Admission & Application Survey
Full Time MBA Program Sloan's admissions process involves submitting 5 essays, 2 recommendations, GMAT scores, college transcripts, and an interview. As with other Top 10 business schools, high quantitative scores (GMAT and GPA) are helpful, but not essential. Sloan in particular is trying to shed it's image of being a "techie geek" school. Therefore, liberal arts majors and non-engineers may have an unexpected edge in the admissions process. The interview differs from most schools in that the interviewer has already read your file and asks questions specific to you. It is also more interactive and "probing" in that the interviewer asks more questions related to your answers to previous questions. The school has increasingly focused on the interview to "weed out" people who look good on paper but are not strong communicators, again to move away from the stereotype of being smart but not polished communicators. All in all, the admissions process, though rigorous, provided an accurate measure of fit with the school. I am very impressed with my fellow classmates.
