MIT Sloan update
Wow, been a busy blog posting day for me. I just got an email from MIT:
Dear Brownoski,
The Admissions Committee of the MIT Sloan MBA Program has considered your application and has regretfully concluded that we cannot offer you a place in the incoming class.
As you no doubt realize, the MIT Sloan School is comparatively small, with approximately 324 MBA students entering each year. While our size offers advantages to both our students and faculty, it also creates an extremely difficult selection process––this year, well over 2,900 candidates will compete for the 324 places in the class. I think it is no exaggeration to say that the majority of our applicants would be good students for our program. Since we have so few spaces to offer, the problem is not only choosing academically and professionally qualified applicants, but also choosing the very strongest candidates from a field of extraordinarily talented individuals.
We realize this news comes as a disappointment. I do hope, however, that you will accept our best wishes for your success.
I'm glad I got to visit Sloan, this rejection helps put closure and I still think highly of Sloan's program. Surprisingly, I am not that upset and expect a similar letter from Wharton soon.

The same letter came for me as well. Don't sweat it. At least you don't have to worry about public transportation. Good luck! :-)

On the one hand, I'm sorry to hear it. On the other hand, this puts you one step closer to Yale!
What can I say? I'm biased. :)
Glad to see you sent in your deposit. And about a place to live, you may want to check out Center Pointe. It has very nice bathrooms!

Loved your picture posts! Sorry to hear about MIT. But hey, you can't go wrong with the new curriculum at Yale, the brand, and the impressive class diversity. The Imaginary Engineer has become the Reality Engineer. :-)

Aw, sorry about MIT; I'm glad that you're not too bummed about it though. You'll have a great time at Yale!
