No idea. But isn't the waitlist supposed to move at the next decision date? First week of April?

Was there a wait list specific chat recently? I don't think so. There is however an online chat scheduled for the 10th at 12pm ET. Again, don't think it's specific for wait lists.

What updates have you guys sent?

What updates have you guys sent?

I'm about to send my first update, which is mainly work-related, but also emphasizes my commitment to Sloan once more.

Is Becca the waitlist manager the update should be addressed to?

I sent in two till now. Will send one more by March beginning.

Becca does handle the wait listed people and sends in the confirmation but the official ID where we have to mail stuff is : mbawaitinglist@sloan.mit.edu

Hope this helps.

I don't know if I was a special case but I did hear back from MIT and was lucky enough to get in off of the waitlist. I can't comment if anyone else has received an update but I thought you guys might appreciate knowing. Best of luck. Hope you guys get in and I see you next year!

Congratulations Martell!
Do you mind sharing what actions you've taken after being wait listed?

I talked to some alumni and had a friend's dad (who was a Sloan alum) write an additional letter of recommendation for me. I actually was in the process of finalizing my first update letter when I got the news.

Hey! Are any WL'ed applicants visiting MIT this weekend? There are the sports analytics and energy conferences going on and I thought it'll be a good time to visit :)

When are you guys sending your last update? I'm guessing that a few days before 4/6 would be too late in the game?

I'm planning on sending my final update this week, but I think just sending the update is more important than the exact day.

Still waitlisted. Seems like from chatroom a few others were also "continue to wait"s.
