要死了,才发现sloan的题目要求过去一两年的经历

cicilla

看大家争论的没有结果啊，我多事了一把（我不申请MIT,呵呵）。给学校发了一个email，措辞不是偏向“有点抱怨”。学校回复如下：

Thank you for your interest in the MIT Sloan School of Management.  The admissions committee highly recommends to stay within the two year time frame.  The decision is yours to make ultimately, but there is also a supplemental information section to add any additional information that you feel will help the admissions staff get to know you better.

看样子有那么一篇左右不是两年内的应该问题不大。

各位好运！

I asked this question on the forum of BusinessWeek->forums->ask B school essays. The thread holder seems very NN.

His answer is item 1619.

From:  T_Huebner   11:32 am  
To:  crossroad10 unread  (1619 of 1621)  

36873.1619 in reply to 36873.1611  

just noticed that the MIT Sloan asks that the stories in the essay
have to happen in the past one or two years. If I have a better one
which happened more than 2 years ago, do you think it is ok, or the
committee will think I do not follow the instruction and ding?
You can find this limitation only when you apply online and login
and go to essay part. They did not mention it on the public web.

Thanks for your help.

In this case, it's okay to use stories that are older if those are the best examples you have. That's because, as you noted, the instructions about more recent events aren't anywhere obvious or prominent - even on Sloan's own page of instructions, there's absolutely no mention of this. I've spoken with my contacts within Sloan who have also said that due to the lack of clarity around this, it's not considered fair to enforce it and so it's not something that they'll be rigorous about. Bottom line, don't worry about it.

Hope the last post will make IDAISY MM sleep well.

Another question about Sloan: it seems that the supplemental information section doesn't have word limit. Anyone has any suggestion on how long it should be?

The admissions committee highly recommends to stay within the two year time frame

我觉得这句话挺重要。呵呵。

老外说话都这样，只能用good的事情,他们会用great,perfect,fabulous。不用suggest,用highly recommend。一个道理。

我觉得这是一个respect游戏规则和respect adcom的问题.

相信一定会有人写了很早的story,最后也被录取的.但是不遵守游戏规则,好的故事也一定会被打个折扣.

MIT的意思很明显:你可以自己做judgement,老故事哪怕打了折扣还是比最近的故事好,那就用呗.
