MIT Sloan - Waitlist

AHHH another waitlist...........

What are the next steps for waiting list candidates?
We encourage waiting list applicants to keep us updated on their situation and intentions, but please wait until at least February 10, 2006, to submit updates or inquiries, as we are busy processing Round Two applications. You are welcome to submit via hardcopy only any additional information you feel will be helpful to us. Please understand that due to the high volume of correspondence, we are limited in our ability to answer individual questions. Please refer to this page which will be updated as needed.

Please send letters to:

XXXX

Please do not send any correspondence to individual admissions committee members


I'm surprised at getting ANOTHER waitlist. I was ready for any sort of decision today. I'm a little bummed but I'm taking this as a great opportunity to show MIT how hungry I am to go there. Unlike Wharton, it seems MIT accepts additional materials for waitlist candidates so I get to write another deep soul searching essay on why I'd be a great fit at MIT.

Going back to my previous Adcom or Girlfriend post, MIT is the girl in class that plays hard to get. Sure Yale is sitting right next to you and is hot, smart, and loyal; but there's this part of you that can't stop thinking about MIT every waking moment. Most likely you'll end up content with Yale, but deep down, you wonder what could've been with MIT..

    Hey Man,

    I'm also on the Sloan wait list. Bummer! Best of luck to you on pushing your application that extra mile...

    Sorry about all the WLs - but the cup is half full. So did you decide to interview with CBS? My interviewer lived in Marin but worked in sf so we met at his office downtown. Have you scheduled a date yet?

    You might want to review last year's MIT waitlist transcript with Jon McLaughlin and Rod Garcia at http://www.accepted.com/chat/transcripts/2005/mba02172005_mit.aspx .

    Good luck!
