Recommendations

Do you have recommendation forms?
No, the individuals writing recommendation letters for you should mail the letters directly to the MSMS Program Office in the program office.

Should my recommendation be from work or from a professor?
The most useful recommendations are those from individuals who are able to speak with certainty about your professional and academic achievements and potential. Two letters should be from your professors and one letter should be from your work supervisor or someone in a position to judge your professional performance.

GMAT

What is the MIT Sloan MSMS Program code for the GMAT?
It is X5X-QS-24.

Is there a minimum GMAT score required?
No, MIT Sloan does not require a minimum GMAT score.

What is your average GMAT?
These scores are not available since 2009-2010 will be the inaugural year for this degree.

How long are GMAT scores valid?
GMAT scores are valid for five years.

What is the last date on which I can take the GMAT?
The GMAT can be taken up to the last day of the application deadline and be self-reported on the application.

I recently took my GMAT and will not receive the AWA score for another four weeks. Can I submit my application without the AWA score?
Yes, you may submit the electronic application without reporting the AWA score.

Can my GRE score take the place of the GMAT?
Yes, the MS in Management Studies program will accept the GRE in lieu of the GMAT. The MIT Sloan MSMS Program code for the GRE is 3935.

Do you average GMAT scores if I've taken the test more than once?
No. If you have taken the GMAT more than once, you should use the highest of the scores. We will consider the test score that you have indicated on your application to be your highest score.

Can you confirm receipt of my GMAT score?
No, we cannot confirm receipt of your GMAT score. Please check with GMAC to confirm that you have designated the MIT Sloan MSMS Program code (X5X-QS-24) to receive your scores.

Where can I get more information on the GMAT?
You may visit the MBA.com for more information on the GMAT, including sample questions and information on registration.

Admissions Information

Who can apply to the M.S. in Management Studies program?
Top business school students who have completed or are completing non-U.S. MBA or equivalent degree programs (applicants will need to have finished their first year of MBA or equivalent degree before entering this program) should apply to this program. Preference will be given to applicants from international business schools with established collaboration with MIT Sloan.

Are some parts of the application weighted more than others?
No single characteristic in the application is more important than any other. An area of weakness — for example, a low score on the GMAT — may be successfully offset by strengths in other areas.

What is the application deadline?
The application is due 12 noon Pacific Standard Time (2000 Greenwich Time) on Thursday, January 15, 2009.

Qualifications/Criteria

What are the general criteria and desired qualifications for admission?

General Criteria
We look for students whose personal characteristics suggest that they will make the most of the opportunities at MIT, both in academic and non-academic areas. We also seek those whose presence will enhance the experience of other students. Therefore, we value characteristics such as motivation, involvement, interpersonal skills, communication skills, leadership, analytical skills, and tolerance of uncertainty.

Desired Qualifications
The Admissions Committee looks for excellence — applicants with high academic potential and achievement, and strong motivation and leadership potential. High academic potential and achievement are normally reflected in high GMAT scores, excellent academic records, and recommendations that go beyond the usual polite endorsement. Ability to achieve is usually shown in recommendations, your essay, and relevant experience.

Do I need work experience to apply?
No. While work experience is not a requirement for admission, some experience is helpful to get the most out of the MIT Sloan experience. People who already have a framework against which to apply their education and to understand workplace issues generally are able to get more out of the program and contribute to classroom discussions.

Visits/Interviews

What is the policy for visiting the MIT Sloan?
You are always welcome to visit the School. Contact the program office about your intended visit and we'll schedule classroom visits.

How do I get to the MIT Sloan? Where should I stay?
Directions to MIT Sloan
Hotels and accommodations

What is the interview policy?
We will selectively interview individuals who submit an application to the M.S. in Management Studies program. These interviews will be by invitation and at our initiative only; not all applicants will be interviewed.

Costs

What is the tuition and cost breakdown?
The 2009-2010 tuition for incoming students is $52,000 plus applicable fees. Additional costs for housing, food, medical insurance, books, and personal expenses can be approximately $30,000 for a single student but may vary significantly depending on lifestyle and other personal considerations.

Curriculum

What subjects/areas of study are offered at MIT Sloan?
A list of courses offered at the MIT Sloan is available on the MIT Web pages. You should also visit our Curriculum pages for a description of our curriculum and the four sample areas of concentration.

What are the degree requirements for the M.S. in Management Studies Program?
Students spend two academic terms in residence and must meet the Institute's requirement of a minimum of 66 units of graduate level credit, including at least 42 H-level units. Students also must complete a Master's thesis (24 units) in their concentration. Most MIT Sloan subjects range from 3 to 12 units based on an approximation of weekly class hours, lab or thesis units, and outside preparation time.

Can I count credits I've taken at my home institution toward this M.S. in Management Studies degree?
No, you cannot count transfer credits toward the MIT degree

What is the teaching style for professors at MIT Sloan?
MIT Sloan faculty employ a variety of teaching methods, including lecture, case study, team projects, writings, problem sets, presentations, company visits, guest speakers, and other theoretical and applied teaching methods. The teaching method used in a class is the choice of the individual professor and is chosen to best facilitate learning for that subject matter.

What is the average class size?
Elective subjects typically have 25 to 60 students (although a few number as high as 90), and seminars may have even fewer students. Your Master's thesis work will be an individual endeavor with the guidance of your thesis advisor.

Student Life

How many students does the program plan to accept?
Because of the special nature of the program and the relationships between MIT Sloan and the partner schools, we intend to keep the number to a dozen or so highly qualified, international students.

What student clubs exist at MIT Sloan? What if I want to start a new club?
Each year there are about 70 student organizations and clubs at MIT Sloan. The clubs sponsor events, invite and host speakers, and conduct forums. There are also intramural sports teams which compete within the MIT intramural system, as well as against other MBA programs in the northeast and nationally. If there is an area that interests you, but is not represented through a student organization, we encourage you to start one.

Where do most students live?
Most MIT Sloan students choose to live off campus. The MIT Off-Campus Housing Office is an excellent resource for locating possibilities. Affordable housing can be found close to the campus and near the public transportation system.

On-campus housing is also available. Demand exceeds supply, so a lottery system is used to allocate both the single student and married student housing units.

Career Development

Can I use the resources of the Career Development Office (CDO)?
Yes, the services of the CDO will be available to students in the M.S. in Management Studies program.
