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.

Hey, MIT MBA vs MIT LGO which is more competitive to get into? And what does MIT expect different from the applicants applying for LGO?

And I understand the MBA itself is very challenging with all the coursework, Is it manageable to complete the MS course requirements in the same 2 years?

LGO is far more competitive in general, and even more so for Indians.

If I'm applying for LGO, will I be considered for just a FT MBA. (Is there a chance where they will offer MBA if not LGO).

If you don’t get selected to LGO
Your application will be automatically considered for FT MBA

Is this regarding Sloan's 2 yr MBA? Because the deadline is 29 Sep and applications are already open
