Uh, you guys sure MIT just hasn't gotten around to taking this past year's essay page down? These are exactly the same questions I answered last October. And look at this note under the "self-reported transcripts" heading:
"LFM does not accept self-reported transcripts. LFM applicants should instead mail transcripts by December 17, 2007"

good catch - I thought these were for this year because they linked out to the new dates for R1, R2 admission. I could be wrong - will remove the essays until we know for sure!  thanks! ac

when are you planning on visiting? I called yesterday to ask when their "Sloan on the Road" type events start - turns out not until mid-July! The Admissions lady I spoke with also advised that I save my money and wait until classes start in the fall to visit - apparently if you go during summer, there may or may not be students/adcom members to speak with...

Unfortunately MIT's essays change a lot unlike some other schools so you really cant get a head start. Definitely keep an eye on their events page, like most schools they start having them in Sept.

Kellogg Class of 2010...still active and willing to help. However, I do not do profile reviews, don't offer predictions on chances and am far to busy to review essays, so save the energy of writing me a PM seeking help for these. If I don't respond to a PM that is not one of the previously mentioned trash can destined messages, please don't take it personally I get so many messages I have a hard to responding to most. The more interesting, compelling, or humorous you message the more likely I am to respond.

This is what the LFM program's FAQ page states: All LFM graduates earn two degrees: A Master of Science degree (sometimes referred to at MIT as an SM) in an engineering field in one of the participating departments in the School of Engineering, and An MBA or a Master of Science in Management from MIT Sloan. The primary difference between the MBA and Master of Science is that the science degree requires a thesis. Since all LFM students complete a thesis as part of their program, LFM graduates may choose either the MBA or the Master of Science degree. and by the way, what is that E & I track? Is this some sorta of B-school lingo that one should become familiar with? I am yet to get used to these B-school lingos and any insight into this will help folks like myself. Thanks.

E&I refers to the Entrepreneurship and Innovation program at MIT Sloan. http://entrepreneurship.mit.edu/E_and_I.php

I was referring to the E&I program when I said it's not a joint degree program. E&I means entrepreneurship and innovation...it's a sort of like another major or focus area offered by Sloan for people interested in entrepreneurship. E&I is not, as far as I'm aware, a term used by other business schools.
