标题: MIT Sloan MS in Management Studies students taking questions
Hi all,
We are current Chinese students from MIT Sloan's MS in Management Studies (MSMS) program. It is a brand new program, only in its second year. It's different from traditional MBA programs, but it can be the best fit for you depending on your specific background and goals. We are ready to take any questions here, and our program administrators have kindly offered to help if there are questions that we can't answer.

Program Overview (from program website)
The new Master of Science in Management Studies (MSMS) program at MIT Sloan offers the opportunity for talented students from around the world to enhance their expertise in a chosen concentration within management studies. This rigorous program accepts top MBA or equivalent degree students from non-U.S. business schools to study a specific field in depth while working alongside world-renowned MIT Sloan faculty. The end result is a Master of Science degree from MIT Sloan in just two semesters.
Participants in this program will take classes and write a thesis in their chosen concentration subject. Participants enroll in regular MIT Sloan elective classes and can take classes in other MIT departments or at Harvard University. Upon graduation, participants will join the ranks of MIT alumni and be able to tap into its rich and resourceful international network.

Program Highlights
- It's shorter. It is only 9-month long and therefore can be very attractive for people who have already done a master's degree from a non-US business school or an MBA and feel reluctant to spend another two years in school.
- It's highly flexible. You can choose to take almost any Sloan MBA elective you want as well as almost any course offered by MIT and Harvard. You can make it whatever program you want.
- You have the opportunity to concentrate on a certain area by taking relevant courses and writing a thesis on that subject. It's completely up to you as to the concentration and the thesis subject.

Student Body
- Very diversified student body. This year the 20 MSMS students are of 14 nationalities.
- Six Chinese Mandarin speakers, of which four have foreign passports and applied as international MBA students at Tsinghua (Sloan partner school), one applied from an Australian university (not a partner school of Sloan), and the other come directly from work (did a master degree from a non-partner school of Sloan in China years ago)
- Most people have work experience, while some don't

Placement
- Students have the same access to Career Services as MBA students, and this year the class even has a dedicated career advisor
- Last year some people stayed in US while some go back to where they come from
- Of the two Chinese passport holders from last year, one stayed in US for consulting, and the other came back to Shanghai for consulting

Application
- The requirements are a little different from those of a typical MBA program. Please check last year's requirement carefully at http://mitsloan.mit.edu/academic/msms/checklist.php, and remember to check for updates for this year's application
- For people with a non-MBA master degree from a business school, it's sometimes more difficult to determine the eligibility. Feel free to ask the program administers at http://mitsloan.mit.edu/academic/msms/questions.php, they are extremely helpful.

Please let us know if you have any question regarding the program

Dear Morespring,

Thanks for your introduction.
My question is, for candidate who does not have an MBA degree but an MSc degree in real estate, Is it possible for Sloan to give me a conditional offer?
I'll finish the core courses before start of MSMS program in the next Sept. Does my suggestion work?

According to school website, MSMS is looking for non-US MBA or management-related Masters.

You are doing Masters at MIT in US. That doesn't make any sense.

Hi MITMSRED

I have forwarded your question to the Admin and will get back to you soon.

Hi supernewbie,

I am not quite sure I understand your concern. Could you elaborate it if you have any question? Thanks

请问phd可以申请这个项目吗

作者: morespring 时间: 2010-10-10 23:10
Hi MITMSRED,

The answer to your question depends very much on the details of your program. The admin suggested you to contact them directly.

Hi wkboy,

Nobody in the past two classes has a Phd degree. But I think you can argue you case with the Admin if you have a good reason to get a Master after a Phd and if you have taken the required courses.

怎么理解equivalent Master’s degree program啊，对于在国内取得的硕士学位范围和学科有要求吗，比如我有一个金融学硕士，可以申请吗

谢谢了

作者: morespring 时间: 2010-11-4 10:50
国内的金融学硕士一般是可以的，比如我就是。但具体还是咨询一下admin比较好。

作者: lvguoliang111 时间: 2010-11-4 11:46
谢谢诶，已咨询过，是可以的

想请教一下MSMS项目对于申请人硬件的要求，比如Working experience，GMAT，iBT等等的。谢谢LZ：）

像MBA项目一样，这个项目对工作经验、GMAT、IBT等都没有硬性的要求（至少是没有公开的要求）。同学非常多元化，背景差异很大，既有十几年工作经验的，也有没有工作经验的硕士，GMAT成绩也是千差万别（平均分是706）。另外IBT不要求（Sloan各项目都不要求），英语主要参考GMAT的Verbal部分以及面试表现。

因为我寒假会回北京，所以打算跟准备申请的同学一起喝个咖啡聊聊申请的事情以及这一学期来的体验。大概在12月底到1月初之间。有兴趣的同学给我留个Email吧，具体时间定了后通知你们。
