💡 Everyone knows Sloan is famous for tech and analytics... but is that all? What does MIT really look for in its admits—and how do you stand out in a pool full of “quant + tech” profiles?

In our upcoming insider talk with a MIT adcom, we’ll uncover:
✨ What makes Sloan unique vs HBS & Stanford
✨ How to ace the famous cover letter and video statement
✨ The truth about Sloan’s behavioral interview process
✨ What successful admits’ stories really look like
✨ Sloan’s strengths in consulting, entrepreneurship, healthcare & more
✨ How to stand out as an overrepresented candidate

📺 Watch the full session here 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEvm6-rBsu4

Hey guys, so MIT asks to calculate cGPA ourselves and explain how we did it. Can we calculate them through any credential website like WES?

Seems like it is an Executive Order. Can be challenged in court and reversed. Although anything is possible.

This will take effect from 21st Sep - like in 1 day.

New H1Bs won’t be issued until this is sorted. Current H1Bs won’t be able to travel outside US and return without paying 100K.

Regardless of what happens, the effects of this will be lasting and detrimental.

If the degree is STEM - OPT is unaffected as far as I know. For NOW, at least.

Even if OPT is unaffected, there is no way to get a job through H1B - after this.

The ROI of a US MBA WILL NOT be justified without a H1B job or a salary for most international applicants.

Hello All,
I am applying for MIT Sloan Full-time MBA program in R1 2026 intake.
For MIT's cover letter which needs to be uploaded as a document, how critical it is to meet 300 limit word count. I am at 347 words.
Also would like to validate what kind of topics align well with the cover letter - Short background of career/ choices so far / life values / future vision / why MBA, why now? / Why MIT Sloan?
I am finding it difficult to cover the richness of my work experience in past 5 years while connecting it with life values, vision , short term and long term goals and then highlighting existing skill gaps and plan with an MBA at MIT Sloan, all in just 300 words.

Does anyone have any ideas on structures/ frameworks that are wort considering or any resources I can look up to? How are you all approaching this?

When I visited MIT, this is what the Adcoms told me

- Should convey 3 levels higher and lower
- ⁠Clear split of functions/roles/managers/and direct reports (if any)
- ⁠Additionally pls feel free to mark the recommender if applicable

They stressed saying that it’s only an indicative data point that gives insight into your touch points within the org - and nothing more. So as long as the above is simple and clearly conveyed, it should be good.

wanted to check for the resume - Sloan’s portal mentions a certain format. Are those just guidelines or are we supposed to format our resume in that very way?
