Experience during the program

The first semester at MIT Sloan School of Management exceeded my initial expectations. What I valued the most of these first 6 months is the people I met. Everyone is extremely collaborative and supportive. If applying to consulting, there is a great community of both first and second years that will dedicate a lot of time to helping others. Another thing I loved is the innovative and technology driven culture. There is always something new going on around campus and most things are free for every student to access. One suggestion I would make to future applicants is to talk to many people from the schools you are applying. It is better to find your perfect fit than to drive your applications by the rankings.

The center was not in the best condition. When I got to the center on a Monday for the GMAT Exam, I found out that they had been painting the whole weekend. Most computers were not ready, and were still covered with a plastic. The smell of fresh paint was so fresh that after the exam I had a very bad headache. The people, however, was very friendly through the whole exam. Headphones were adequate and prevented most outside noises be heard. The location of the test center is very convenient and central, with many buses and trains dropping you off at a very short walking distance.
