writing+editing support review+edit evaluation brainstorming mock interview recos mba resume First get the basic principles right and then move on to the Sloan essay tips for the 2010-2011 application. An similar set of essays from MIT Sloan as last year, except for the new convincing a group/individual essay. Do take the instructions from the Sloan admissions committee to heart: "We are interested in learning more about you and how you work, think, and act. For each essay, please provide a brief overview of the situation followed by a detailed description of your response. Please limit the experiences you discuss to those which have occurred in the past three years." Sloan has retained a three year time-frame from which the stories can be chosen - since increasing it from two years in 2008. While a five year period would have been welcome, even this seemingly small expansion, would considerably widen the scope of choice for most applicants. Sloan MIT Cover Letter Prepare a cover letter (up to 500 words) seeking a place in the MIT Sloan MBA Program. Describe your accomplishments and include an example of how you had an impact on a group or organization. Your letter should conform to standard business correspondence and be addressed to Mr. Rod Garcia, Director of MBA Admissions. Sloan MIT Cover Letter Tips Write a formal sales document in cover letter format which highlights your key achievements, includes a leadership or team impact example, explains why you should be admitted to MIT Sloan and also mentions why you are interested in Sloan MIT...gasp.. And yes, this will also act as your "goals essay" (unless you plan to use the fourth Sloan essay to that purpose). Now, what could be simpler?! The "impact on a group or organization" portion is new this year and tries to compensate for editing out last year's first Sloan essay question: "Please tell us about a time when you had an impact on a group or organization. Describe in detail what you thought, felt, said, and did." Since this is an all-purpose essay (oops.. cover letter) a holistic picture of your candidature needs to be presented. Choosing an "impact example" that merges with the overall theme of your cover letter content would help things. MIT Review: Rs.16000 : US$ 400 Sloan Review+Edit: Rs.30000 : US$ 750 Sloan Writing Support: Rs.40000 : US$ 1000 Sloan MIT Essay 1 Please describe a time when you went beyond what was defined, expected, established, or popular. (500 words or less, limited to one page) Sloan MIT Essay 1 Tips Try to identify an instance when you found yourself introducing an innovative concept, taking a principled yet unpopular stand, fighting popular opinion, or implementing an out-of-the-box solution. The context can be professional or personal. Give the context, rationale and motivations for your action, and make apparent why it should be considered "beyond what was defined, expected, established, or popular". Illustrate the path that led from your thought process to the action to the results. The positive changes made possible by your action would underline the strength of the story and your achievement. Ideally the example would showcase your strength of character, robust value system, innovation, reasoning ability and/or intellectual courage. Though is essay is the exact same as last year's, the response might be different because of the new essay # 2. The focus, this time, will have to be primarily (even exclusively) on the action and not on the persuasive skills since that is the designated focus in the very next essay. Like in all essay packages, but even more so in this Sloan application, make the final choice of the example keeping in mind the content, theme and examples you have picked for the other essays. Sloan MIT Essay 2 Please describe a time when you convinced an individual or group to accept one of your ideas. Sloan MIT Essay 2 Tips Choosing the appropriate story from your life is a key ingredient of success in all MBA "story" essays. Select a story for this one that shines a light on your ability to persuade, this essay could simultaneously showcase your leadership aptitude, people skills and emotional intelligence. The example should detail the context and rationale for your idea. It should also illustrate your approach in winning the opposition over to the idea - by understanding the opposition, communicating convincingly, clarifying ideas. Your leadership approach and the methodology you adopt would be critical to this essay's success. Ideally, this essay will showcase your diplomatic communication, persuasive skills, leadership and effective reasoning - AND end the story with overall consensus (everybody lives happily ever after!). Bear in mind that this is not a randomly selected trait. This story should act as a preview of how you might be able to persuade your classmates at Sloan or your colleagues in a post-Sloan scenario to accept an idea they are opposed to. Please ensure that the story differs thematically and in approach from the earlier essay, since persuasion and an unpopular stand are similar underlying themes in both essay questions. And lemme repeat: make the final choice of the example keeping in mind the content, theme and examples you have picked for the other essays. Go for it! MIT Review: Rs.16000 : US$ 400 Sloan Review+Edit: Rs.30000 : US$ 750 Sloan Writing Support: Rs.40000 : US$ 1000 Sloan MIT Essay 3 Please describe a time when you took responsibility for achieving an objective. (500 words or less, limited to one page) Sloan MIT Essay 3 Tips Once again a new essay prompt, it is similar to this question from 2008-2009 : "Please tell us about a time when you executed a plan." Describe in detail the process, actions and steps that you took to achieve your objective and to convert an idea on paper into tangible actuality. While you could achieve the objective individually, one in which you had a leadership role will almost always have greater value. In addition the initiative you took to grab this particular opportunity might be an added dimension in this essay. The heart of the essay would be your approach to executing ideas - how you visualize, manage, organize, plan, synchronize, and execute. Like in all the Hallmark Sloan essays the purpose is to judge your approach and attitude in a previous situation since that might be reflection of your manner and method in future situations (at Sloan and later) as well. Sloan Supplemental Information Essay You may use this section to address whatever else you want the Admissions Committee to know. Sloan Supplemental Information Essay Tips As usual an optional essay requires effort even if you don’t write it. The main question in any optional essay is to decide whether you need to write it at all. Attempt the Sloan MIT supplemental essay only if you feel that it will improve the factual and material strength of your application. Use this Sloan optional essay to explain shortfalls in your application which you feel are truly detrimental to your candidature. Areas of underperformance (academic or professional or GMAT) or events which stick out (gaps in your resumes or a previous MBA) can be commented on if you have an explanation that is intelligent, interesting and credible. One other situation when the Sloan MIT supplemental essay is acceptable is when you need to describe at length an strongly positive information that CANNOT be accommodated in the other Sloan essays. The essay does not have to be limited to a single theme or event. If you are certain that this new essay is a robust constructive addition to your candidacy, start working on it!
