MIT Sloan - Extends Round 2 MBA Deadlines for laid off Tech Applicants

November 30th, 2022: MIT Sloan has introduced an extended Round 2 deadline for the 2023 entering class - targeting Technology applicants who were at the receiving end of the recent layoffs at Meta, Twitter, and several prominent FinTech firms. The new deadline for those affected will be February 23rd, 2023.

No Application components will be waived, which can lead to some interesting conversations with former supervisors.
