I wish everybody the best of luck for the upcoming application cycle at Sloan.
Please see attached deadlines for the various applications rounds.
For those of you interested in the specifics of the M.I.T. MBA experience, you might want to have a look here: https://mitsloan.mit.edu/mba/academics/mba-curriculum
I´ll try to keep an eye on this topic and support the mods with questions that might come up.
All the best,

Hi Arro44,
I was looking for deadlines for the 2021 intake but from your attachment (that is the same that I find on their website) I see that deadlines are still related to 2020 intake (for example, Round 1 deadline is 1 Oct 2019).
Can you confirm that the new deadlines have not yet been published?
Thanks!

Standardized tests, such as GMAT, GRE, EA, TOEFL, IELTS, are a component of the application process and play an important role in our holistic evaluation process. However, in view of challenges brought about by the coronavirus pandemic, we will allow candidates for the 2020-21 admission cycle to submit their application without the test and review their submitted material as is and without negative inferences. If admitted, candidates will not be required to take a test.

Pretty crazy! I am wondering if it is Good or Bad? On one hand, anyone can apply who wishes to pay the $250 application fee.... so seems good but does it make it harder for people to stand out now? would over-represented groups be even more over-represented? Does it make easeir for people from weird or unique backgrounds to get in?
Edit:
Personally I am mixed on this change. I think the threshold for entry is definitely lower with this change. As the result, the applicant pool will definitely go up and the diversity will go up as well (potentially good) as people from a variety of backgrounds will apply without a need to have a 3-month prep period for the GMAT/GRE. At the same time, I feel this change so late before the deadline (less than 2 weeks until R1) is really really not helpful for the serious applicants who have worked hard and are in teh submission stages of their application. I feel this change is a bit desperate to be so last minute, esp when GMAC has just announced GMAT can be taken online again for 1 extra retake and GRE has been chugging along pretty well all this time. I feel the folks who have struggled with the GMAT should definitely find this as super positive news. At the same time, considering the competition and how hard it is to get into MIT Sloan, people who have struggled with the GMAT are not likely to get in anyway and I feel this will be a lot of crushed dreams and done mostly to drive up applications... care to disagree?
P.S. Since other schools require GMAT anyway still (and some have applied already to a few with R1 deadlines), this only makes a difference to a few users who got 660 with a great profile. However, those who are applying to Booth, Wharton, etc are going to take the GMAT anyway and this makes hardly any difference to them. It changes things a bit for R2, giving R2 applicants some additional strategies as I feel a few other schools will follow MIT Sloan so there may be a few options to apply without the test scores.
