MIT Sloan’s video essay prompt is: “Introduce yourself to your future classmates.” You get 60 seconds to show your personality—not credentials. Think of it as what you'd say on Day 1 to a new peer group.
- Start with your name and where you're from
- Share one thing that makes you memorable—a hobby (like baking sourdough), a fun fact (like growing up in five countries), or a unique interest (like comic book art or marathon running)
- End with a line on what excites you about joining the Sloan community
Keep the tone peer-to-peer, not overly formal or scripted. Avoid résumé highlights—this isn’t a pitch. Just be real, warm, and clear. Look into the camera, smile, and keep it simple. The goal is to help your future classmates remember you for who you are—not just what you’ve done. You can even check out MIT Sloan's official video on " How to Shoot the Perfect MBA Video Essay "
