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.

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?

Best to do it exactly that way. I have heard Adcom specially go out and mention on podcasts that they are specifically asking for it to be that way as it’s easier for them to interpret.

Hey I’m not sure if for the MIT Sloan resume, education needs to be on top or work experience? Any guidance here?

Yes. Please start with Education first. And then the work experience

They do not use enforceable language on the app - hence maybe confusion - but in events/podcasts - they make it clear they’d like it a certain way and it’s how they’ve prescribed on the app.

I’ve heard people get different things from:

“What are you most afraid of”

“What did you do when a colleague/team mate wasn’t contributing enough”

“What accomplishment are you the most proud of”

“Tell us about a time you failed, and what did you learn from it”

More prompts can be found here:

After h1b rule is it still worth it to try for us universities!?

Personally, I’ve chosen not to worry about it. It is out of our control, and may as well be temporary. Has happened in the past a few times.

Plus, right now, worrying about an “illusion of choice” doesn’t serve well.

Let the choice materialise, and this call can be taken much later.

Hello guys,
I tried to submit my app to Sloan but realized I NEED to choose a school in the academic dropdown list before submitting my application.

But I am international, my school is not listed and they ask us to send them a mail in our school is not on the dropdown list. Did anyone encounter that situation ? How long do they take to reply to your email ?
