Hey y’all, I’m Francis and a recent admit. Feel free to ask away

Yes sign up with admissions for campus events. Big plus because it’s a chance to interact with admissions and get bonus points for attending admission events.

Taking MBA math or HBS core is another way to demonstrate commitment and quant readiness.

Hi Francis! I’d love to get your perspective on what aspects of my profile to highlight for Sloan? What do they value and how can I put my best foot forward?

Actually not just Francis but I see there’s a bunch of you!

Would love perspectives :)

I was very concerned about applying to MIT because my GMAT was not the strongest...... so hopefully that gives some of you a litte bit of hope....... Their application is also much different then other programs

Craft your story, tell it well, and be genuine throughout the entire application.

Remember, every part of your application is another part to showcase yourself (application, resume, video, cover letter).

Their essay is a 300 word cover letter. I think it helps to demonstrate not only your goals, but how you have been a problem solver in previous professions.

yeah, with so little space to write (cover letter and video essay), I really want to understand what to focus on!

Also - curious to hear about video essays! Did you focus on one topic only / share an over arching life story?

Definitely story. Highlight how you’re different and what makes you unique.

Early thoughts but I wanted to video it at a women’s only gym I’m a member of and have helped grow as a community over the last 2 years.

But I thought maybe that’s too limited in scope

but is a big part of my life :)

I used first year students to help me through various clubs, service to school, and an admissions consultant.

I feel like the idea of storytelling/being genuine becomes so daunting because you’re trying to find a fine line between your professional/silly self. How did you approach your tone for the video essay? Or even the essay, if that was a factor in your mind

If that’s a big part of your life, then definitely go that route. All the current students told me to be genuine. Being genuine is so important in your application.
