Mr. MBB Transformation

Hi, this is JP, Senior Consultant at The MBA Exchange. Having successfully helped many applicants to MIT Sloan, I can say with confidence that you have the potential to gain a seat into the program. There is a big caveat: you must gain a very strong understanding of what the school’s admissions committee wants to know about you, particularly as it pertains to your professional background. There is a very specific way to approach an MIT application.
For many of the other top programs, you success will hinge upon your ability to devise a genuine, inspired long-term career plan, then tying it to the schools’ specific resources. This means introspection AND research.
In both cases, you can save a lot of time and effort with expert guidance. There are proven strategies to achieve what I’ve laid out above. If you want to have a chat or have a fuller evaluation of your candidacy, email me at jpo@mbaexchange.com.

Hi Mr. MBB Transformation! This is Kate Richardson, Senior Admissions Consultant. Initially, I thought your 2 years of experience might be too low, but you’ve clearly been on a fast track with 2 promotions, so I think that should mitigate that concern. But just in case, try to have your LOR writer emphasize traits like maturity, professionalism, above average leadership qualities, etc. Although your GPA is a bit below Sloan’s 3.6 average, coming from a quantitative major should help, plus your above average GMAT score. Well done! Sloan doesn’t emphasize as much on the post-MBA goals as some other schools, but your goals seem reasonable. For other schools, I’d want to dig in more to your long term interests, and how you see yourself applying those consulting skills. Sloan has a lower acceptance rate than many expect (11.5%) but I still think you have a good shot if you execute a strong application and get to know their community before you apply. Good luck!
