Sloan Fellow 19, great post, well deserved congrats!
By the way, I noticed that MSx is 11 months and MIT Sloan is 12, curious how they managed to squeeze it below 1 year at Standford.
Are you going alone or with a family? It is interesting that at Stanford MSx they provide a cost estimate at the site - living allowance for married couple on dormitory is 70 K USD and 107 K out of campus! Extra 36 K USD, if 3 kids are brought. Curious, if living costs in Cambridge any more moderate.


Hello Erjan,

I think the MSx program is almost one year, few days isn't that much. at MIT there is the IAP during the Jan, where there will be no classes, so practically and in term of real hours of study, they are quite similar. I believe Stanford MSx was even less than that years ago, it was 10 months or so!!

In term of cost: For MIT Sloan Fellows, the estimated cost for single student is $182K, for couples (I'm not sure) , it is near $200K, and add 6k for each kid.
It is costly for both programs, both Cambridge and Stanford are insanely expensive for living..
I am going alone..

Thanks, helpful information.
By the way, did you ever consider LBS Strategy and Leadership (Sloan) Master program? I am just curious why the LBS Sloan tuition is only 69500 GPB or roughly 9700 USD, which is 35 000 USD cheaper than MIT Sloan?

Guys,

The following is an interview with the great former Director of MIT Sloan Fellows, Stephen Sacca, who himself a graduate of the program. It is rich of information and tips...

No, I didn't. Sloan Fellows was born in MIT by MIT alumnus, The business school of MIT is named after him, and realistically MIT is much better brand, network, and education.. MIT offers an MBA, London doesn't.. and the MBA is mostly done once in life , I prefer to do it as good and best as possible ..

This I don't understand! I thought it was said in this forum that they were already 111 Admits, with a yield of about 80%; also, it seems the waitlist is substantial, and yet, they extend the deadline by a week! What are your thoughts on this? :roll:

I think sloanaspirant2018 meant " rejection after interview".

Thanks, Joe. It seems most seats are occupied already. Good luck to those on the waiting list.

BTW, which website you can see that number? I cannot find anything like that among many websites MIT gave me.

Based on previous responses in the thread (I am happy to be corrected, that is what I remember) - there is a site where already admitted students can see the stats....
110 is the number of the class, but as it was written before by Sloan Fellow, about 80% of those who receive admission offer actually matriculate...

This is the latest webinar from the admission team. One of the notes, is that the class size may vary from year to year..

Anyone from Round 3 here? Haven't heard from adcom. Interview invites already out?

Also, can anyone that has been accepted to Stanford MSx and MIT fellows here share her reasoning behind choosing MIT Fellows? Thanks!
