MIT Sloan admits
Apparently the MIT Business school Round 1 admit/reject decisions are out today. Anyone on the board get in?

I thought the deadline just meant they would find out by today (not actually today), so wouldn't most have already known before now? Applied Rd 2...
R1 Admit here! Weighing other letters of admission, though. @keyboardcat - I got a call from a current student shortly after I received my "decision" email yesterday afternoon. I was told all decisions were released after 5PM EST and calls started getting made shortly thereafter. Exception to that: if you were not interviewed, you may have been dinged early.
Post your stats honkey
B/c my former employer follows this board, feel free to PM me for more specifics and happy to answer any questions.

If this is true she must have written INSANE essays to get an interview, and then must have impressed the pants off the adcom.
She's either an underrepresented minority and/or her extracurriculars and essays were insanely impressive. If the latter, then more kudos to her.
Congrats Offthegrid! The MIT essays look tough! The kind of essays one would expect from Haas or Yale.
She may not have been that impressive or had great essays. You’d be surprised how random the admission decisions are.
I agree that b-school admissions can be random. But 3.0 from a no-name school and 620 are EXTREMELY low for a top school. I've never heard of a non-URM getting into a top b-school with those numbers.
(1) she was a female which helps a ton, particularly at MIT and a few other schools that women fear (2) if she was an underrepresented minority that would also help hugely
Anyone else here ever in a UG mathematics/science course at an ivy or other top university and have an under-repped female student in your class that was just CLEARLY the product of forced "diversification"? I could not believe some of the questions I heard people ask. (Not all of them of course, but I'm thinking of 1-2 examples). One girl in my calculus class literally could not figure out how to work with exponents... we were studying multi-variable calc and she didn't know how to multiple 10^5 x 10^8. She would like try to memorize the rules, but totally COULD NOT WRAP HER HEAD AROUND HOW IT WORKED. And all the indian guys in the back of the room were like so pissed off with her every time she asked a stupid question and slowed the class down and would say all kinds of harsh as shit... Hearing indian guys with their own strong accents trying to imitate a dumb chick asking questions about calculus in ebonics is funny as fuck ("uhh... yall did'neeven like be like takin' the Log correctly en shit" w/ strong Apu-style overtones) - but I still always felt sooo bad.
I THINK she must have passed another calc course beforehand (pre-req), so maybe she just wanted to sound dumb because she thought it was cute, but I really just don't know...

At my ivy undergrad, URM were so clearly below the caliber of the white and asian males who actually belonged there. But whatever. This thread is about MIT Sloan, not affirmative action.
^ you think that's bad? There was a girl in one of my probability courses who asked the prof:
"shouldn't the probability of this event be negative .3 and not .3?"
This was 6 weeks into the course. She was asked to drop the course by the professor in front of the whole class.
what school did you go to ? No name in texas?
