MIT Sloan Program Overview
Known for its innovative spirit, the MIT Sloan MBA program focuses largely on action labs and experiential learning. Student involvement is high on campus, and analytical thinking is key to the Sloan experience.
During students’ first semester at MIT Sloan, also known as the core semester, they are grouped into six cohorts of students from diverse backgrounds. Each of these cohorts is then further divided into smaller teams. Throughout the semester, these teams and cohorts build strong networks and bonds with one another.
After this first semester, students have the freedom to create a program that meets their specific goals and needs, completing a total of 144 units of electives.
Like many business schools, a diverse student body is a key characteristic of the MIT Sloan MBA program, bringing a variety of ideas and perspectives into the classroom.
The average salary and bonus for the MIT Sloan full-time class of 2021 was $169,713, and 94.8% of students received job offers within three months of graduation.

I worked with Scott and his team for my MBA applications this year. I had a great experience and have received offers from the Kellogg MBAi program, and full-time MBA programs at Haas, Ross, and Tepper (with $40K).
It was great working with the team. I felt that their understanding of what different schools are looking for is extremely thorough. We started out by shortlisting the schools that would be best aligned with my goals and experience. We then worked on my goal statement and CV, before moving on to the recommendations and essays.
The process was very detailed yet we moved fast. We did several iterations on each element till we were satisfied. The platform used to collaborate on these materials was very streamlined. I would always receive feedback within a day. In fact with the time difference, I would put in my drafts late-night IST and receive feedback by the time I woke up!
Overall, I had a great experience and would highly recommend Personal MBA Coach.
