MIT Sloan Deadlines 2006-07

MIT Sloan has released their official deadlines for the 2006-07 admissions cycle. As usual, the school offers only two main deadlines (R1 in November and R2 in January). According to MIT, the essay topics for this application cycle will be posted after July 1st, 2006 (stay tuned to this blog for details). For those of you looking to get a headstart on your Sloan essays, follow this link to last year’s questions, along with our strategic advice. Without further ado, here are the deadlines for 2006-07:

MBA Round I : 11/1/2006 (decisions released: 1/29/2007)
MBA Round II: 1/10/2007 (decisions released: 4/2/2007)
LFM Program deadline: 12/15/2006 (decisions released: 3/12/2007)

Due to the limited number of rounds (most leading schools offer 3-4 rounds) and the program’s small size (roughly 370 students per intake), we strongly recommend that MIT/Sloan enthusiasts apply in the first round. Keep in mind that even if you are admitted in the first round, the school will give you until April 2nd, 2007 to reply with a decision about matriculation. In other words, a first-round application will not force you into an early decision about where to attend.

Please note that reapplicants are required to apply in R1. Also, one other quirk to the MIT Sloan deadlines is that all applications must be received by 12 PM (Pacific) on the deadline day.
