    About this ebook

    Career goals are surprisingly unimportant at MIT. They want you to be more real with them than that. To assess whether you'll be a high achiever in the future, MIT wants to hear about how you've been a high achiever in the past. Where have you made a contribution?

    As you might guess, it's easy to stumble on the Sloan app if you've been focusing on your pitch to other schools. This one needs to be different.
    This SnarkStrategies Guide covers all the many things that MIT does differently in their MBA admissions processes.

    For starters, their essays are different.
    Their interviews are definitely different.
    How they assess each application is also different.

    EssaySnark offers our understanding of the rationale behind these differences to give you insights into their thinking, which will hopefully influence your thinking and help you present yourself in the strongest way possible.

    As with all our SnarkStrategies Guides, we will not tell you what to say in your essays. You need to do the heavy lifting yourself. Expect to dedicate a significant chunk of time to figuring out your strategy and writing your drafts. This process will take you some time. Using the advice in this Guide should make the overall process go more efficiently for you.

    This SnarkStrategies Guide tells you how to approach MIT's 2012-2013 essays, cover letter, and interview,. Additional up-to-the-minute resources for applying to the best MBA programs in the world can be found at www.essaysnark.com.

    Essay Snark is an MBA admissions consultant who is sometimes amused and often appalled by what candidates write in their MBA essays to top bschools. Essay Snark shares others' mistakes, so you don't make admissions directors laugh or, worse, want to hurl when they read your essays. If you, intrepid applicant, want to have your essay reviewed by Essay Snark (and posted anonymously - yes everyone will see it), email it to gethelpnow(at)essaysnark(dot)com. Emailing your essay means you give explicit permission for it to be posted (obvious identifying information such as your name and the name of your employer will be removed), and you release Essay Snark from any claims that may result from possible humiliation over said snarkiness. (And please, people, don't email us two days before the app deadline and expect to hear back in time.)EssaySnark has helped clients with successful applications to:Harvard HBSStanford GSBWhartonColumbiaNYU SternMIT SloanKelloggChicago BoothBerkeley HaasYale SOMUCLA AndersonMichigan RossUVA DardenDuke FuquaCornell JohnsonGeorgetown McDonoughUSC MarshallVanderbiltBabsonUT-AustinINSEADIEIESEEsadeOxfordLBSISBand many more...

      About this SnarkStrategies Guide

      You must be a quant. You're interested in MIT, so we figured...

      Oh you're not? Isn't that the only type of person who they'll accept?

      No, of course it's not – but strength in quant does matter to MIT. And so do a whole slew of other things – different things, in fact, than what other schools are looking for.

      This SnarkStrategies Guide will break them down for you. MIT is unique in many ways, and we're not able to distill all of it down in a 50-page book. You need to visit campus if you can. Get to know this place. See if it's right for you, based on your own first-hand research and investigation. Then when it comes time to write your essays, you can turn to EssaySnark for help, after you're armed with your own opinions and information about their program.

      What we'll cover in this SnarkStrategies Guide are all the many things that MIT does differently in their admissions process. For starters, their essays are different. Their interviews are definitely different. We'll offer our understanding of the rationale behind these differences, as a way to give you insights into their thinking, which will hopefully influence your thinking and help you present yourself in the strongest way possible.

      As with all our SnarkStrategies Guides, we will not tell you what to say in your essays. You need to do the heavy lifting yourself. Expect to dedicate a significant chunk of time to figuring out your strategy and writing your drafts. Yes, that's plural drafts, as in, multiple. The MIT application is no joke. This process will take you some time. Using the advice in this Guide should make the overall process go more efficiently for you. Don't cut corners along the way. Hammer out your strategy and focus on details, and you'll be in good shape. Don't worry, we'll walk you through it.

      Of course, if you find yourself stuck on anything, drop on over to our blahg at http://essaysnark.com or email us at gethelpnow@essaysnark.com – or even tweet us if it's a simple question – and we'll see what we can do to help out.
