Cover Letter

MIT Sloan seeks students whose personal characteristics demonstrate that they will make the most of the incredible opportunities at MIT, both academic and non-academic. They are on a quest to find those whose presence will enhance the experience of other students. They seek thoughtful leaders with exceptional intellectual abilities and the drive and determination to put their stamp on the world. They welcome people who are independent, authentic, and fearlessly creative — true doers. They want people who can redefine solutions to conventional problems, and strive to preempt unconventional dilemmas with cutting-edge ideas. They demand integrity and respect passion.
