You have a lot going for you but unfortunately I think MIT Sloan will pass on this story. Here’s why: As a female engineer from India, you are in a super competitive part of the elite MBA applicant pool, even though you have chosen the field of education.

You have a lot going for you but unfortunately I think MIT Sloan will pass on this story.

While there is little doubt that you have an excellent track record professionally, you will be competing with other female engineers from India who have better standardized test scores and undergraduate grades. There are, however, many other excellent MBA options out there that would allow you to achieve your goals. You need to explore alternatives in addition to taking your chances with MIT Sloan. I suggest a strategy of applying to six schools with three being somewhat safe choices and two being just below MIT in rank. I would look hard at Duke, UNC, Michigan, and UVA Darden, and Indiana Kelley and possibly Michigan State, given your supply chain interests. Good luck to you.
