Hi All,
MIT Sloan has the last question as : "You may use this section to address whatever else you want the Admissions Committee to know."
I am really confused about this. I have made a significant contribution to the NGO I work for. I have not been able to accommodate this in the 3 mandatory essays wherein I have significant accomplishments to talk about from my work place.
Will the optional essay be the right place to talk about the difference I created for my NGO?? Admissions committee members during a chat session were hinting that optional essay section can be a good section to talk about your extracurricular activities. But on multiple forums (including on same pages of BTG) admissions consultants say that this essay should be used only for some weakness (gmat/acads) etc. and NOT use it for an additional essay.
PLEASE HELP!! Have only 24 hours to submit (have already written out everything, the question is whether to use the optional essay or not)!!
