Just a heads up for any future R2 admits, I was able to successfully renegotiate with MIT Sloan after a R1 admit with no scholarship money to now get $50k in total over the 2 years. If you are re-negotiating though, you will need a strong counter offer from a rival/peer school to turn their heads.

If a person is rejected by hbs,Wharton,Cbs,booth, should he expect anything from mit?

What does mit see in the profile? They haven’t asked for any essay and I don’t think anyone can shortlist candidates from a cover letter(300 words) and a video essay. Will GRE/gmat score play vital role for mit selection more than any other m7?

I think that would be a struggle. Schools will only offer money to candidates they admit that they 'know' they will lose in a cross-admit battle. Also, schools always admit more candidates than they have room in their class for as a buffer for cross-admits being lost to other schools.

Here is some data on cross-admits: https://www.reddit.com/r/MBA/comments/o ... k_to_2016/

So taking the above data as a hypothetical, MIT will likely throw more money to a candidate with admits to both MIT and Wharton than to one who has admits to MIT and Booth. I haven't gone through the data but my gut feel is that the cross admit battle between Duke/Yale is heavily skewed towards MIT. So there is little incentive for MIT to throw many at candidates with admits to both MIT and Yale/Duke, as usually the only way a candidate would go to Yale/Duke over MIT is if Yale/Duke offers significant $$$. Which is not super common.

In my research, I found that MIT puts a lot of weight on the saying "past performance is the best predictor of future success" so they over index on your previous achievements and impact (which to some extent includes the GMAT/GRE).

And they pretty much have all they need to know your past performance. Your resume, a corroborating LoR, and a cover letter help to illustrate that. The video essay adds some colour to your profile by letting them know who you are and that you're a nice person (hopefully). The GMAT is a past performance indicator of managing MIT's program. They've said in many admissions events that they know people change their minds and their careers once they get to business school because MIT knows that people only really know what they want when they see the resources available to them. So they don't ask for an essay on what you intend to do post-MBA. They know that if you're a top performer now, you will likely be a top performer in 2 years time, but now equipped with an MIT MBA

This is a great summary of their admissions philosophy and how that ties with materials. Dawna told my candidate in the interview she wanted to see proof of intelligence/academic success, demonstrated leadership and likeability (I think she actually said not an a$$hole).

Hey, thank you for sharing this- it’s quite insightful.
How do you think MIT is accounting for folks applying with a GMAT waiver, then?
