Cover Letter: MIT Sloan seeks students whose personal characteristics demonstrate that they will make the most of the incredible opportunities at MIT, both academic and non-academic. We are on a quest to find those whose presence will enhance the experience of other students. We seek thoughtful leaders with exceptional intellectual abilities and the drive and determination to put their stamp on the world. We welcome people who are independent, authentic, and fearlessly creative — true doers. We want people who can redefine solutions to conventional problems, and strive to preempt unconventional dilemmas with cutting-edge ideas. We demand integrity and respect passion. Taking the above into consideration, please submit a cover letter seeking a place in the MIT Sloan MBA program. Your letter should conform to a standard business correspondence, include one or more professional examples that illustrate why you meet the desired criteria above, and be addressed to the Admissions Committee (300 words or fewer, excluding address and salutation). 2. Short answer question: The Admissions Committee is excited to learn more about you and your background. In 250 words, please respond to the following short answer question: How has the world you come from shaped who you are today? For example, your family, culture, community, all help to shape aspects of your life experiences and perspective. Please use this opportunity to share more about your background. 3. Video questions: Introduce yourself to your future classmates. Here’s your chance to put a face with a name, let your personality shine through, be conversational, be yourself. We can’t wait to meet you! Videos should adhere to the following guidelines: No more than 1 minute (60 second) in length Single take (no editing) Speaking directly to the camera Do not include background music or subtitles Note: While we ask you to introduce yourself to your future classmates in this video, the video will not be shared beyond the admissions committee and is for use in the application process only. All MBA applicants will be prompted to respond to a randomly generated, open-ended question. The question is designed to help us get to know you better; to see how you express yourself and to assess fit with the MIT Sloan culture. It does not require prior preparation. Video Essay 2 is part of your required application materials and will appear as a page within the application, once the other parts of your application are completed. Applicants are given 5 seconds to prepare for a 60-second response.

Congratulations to everyone who got in! Scholarship letters come seperately at the end of the last addmission round. You can see the average range for $$ from the past year.

I got a fellowship letter along with my admit letter. May I check if it's possible to still receive a Scholarship at the end of the last admission round? Can someone get both a fellowship and a scholarship?

Great question to ask during the upcoming virtual admit networking event on Dec 17 (if someone can get both fellowship and scholarship). Yes, it is possible to receive scholarship at the end of the admission cycle when the school knows how much scholarship money it needs to disburse. Last year most people received their scholarship letters after R2.

I also did not receive scholarship letter, quite bummed because I was hoping to get scholarship. I received scholarship from Booth though. Thinking I might accept their offer if I am not able to know whether I can get scholarship

Hello does anyone know if I can directly email the admissions office to negotiate for a scholarship to match a scholarship I received from another M7 school but I am more interested to join MIT?

Matching scholarships isn’t really a thing. It’s usually a tactic adopted by schools in similar tier during scholarship negotiations to tap your scholarship

The crux is to get more out of school

Mine was - tell
Me about a time when you helped someone outside your family and friends.

Generally, these are all standard TMAT types questions.

Mine was something like "Describe a project where you collaborated with a cross-functional team from various departments? What strategies did you use to ensure effective teamwork?"

The original prompt I got was a bit longer than this - took me about 10 seconds to read the prompt.

Note that you'll also only have 10 seconds to prepare - so essentially you might have no time to think. I prepared around 7 short stories before starting video 2 - turned out none is applicable to this prompt, so I literally had to improvise.

So take it easy - go in with some stories in your pocket which you can draw upon, but also be prepared to think on your feet and just speak about what comes to your mind.
