Schools in the US are proud to be a meritocracy and so using prestige or status is a bad move. Also you don’t wanna repeat stuff you have in your CV but you could maybe go deeper into a bullet you have on your CV. At the end of the day they care about the impact that you have made so far. They don’t really care about goals or even how much you love the school. They just want to know that you are someone who has leadership potential and how you’ve demonstrated that in terms of qualifiable impact. **So just focus the whole thing on problems you have solved a positive impact that you have generated in your life so far. ** That’s really it. Don’t go more than 10% over the word limit.

Hello,
I am applying to the MIT MBA Early Admission. First of all, I applied for and received the GMAT/GRE test waiver, does it mean anything? I mean, should I look at it as a good sign or is it absolutely normal?
I am only missing the cover letter and then I can send my application but first I would like some feedbacks, so here it is:
Dear Admissions Committee,
I am writing to you to express my interest in the MIT Sloan MBA Early Admission 2022.
I have always been quite open-minded and eager to explore new places, meet new people, and learn about cultures different from my own. I spent my junior year of high school in Indiana, USA, and later I chose to do a six-month university exchange program in Spain, and subsequently pursued a double master’s degree in France.
During the years, I recognized a strong interest in applying theoretical knowledge. Indeed, I enrolled in an English-taught MSc in International Management which is strongly based on experiential learning. For example, last year I lead a team in an Innovation Deck competition. We developed a business strategy for a protein engineering Contract Research Organization (CRO) to help them enter the market. This resulted in a nearly perfect GPA (29.9/30) thanks to a very high attention to details.
Following the work I did in various group projects, I decided to further my growing passion for financial subjects by obtaining a double degree in Corporate Finance and Fintech from ESC Clermont Business School. I then enrolled in a professional master on blockchain technologies, and when the opportunity presented itself, I accepted an internship at Accenture where I could bring all my studies and passions together.
Despite studying, the desire to help shape my community brought me to being elected as student representative twice, and I helped reform the admission process for our department’s undergraduate courses by collaborating with professors.
I have had the pleasure to visit MIT’s campus a few years ago and realized that I wanted to be part of your community. Although at the time I wanted to study physics, the desire to enter an organization that fosters innovation in a unique way has only grown, and I cannot wait to contribute to MIT’s impact on the world.
I thank you for your time and consideration of my application. I am available at your leisure to clarify or further explain my resume and letter if needed.
Posted from my mobile deviceWould you focus on anything in particular among those I wrote in the Cover Letter?
