You are not limited to 3-years in your cover letter. So if you made a significant impact (more than 3 years ago for example the tsunami relief, then put that in the cover letter).

BTW I submitted my LGO application today.It is a hail mary shot but it is a shot

Good luck to all the R1 candidates!!!

True, but somehow I felt it didn't fit in with the rest of the cover letter so I left it for the interview.

I received an invite this afternoon to interview in Toronto on December 30th. It was huge relief as I am not feeling too optimistic about getting a call from Stanford tonight.

LGO app submitted earlier this morning. The way R1 is going, all my eggs might be in the Sloan basket. Great to hear about the interview invites.

People in BW reported Canada invites the other day and Europe invites yesterday or today. Still nothing on the West Coast.

Still waiting for that mysterious second batch, I guess.

Sounds like they're baking cookies. But seriously, except HBS and Booth, the transparency of most b-schools has been non-existent. Rumor mills here are worse than the magazines at the grocery store checkout lines.

Yes, our applications are being slowly roasted over an open fire. Feeling the Christmas spirit yet?

As long as I'm not a turkey. Personally I like lamb for Christmas, but the S/O is off red meat.

Congrats theDreamChaser! Can you answer the usual questions with a new invite region being opened (how many slots left/available, when are the slots)? Thanks. Looks like SF should happen soon, if it hasn't already

Actually MIT's email specifically asks not to share the content so I am sorry I can't answer those detailed questions. I hope SF will be coming soon! Best of luck!

I am a MARGINAL AT BEST candidate who will be applying for LGO round on 12/15. I am no expert but please trust me on this

MIT DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR GOALS!!! (at least in the cover letter) and don't talk about why MIT and what MIT can offer you.

I covered my goal in the cover letter in ONE sentence. I guess I am lucky because one of the LGO specific essay did ask about why LGO and career plan so I talked about my goals in that essay....

I met with a Sloan adcom last winter and must say her comments somewhat contradict this thinking. I agree that Sloan discourages you from reciting the career goals essay. They acknowledge the high percentage of MBA students who change career paths after enrollment and don't want you to enter the program wearing blinders. They love the entrepreneurial nature of Sloan and its ability to change you, your goals, etc.

However, discussing why an MBA and why Sloan is not the same as discussing your goals. I was told to address the cover letter as if it were a professional cover letter. In a professional cover letter, I would certianly tell the prospective employer why I wanted to work there; thus I told Sloan why I want to attend there. Seems logical to me, but I haven't heard anything since I submitted a month and a half ago, so what do I know?

When I attended the Info Session, Julie Strong said "Please do not tell us Why Sloan. We know that you all go to the website, talk to students, do your homework, we don't want to read about us, we want to read about you"

And she also mentioned that they knew that pretty much every applicant stated in his/her application that xx school was a dream school, so they knew it was just BS...

my 2 cents

about the Cover Letter

I actually have a strong opinion on this but waited till I get my interview invite to post this to have some credibility. I agree that what adcom said over time regarding whether or not to discuss your goals and why MIT was somewhat confusing and contradicting. But I believe there is no one way to write your cover letter. I felt strongly about my goal and it has a lot to do with who I am so I talked about it in my cover letter, not just merely, but it was sort of the central thread. I also believe that the goal of a professional cover letter is to show how you fit the job (fit and contribution) and your interest in the company. So talking about why specifically you want to attend MIT has everything to do with "why you deserve a spot at MIT Sloan".

So don't worry if you talked about your goal in your cover letter, and for R2 applicants, write it the best way you think that it tells your story/message, there is no certain way. And again, take my advice with a grain of salt, just like any advice you hear. Everybody's case is different.
