charming, and the Adcoms are more likely to pay attention to every word.

Agreed. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Sorry, I misunderstood the original question. I thought you were asking if you got extra points for traveling to campus for your interview.

Based on Admission chat today. All R1 applicants have been notified one way or the other.

Also Adcom mentioned that they are expecting less R1 applicants this year because they moved their deadline one month earlier.

Last year R1 and R2 has roughly equal number of applicants and they offered equal number of offers in each round.

I lurked around the chatroom as well - it's interesting that the Adcoms say that even though they are expecting fewer R1 applicants this year, they are still trying to offer equal number of offers. I don't know if that means that they are being more generous to those who are invited, or they are creating a bigger waitlist to better manage yield in case R2 applications fall short as well.
