Hello @mifta01715,

Please share this with Kawsar.

The MFin at MIT is highly competitive and while his profile is a strong one overall (and holistic as well, complete with leadership roles on the extra-curricular front), he needs to put forth a set of compelling essays that adequately highlight need for the MFin and how it will help him achieve his goals.

Applying just to MIT Sloan may not help him spread the risk; hence, it is imperative that he applies to additional schools.

Hope this helps!

All the best!
