MIT Sloan is in the business of measuring potential through evidence. Where other schools might ask you to imagine or reflect, Sloan asks you to show. To demonstrate who you are through what you’ve actually done.
For many applicants, this creates an unexpected hurdle. It requires a shift from storytelling to signaling. From sharing aspirations to substantiating them.
On Wednesday, July 24th at 10:00 AM ET, join Susan Berishaj, Founder of Sia Admissions, for a strategic session that decodes what MIT Sloan is truly looking for—and how the best applicants meet that standard through clarity and intention.
This session is designed for applicants who understand that the Sloan application process is about being real and being ready.
We’ll cover:
Understanding MIT Sloan’s Evaluation Framework: Sloan looks for indicators of who you are today. We’ll explore how the admissions committee reads for evidence of leadership, analytical rigor, and professional integrity—and how those signals are embedded across your materials.
The Essay: What It’s Really Testing: Sloan’s behavioral prompt is structured to surface patterns: how you think, how you act under pressure, and how you’ve responded to real-world challenges. We’ll examine how strong applicants demonstrate depth through specificity and structure.
The Resume as a Strategic Document: Sloan places unusual weight on the resume as a reflection of how you’ve delivered value, taken ownership, and driven outcomes. We’ll discuss what separates a good resume from one that positions you as a high-performance, high-integrity leader.
Video Statement: Presence, Purpose, and Clarity: The videos are about presence. We’ll explore how MIT uses this component to assess communication, authenticity, and alignment, and what to consider when presenting yourself in this unfiltered format.
This session is for candidates ready to treat the Sloan application as a moment to demonstrate readiness for the MIT ecosystem, where ideas meet execution.
If you’re targeting MIT Sloan and want to build an application that proves—not just promises—your potential, we invite you to book a consultation. Our advising is structured for professionals who want to lead with clarity, not embellishment.
Limited availability. Reserved for applicants exploring coaching support for MIT Sloan or peer programs like GSB, HBS, Wharton, Kellogg, or Booth
