"Vets lookout for another and that ranges true during the application process. I reached out to the Sloan Vets Club to ask questions and seek advice on the application. Not a single email went unanswered. The Sloan Vets Club is committed to helping veterans succeed."

"I chose MIT Sloan because of its place as the intersection of both technology and business. I think there is no better place in the world that offers that. I had an amazing experience during the admissions process talking to other candidates. Additionally, it provided an amazing opportunity and community while transitioning off active duty."

Sungi Cho

"I chose MIT Sloan for the community. The students and staff I spoke to while making my decision illustrated a warm and collaborative community, which proved to be true. I kept hearing the phrase "Sloanies helping Sloanies," which embodied the community I wanted to join."

Wayne Pak

"First, I knew given my background, I wanted a program that would give me a holistic education, and MIT Sloan definitely had that box checked. But beyond that, it was how collaborative the environment was. Sloan doesn't have a reputation for being competitive, and I've found that everyone here is so willing to help you. It feels really genuine."
