I’m an incoming sloan student who did not use a consultant. In my essay I wrote 90% about my past accomplishments with only a single sentence tying it to my future career post MBA. I think this is pretty common for sloan as my impression is that the adcoms don’t really care about your post mba goal.

Thank you! How do you use examples if your not from a quant /engineering background? Eg I studied business with a consulting background.
You may want to use a consultant who was a former Sloan AdCom (e.g., Lisa from Stratus) for this one since Sloan’s is a tricky one. I don’t know how much of the prompt has been modified, but you have to be able to exhibit the following:
- Concise, clear storytelling skills
- What value you bring to Sloan
- If you don’t have a STEM background, showcase your analytical or quant skills through an example
- Why Sloan (be specific)
- Why now for an MBA
- How all of the above tie into your journey towards your short term and long-term goal and what those goals are
I agree with most of this EXCEPT that Sloan does not ask (or care) about your goals. They are believers that past success is the best indicator of future success. Use your cover letter to showcase HOW you achieved success and tie it to how you will continue to learn and engage at Sloan.
Here's an article that Lisa (mentioned above) wrote on the topic - https://www.stratusadmissionscounseling.com/blog/tips-for-your-mit-sloan-application-essays/
Partner and I got in this year, we both focused on a few very specific professional examples from our work lives that embodies what Sloan looks for… I think the key for me was to focus on a quality examples rather than going too broad
Nope, regular full time mba
They care about part accomplishments, no need to go into detail about future plans (unlike other schools).
I worked with Greg at Avanti and give him substantial credit for my admittance. I focused entirely on two past accomplishments. Tried to use it as an opportunity to round out other parts of my application by showcasing particular strengths of mine that were not as obvious elsewhere. Try to be very detailed about ‘how’ you did things. They don’t care about post mba goals.
