MIT Sloan Q&A 2008

kokooli

Hi Guys, I have following questions:

1)MIT online application asks if you visit campus and attend other infomation sessions.Moreover if yes, also ask you to provide the date you go to campus and what event and which city you attend the sessions. why admission office asks these questions? these questions will have an impact on admission? BTW, I am in US, so for US guys, it is necessary to visit campus?

2)My undergraduate GPA is below 3, it is ok to apply for MIT? if MIT emphasizes previous academics?

Thank you very much for your answer!

1. I don't think the on-campus visit or information session will make a serious impact on your application. It's more of a reference for source of information. However, it also depends on where you are in the US. If you are in Boston, then you should visit Sloan if you can since it will be helpful for you to understand the school better.

2. This depends on your length of work experience. If you can come up with a good reason of low GPA, it's the best. One principle here is that the longer you work, the less influential this would be. If you don't have a good explanation, you can always make a twist by facing the low GPA directly and tell the adcom what you learn from that experience.

have a question regarding job placement.

what percentage sloaners go to VC after graduation?

Is it doable to leverage Harvard's resources when looking for job in VC/PE?

thank you!

Hi, Steve,

I sumbitted my Sloan R1 app. I'm in Boston. I know the end of the semester is approaching and you must be getting busier. I was wondering whether we can meet at a time convenient to you.

Thanks,

有人了解MIT Sloan Fellow Program吗？MIT Sloan Fellow Program in Innovation and Global Leadership

http://mitsloan.mit.edu/fellows/index.php

有人对这个program了解吗？看上去像EMBA，但是有好像不是EMBA，是个1年的MBA。
不知道他们从哪里得到我的信息。 给我发EMAIL让我申请。但是对这个program不太了解，觉得不像正经的MBA啊。学费倒是真贵啊。
