MIT Sloan seeks students whose personal characteristics demonstrate that they will make the most of the incredible opportunities at MIT, both academic and non-academic. We are on a quest to find those whose presence will enhance the experience of other students. We seek thoughtful leaders with exceptional intellectual abilities and the drive and determination to put their stamp on the world. We welcome people who are independent, authentic, and fearlessly creative — true doers. We want people who can redefine solutions to conventional problems, and strive to preempt unconventional dilemmas with cutting-edge ideas. We demand integrity and respect passion.
Taking the above into consideration, please submit a cover letter seeking a place in the MIT Sloan MBA program. Your letter should conform to a standard business correspondence, include one or more professional examples that illustrate why you meet the desired criteria above, and be addressed to the Admissions Committee (300 words or fewer, excluding address and salutation).

1. Cover Letter

MIT Sloan seeks students whose personal characteristics demonstrate that they will make the most of the incredible opportunities at MIT, both academic and non-academic. We are on a quest to find those whose presence will enhance the experience of other students. We seek thoughtful leaders with exceptional intellectual abilities and the drive and determination to put their stamp on the world. We welcome people who are independent, authentic, and fearlessly creative — true doers. We want people who can redefine solutions to conventional problems, and strive to preempt unconventional dilemmas with cutting-edge ideas. We demand integrity and respect passion.
Taking the above into consideration, please submit a cover letter seeking a place in the MIT Sloan MBA program. Your letter should conform to a standard business correspondence, include one or more professional examples that illustrate why you meet the desired criteria above, and be addressed to the Admissions Committee (300 words or fewer, excluding address and salutation).

MIT要求申请者以求职信的形式介绍自己,这封信最关键的核心是要体现出你与学校的契合度。具体来说,就是要展现你思虑深远的领导力、行动力、打破常规的创新能力等Sloan欣赏的品质。同时也要表达你为何选择Sloan,你的目标愿景如何契合学校理念。

写作上,我建议你这样几个部分展开:

Part 1:开门见山,向Ad Com表达你对Sloan MBA的向往之情,点明你最核心的一两个品质,吸引他们继续阅读。

Part 2:选取1-2个最能体现你的领导力、行动力、创新力的经历,通过STAR法则(situation, task, action, result)详细描述。你可以考虑这几个角度:

利用专业知识和前瞻性思考,为公司带来实质性变革的例子(thoughtful leader);
你主动挑战现状,用创新方案解决棘手问题的经历(unconventional innovator);
你身先士卒,带领团队突破困境、创造佳绩的故事(action-oriented doer)。
通过具体的案例阐述和细节描写,让Ad Com感受到你的leadership、创新精神和行动力是如何创造Impact的。

Part 3:分享你选择Sloan的原因。展现你对学校的了解,有针对性地谈及你希望参与的课程、项目,表达你的职业目标与Sloan理念的契合,让Ad Com看到一个明确的发展愿景。

Part 4:再次强调你何以是最佳人选。你独特的背景、技能、视角将如何为Sloan这个多元社区带来独特贡献。表达成为Sloan社区一员的诚挚渴望。

Part 5:简洁有力的结尾,再次点题,让Ad Com记住你最闪光的特质。



Video Essay 1:

Introduce yourself to your future classmates. Here’s your chance to put a face with a name, let your personality shine through, be conversational, be yourself. We can’t wait to meet you!

Videos should adhere to the following guidelines:

No more than 1 minute (60 second) in length

Single take (no editing)

Speaking directly to the camera

Do not include background music or subtitles

Note: While we ask you to introduce yourself to your future classmates in this video, the video will not be shared beyond the admissions committee and is for use in the application process only.

第一个问题要求你向未来同学做自我介绍。这里最关键的是要给人留下深刻印象,让大家感受到你鲜明的个性和特质。（大家可以看YouTube上面的视频，上面有很多非常好且具启发的介绍）

思路上我建议:

争取一开始就抛出一个吸引人的点,激发大家的好奇心。比如用一个你最难忘的经历开场,或分享一个鲜为人知但很能体现你特点的爱好。
简单分享你的背景,但避免流于简历式的罗列,而是挑1-2个最能反映你特点的经历,稍作展开。比如你的创业经验如何锻炼了你的领导力,或一次有挑战的项目如何让你爱上用创新解决问题。
分享一些课堂外的趣事,展现你丰富的业余生活和热情,比如一项你热衷的运动,一个有意义的志愿者经历,或一次有趣的旅行。
比如自弹自唱一段歌曲，我有一个朋友就把自己的故事融入到音乐之声的《My Favourite Things》
表达你期待在Sloan遇到志同道合的伙伴,分享你独特的经验,并向大家学习。让大家感受到你的真诚和热情。
尽量配合内容选取拍摄场景,比如在篮球场、创客空间或充满回忆的校园一角等。适度使用小道具,为视频增色不少。当然我也有见到过疫情期在家里的。也不用太纠结太特殊的场景，想让你未来的同学们和AO记住你是谁。
总之这个视频的重点是要突出你的与众不同之处,用轻松真诚的方式展现你的个人魅力,而非正式的自我介绍。和Cover Letter相比,内容上避免重复,形式上则更加生动有趣。目的是让大家记住你这个有意思的人,想要进一步结识你。



Video Essay 2:

All MBA applicants will be prompted to respond to a randomly generated, open-ended question. The question is designed to help us get to know you better; to see how you express yourself and to assess fit with the MIT Sloan culture. It does not require prior preparation.

Video Essay 2 is part of your required application materials and will appear as a page within the application, once the other parts of your application are completed. Applicants are given 10 seconds to prepare for a 60-second response.

The following are examples of questions that may be asked in the Video Question 2: What achievement are you most proud of and why? Tell us about a time a classmate or colleague wasn’t contributing to a group project. What did you do?

60秒的快问快答主要考察临场发挥能力。备考重点是:

准备几个你作为leader、innovator、team player的经典案例,每个用60秒左右的时间讲述,突出你的特质、行动和结果。
熟悉STAR法则作答,即situation(背景)-task(任务)-action(行动)-result(结果),掌握在60秒内讲述的要领。开头交代背景,重点放在你的具体行动和结果上,体现你的思考和特质。
在有限时间内,开头简述背景,主要着墨你的独特之处,如创新的解决思路,领导团队的策略,化解矛盾的办法等,再强调你的行动带来的影响。
