Was rejected after the waitlist after getting into HSW first round last year lol, so could be yield protection to see if you are a HSW admit or not

You just need one of the three😀
Following. In the same boat.

Anecdotally, I have heard that MIT Sloan uses the waitlist to help them figure out if a candidate really wants to come so I would use every attempt they give you to update them and do further networking and continue to improve your profile
Personally, I know of a few cases of people getting off the waitlist and I think the common themes are -
1. Get letters of support from current students or alumni
2. Do an analysis of what an adcom may be hesitant about in your profile and address it
3. Have a strong and well timed “update” email for admissions
Feel free to DM me if you want to talk more! Many people get off the waitlist!!! Don’t lose hope :)
Also got the WL
710 GMAT, 3.6 GPA from T15, currently in VC
Looks like a lot of people got waitlisted?
Bummer! I got rejected 😞 My GMAT was 730, GPA was 3.8, and also work at MBB and felt I had good ECs. US-based
Sorry to hear that :( Your profile is strong. Good luck with the other applications!
Waitlisted: 760 / 3.5 Military Intel Officer, working in defense consulting now.
Given the small size and selectivity of Sloan I’m not sure what to think of the waitlist. For me, it really depends on how the veteran slots get filled. Not sure what to think!
