Congrats to all the admits. And, I wish waitlisted ones also see their dreams come true. I am targeting MIT Sloan, R-2, and I have just one question. In MIT Sloan's first essay (which ends with ....Discuss how you will contribute toward advancing the mission based on examples of past work and activities.), how many examples you guys provided? 1? 2?
I am working on the essays all by myself and your suggestions would help me draft the essay better.
Thanks!
I provided 2 main examples and then 2 smaller examples in the essay. I would separate out your examples of why you are innovated and how you are well principled unless you have 1 example that really covers both very well. Also, the Adcom seems to appreciate diversity in your background so I would definitely include more than 1 example. Don't write what you feel Adcom just wants to read but what is personal and meaningful to you. Let your personality shine in your essays!
I am sure there are a lot of winning strategies so please don't think what I wrote is the correct/only path, it is simply what worked for me. Good luck, I am sure you will do great!
everyone will be different. i used one example and listed three ways it made an impact! there is no right way in answering these questions.
