Accountant with a Unique Patent: MIT Sloan MBA Introduce Yourself Video Essay

Q) MIT Sloan MBA Video Essay: 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! (60 seconds)

Background Information: A Chartered Account fascinated with AI automation mimics his professional experience to help low-income households balance their economic, physical, and psychological well-being.

Theme: Innovation, Entrepreneurial Thinking

Theme (Explained): Entrepreneurial thinking and innovation also mean transferring the knowledge acquired from one function to another. 

Profile: Accountant

Industry: Technology, Non-Profit

MBA Video Essay Script Strategy: Fascinated with what cleverly designed processes and technology could do, the applicant translated the knowledge to his start-up – a venture that measures the progress of low-income households’ well-being - economically, physically, and psychologically. 

MIT Sloan’s Entrepreneurship track would help the applicant scale the idea to new markets and, during the process, build allies to his vision – “equitable access to information.”

Video statements from entrepreneurial applicants should primarily focus on their passion for the venture they plan to scale or start at MIT. 

Opener: Starting with the origin of the passion for the venture is the best way to demonstrate motivation.
