Hello maihuna, Unfortunately, I'm not able to give very useful feedback on the strength of an application. I'm not affiliated with the admissions office in any way, so my guesses about admissions would not be any better than anyone else's. I do think that, if there is an essay question on the applic...

Hi lav01, I'm glad to be able to provide some help. I remember really appreciating information from students when I was applying. As far as your question about the GMAT/GRE: the website says that the GRE is required if you are applying through the engineering school. If applying through Sloan, you c...

Mohit, Yesterday was our final day of orientation. All 400+ Sloanies are all here now. Towards the end, one of the other students mentioned that the class seems to demonstrate "excellence without ego". That's probably the best, concise description I've heard of the class. Everyone I've met...

Mohit, It's great to hear about your interest in the program. Leadership education is something that the LGO program has tried to develop for years. Starting off, we spend the entire first week in a short-course on leadership. That culminates in an off-site "field trip" to observe how we'v...

bm2012, I suppose my perception of MIT was that it was a top MBA school that had the added bonus of the technical resources that couldn't be matched anywhere else. The sense of innovation here as well as the program's emphasis on leadership were very important to me. Since coming here and attending ...

bm2012, Your career plan seems well thought out to me. MIT Sloan has a strong supply chain component, including the study of System Dynamics, which was originated at MIT. There are also several opportunities to work in an emerging nation as a student through things like the Global Entrepreneurship L...
