sant13osh : Based on those statistics alone, you stand a chance to get an interview! There are no red flags or any components that are blatantly disqualifying. The key for MIT Sloan candidates such as yourself who come from competitive demographics is finding a way to stick out from the pack. That must come through in your CV/resume, cover letter (MIT-specific) and video essay. You must define your individual brand for the AdCom. MIT is very hard to get into and showing how you bring meaningful diversity to your class is paramount. We work with MIT Sloan candidates repeatedly and would be happy to help you out if you think a professional consultant could be of assistance.

Hi,

It's hard to tell your chances based on these figures alone. As you understand, these are highlights of your CV but what a B-school looks at is your entire profile holistically.

You have not provided any pieces of evidence here on your interests, career achievements, motivations, etc. You have a good GMAT score, your academic score is decent, work experience is acceptable. However, none of these tell the story of who you are and why you deserve an admit.

MIT Sloan is an extremely difficult B-school to crack so you need to have a very legit argument over why you are a good fit for the program. You need to align your career story with the program's ideals and offerings and provide the B-school with enough value addition to select you over others.

Depends on how desirable you are to MIT. The stats are good, but they will not differentiate you. How do you prove yourself as desirable to MIT?

MIT wants achievers
leaders of the future
who share MITs values of inventiveness, innovation, creativity
are driven by a purpose (they don't ask for career goals) but the purpose reflects through the stories you write
make a good impression through the video essay (we constantly see applicants putting this together just before pressing submit- don't do that)
this is above the usual things expected from applicants- stellar recos, resume, career progression etc.
