How about including undergrad major also? That would be interesting to see what the class makeup looks like.

Out of curiosity, would any of you that got interviews be willing to post your stats (GPA, major, GMAT)?

I'd post mine, but I doubt anyone wants to know the stats of those that didn't get an interview...

I didn't. I guess I'm not what they're looking for. Congratulations to everyone else though.

Are you sure this is true of MIT-Sloan? I have never heard or read that. I have however read that Tuck and Kellogg will consider quant and verbal scores from different tests.

Go for it. Let us know what they tell you.

Re: interviews and int/int. inclined students

Ya, it's anyone's guess. I personally don't think it will be until the end of next week though. But that's just me.

Re: Just one more piece of demographic data

It looks like I'm pretty similar to the others posting here. I'm a white male from a large public university studying in the sciences. I think the key to this program is extra curricular. It's easy for Harvard to pull smart people, but difficult to find people who are incredibly accomplished at suc...

i don't think it could hurt to try to send in better gmat scores after the deadline, as long as you are not too pushy. you may just want to send them another official report (official reports are often received after the deadline, which is perfectly acceptable to harvard, so an additional official ...

Re: G-NOT

scarter - I got a fairly low GMAT score but didn't even think about taking it after July 1st. Did you ask admissions if they would accept post-July 1st scores, or are did you take it again hoping they would? I think he's taking it with the hope that the admissions board will accept it, but he can a...
