Honestly, I just missed waiving it somehow.

Among all of the graduate programs, the MBA is probably the least "stat" dependent. Execution is critical in this process. There is no excuse for "just missing" something.

With that said, not waiving your recommendation will probably have a negative but inconsequential effect on your application. The adcom has to know that a good portion of applicants have access to the recommendations anyway. Withholding an interview invite or admissions offer solely on this basis is ludicrous.

Well I guess I never attached weight to something that's presented as (and should be in my opinion) a pure inconsequential choice. Whether it affects the app or not is one thing (I hope it doesn't), but I would love to chat about this with an adcom. The recommendations can contain good feedback and could be quite useful to have access to.

You'll eventually regret that you found this forum. It'll drive you nuts. I was in blissful ignorance before this.

I've received an invite for an interview from Sloan this afternoon... I'm an international applicant from Western Europe.

And in case those involved in the earlier debate about waiving the right to view recommendations.... I didn't waive my right, so I guess that it can't have done me much harm :)

Best of luck to everyone else who's still waiting for news.

The interview's in a hub city. Apologies for not being more specific, but there aren't so many interview slots in the city, and I'd rather not identify myself!
