Hi Mr. Healthtech Consultant, Kristen from MBA Prep School here. As a former MIT Sloan adcom, I felt compelled to comment on your profile. You definitely check a lot of boxes for Sloan: stellar GMAT, solid GPA in engineering, career progression at a multinational firm, and an interest in health tech and finance (Cambridge is the place to be)!

Why is this the way in which you see yourself making an impact on healthcare? What skills do you already possess that have prepared you for it? Your story will be very important here, and based on Sloan’s application history you will have very limited space to tell it, so you will need to choose wisely. if you do this well, I think you have a very realistic chance at Sloan. You also might consider Kellogg as an option. Please feel free to reach if you would like to chat more about how to position yourself for MIT and beyond!
