MIT Sloan’s Early Admission application 2025 is now open.
Like most other deferred programs, MIT Sloan only has one application deadline, and in 2025 it is April 18, 2025.
MIT Sloan Early Admission Cover Letter:
Please submit a cover letter seeking a place in the Sloan MIT MBA program. Your letter should conform to a standard business correspondence, include one or more professional examples that illustrate why you meet the desired criteria above, and be addressed to the Admissions Committee (300 words or fewer, excluding address and salutation).
MIT Sloan’s early admission application mirrors its full-time application, requiring candidates to write a cover letter. The good news is that you probably have already written a cover letter to apply to an internship or full-time job. Your MIT cover letter should follow the same model; however, instead of asking for a particular role, you are asking for a spot in the MIT Sloan community.
To start this cover letter, take the time to think about your most significant accomplishments and what you will uniquely add to the Sloan community.
As with any strong cover letter, focus on a few highlights. This is not the time to repeat your resume (the admissions committee will already have that). These highlights could be a unique project you worked on during an internship, a leadership role you had on campus or in your community that you are particularly proud of, entrepreneurial pursuits, significant research you have conducted or perhaps rewarding volunteer work you have completed.
Consider MIT’s values as you select the most compelling highlights to cover in this letter. MIT is particularly interested in applicants who have exhibited innovative thinking.
Finally, be sure to include how you will leverage these experiences to add value to the MIT Sloan community.
MIT Sloan Short Answer Question
The Admissions Committee is excited to learn more about you and your background. In 250 words, please respond to the following short answer question: How has the world you come from shaped who you are today? For example, your family, culture, community, all help to shape aspects of your life experiences and perspective. Please use this opportunity to share more about your background.
MIT Sloan made this question required for deferred as well as full-time MBA applicants this year. This essay is an opportunity to share a bit about your background with the MIT Sloan admissions committee. To answer this short question, consider what makes you unique and who or what has been most influential for you. If you come from an unusual location or had a nontraditional upbringing, this is a great place to share it. However, if this does not describe you, do not worry. You might consider writing about family traditions, your heritage or even activities your family has enjoyed. There is no wrong answer to this question.
In addition, the MIT Sloan Early Admission application includes 2 video essays. These videos are also required of full-time MBA applicants. Check out this blog to find out more about the MIT Sloan videos and Personal MBA Coach’s tips for addressing them!
