2.5 years of work experience: ADMITTED TO MIT SLOAN: As soon as MIT Sloan Came out with the waitlists
conversions, I got an interesting call from candidate, one of our applicants, day before yesterday confirming
that he got into MIT Sloan. This candidate was already heading to ISB and also had paid the initial deposit to
them (Partially Refundable). And in the second round of results, MIT Sloan and Chicago Booth had waitlisted
this applicant.
With 2.5 years of work experience, there are times when the applicants are even hesitant to apply to any of the
top schools and at PythaGURUS, we could work the conversion out, and have an amazing contribution to the life
of an applicant at this stage of his career. From the perspective of the school, Wait List essentially meant: We
like you and we want you to be a part of the class, but we do not like you enough.
As soon as we got the results, we started working on the waitlist Strategy. While we knew that it was upstream,
we also knew that we had nothing to lose. And we really wanted to work towards it.
OUR APPROACH TOWARDS THE WAIT LIST CONVERSION
Initial Assessment of the School’s Decision: I think it was imperative for us to understand what could be the
most important reason for this insecurity. And after several rounds of analysis of candidate’s profile and the
essays that we had submitted in the previous round, the main point of focus was “Maturity”. We had to project
maturity. While we had gathered a good story around his goals, and we had initial apprehensions of whether or
not the long term goals could be the ones coming from someone who has not even turned 25 yet. While we had
already positioned ourselves strongly in those goals, the only approach was to go full force and take a head on
collision in terms of expressing maturity.
ACTION: We showcased that maturity through more recommendations, through alumni recommendations, and
making the candidate create a better network of individuals who had graduated from MIT Sloan or from MIT
University and not necessarily the business school.
Every time we communicated with the school, we had something new and very relevant to what we wanted to
update the school about. It is not just about sending just a random community essay or telling them about what
you have already told them, and neither it is about “By the way I forgot to tell you this”. It is imperative of think
from the perspective of the admissions committee.
