Cover Letter Question: Please submit a cover letter seeking a place in the MIT Sloan MBA program. Your letter should conform to standard business correspondence, include one or more professional examples that illustrate why you meet the desired criteria above, and be addressed to the Admissions Committee (300 words or fewer, excluding address and salutation).
Short Answer Question: How has the world you come from shaped who you are today? For example, your family, culture, community, all help to shape aspects of your identity. Please use this opportunity if you would like to share more about your background. (250 words or less.)
Video Questions
Question 1: Introduce yourself to your future classmates. Here’s your chance to put a face with a name, let your personality shine through, be conversational, be yourself. We can’t wait to meet you!
Question 2: All MBA applicants will be prompted to respond to a randomly generated, open-ended question. The question is designed to help us get to know you better; to see how you express yourself and to assess fit with the MIT Sloan culture. It does not require prior preparation.
Video Question 2 is part of your required application materials and will appear as a page within the application, once the other parts of your application are completed. Applicants are given 10 seconds to prepare for a 60-second response.
The following are examples of questions that may be asked in the Video Question 2:
• What achievement are you most proud of and why?
• Tell us about a time a classmate or colleague wasn’t contributing to a group project. What did you do?
On September 17, another On the Road event will take place in Milan with the same format. The MBA Class Visit Program on September 22 will provide a campus-based class visit, admissions session, and lunch, with special programming focused on student clubs and community culture. Finally, on September 26, Sloan will host the MBA and LGO On-Campus Information Session, where admissions will provide a detailed overview of the program’s curriculum, student life, career opportunities, and admissions process.

It is easy to comment, but it is tough to structure the essay from the perspective of the applicant and turn the essay into a winning application essay.
3) Aligning with the Culture of the School
A big part of editing and guiding applicants is in educating them about the culture of the school
Some schools have very ‘specific’ traits that they are looking for in an applicant.
If you don’t highlight them and lean towards general leadership or cultural narratives, the essay won’t work.
I will guide you through the writing process.
I will also iteratively edit the essays without losing your original voice.
Virtual Events
The virtual events include an MBA Application Tips Webinar on September 17, where the admissions team will provide guidance on the application process and host a live Q&A.
On September 18, a Community and Culture at MIT Sloan Panel will feature Hispanic and Latinx/e students and alumni sharing personal experiences and perspectives on Sloan’s inclusive community.
The Virtual Forté MBA Forum on September 24 will connect prospective students with insights about Sloan through the larger Forté platform.
Finally, on September 25, another Community and Culture Panel will highlight the experiences of veteran students and alumni, offering perspectives relevant to military applicants but open to all.
