Because it is still at MIT, I have to take other classes that aren't directly business related that increase my analytical skills, such as calculus, programming, etc.

I am usually taking all my classes with mostly MBA students. I am learning at almost the same level as they are, and I'm learning the same things, so I would actually not want to apply to MIT Sloan for my future MBA but another school to get a new experience.

There is a quantitative focus. People are actually encouraged to know the mechanics behind why things work, not just the theories and papers. This is especially apparent in economics.

Sloan requires a lot of it's students. The program is quantitatively focused. I think that it was exceedingly challenging, which is good. I feel prepared to handle real-world situations and the problem-solving skills that I have learned though my courses at Sloan and required MIT courses will help in everything that I do in the world. I think that it also makes me more knowledgeable about many areas in the business world. I've spoken with friends at other business schools and it surprised me to know that they had never taken a probability or economics course. I know that the math, programming, and finance classes I have taken have prepared me for any career in the future.

The ability to attract a unique collection of talented and interesting individuals of wide-ranging backgrounds [makes the program unique]. As an undergrad taking many of the courses for your concentration, you are able to work in groups alongside business school students and professional fellows on sabbatical from their respective industries who come study here.

The number of engineers in the business program (as a second major or minor) really raises the caliber of students and learning from them is utterly fantastic.

The technological aspect of the culture of MIT really pushes one to have a science-based outlook on the business world.

There aren't any barriers when it comes to taking classes besides the lottery system. The fact that I can take any MBA class I want was a huge perk for me. I've been taking MBA classes since my freshmen year. Most of the business classes involve team work and getting to know my classmates and learning about their life story and experiences have been very interesting.

Sloan undergraduates always joke about not having to worry about getting an MBA because they've already finished the curriculum, and I think this is very true. We are given ample opportunity to mingle with the MBA students and learn from the best. For those who seize the opportunity to network (most MBA events are also open for undergraduates), there really isn't a need to go get a separate MBA degree (besides obvious reasons such as a salary boost and mid-career change).

Within our program, you get practice with a great deal of hands-on work, which shows you how to actually implement the things you've learned in the workplace. Also, our professors have all done exceptional things in their careers and often relay their real-life experiences to us, which enhances the learning process.
