MIT Sloan MBA Strategy for 2021-2022: How to Tackle the Application Jun 30, 08:54 AM Comments [0] MIT Sloan just released deadlines for the Class of 2024, with round one set for Sept. 28, 2021, round two for Jan. 19, 2022, and round three on April 12, 2022. And while the application won’t be open until mid-July, MIT Sloan affirms that its application components remain the same. Its MBA application typifies the institution’s innovation ethos and forgoes the norms of its M7 peers. It’s a beast of an application, and tackling it successfully requires a different strategy than any other program. The usual materials requested by the majority of business schools include the application biodata, a one-page resume, essays and typically two letters of recommendation. Alternatively, the school doesn’t require you to write a ‘Why MIT’ essay, nor will it let you get by with repurposing your standard MBA resume. Instead, prospective students are asked to capture and create several materials that no other school is asking for, like an MIT Sloan cover letter.
