As a top-tier business school, does MIT Sloan have a very competitive atmosphere?
At MIT Sloan we are renowned for our collaborative, supportive culture. Far from being competitive, Sloanies are helpful, rather humble, and root for one another to succeed. Our faculty foster a collaborative approach to learning, and classmates routinely help each other with the material they each know best. Class discussions are open and free-wheeling; everyone is encouraged to share his or her point of view. Because you are routinely assigned to work together on team projects, especially during the first year, you quickly come to rely on your classmates as colleagues and as friends. “MIT Sloan is all about the people. That’s the most important thing. A lot of my fellow classmates say that what really made their decision to attend MIT Sloan was coming to Admit Weekend and realizing how important the people are.
