Mr. Contituent Service – thanks for posting your profile. Susan Cera here from Stratus.

As you likely know, MIT Sloan has one of the lowest admit rates of all MBA programs – at ~12-13%. They are very selective!

I really like that you worked 80 hours a week to pay for university. This says a lot about your resilience and grit. I also like your creativity and self-discipline in figuring out how to engage with constituents in meaningful ways and leverage social media.

Absent a test score (and assuming that you didn’t have a lot of quant/analytical experience in college since you studied Political Science), I don’t see you being super competitive at MIT. MIT is going to want to see evidence that you are capable of handling the rigor of their program.

Your goals are a bit vague but that is okay for MIT. They presume that if you have been successful in endeavors to date, you will be successful at whatever you choose to pursue moving foward.

Good luck!
