Dawna Levenson, Assistant Dean of MIT Sloan School of Management, provides a thorough examination into the MIT Sloan School of Management's full-time MBA program, which is mission-driven, focused on identifying and solving the world's biggest and most complex problems. The program offers flexibility with a one-semester core and three semesters of electives, allowing students to pursue seven different certificates or concentrations. Dawna discusses the comprehensive application process, which includes a cover letter, one-page resume, 60-second video, and a behavioral video interview. She shares her tips on how to successfully approach the application. Dawna also highlights the early admission program for current college students and graduate students.
In this episode:
02:21 Dawna, welcome to Admissions Straight Talk.
02:06 Can you give an overview of MIT Sloan's full-time MBA program, focusing on its more distinctive elements?
03:51 Are the action labs like consulting projects?
04:48 You mentioned the fact that you have the one semester core, which is structured and the other three semesters are open and entirely elective. Is that correct?
05:02 Can you go into the certificates? Can students earn more than one certificate?
06:15 Are there any trends that you're seeing in terms of hiring Sloan grads? Where and when do the MBAs get their jobs?
07:53 You mentioned MIT is mission-driven. How does that mission influence admissions?
08:45 MIT Sloan is requiring a GMAT or GRE score and if the applicant submits the GMAT focus edition or receives a test waiver, MIT Sloan may not necessarily require the applicant to take the GMAC business writing assessment. What would cause you to request an applicant to take the BWA?
10:05 Is part of the reason for the business writing assessment if you suspect the essay was written by AI?
11:52 MIT Sloan has some really distinctive elements in this application. Could you tell us what you hope to glean from the cover letter?
13:34 Why are there two videos?
15:12 Is the interview by invitation only?

17:12 What's the most common mistake you see applicants make on the MIT Sloan application?

20:18 What percentage of the class today is from MBA Early?
20:30 Is the overall acceptance rate of MBA Early pretty similar to the full-time MBA program?
21:33 What would you advise somebody thinking ahead to a 2025 or 2026 application? In other words, planning to apply in a year or two years?
22:33 What would you have liked me to ask you?
