If you took the GMAT, select the correct edition from the dropdown in the application. The current version, the GMAT Focus Edition (available since November 2023), has a Total Score range of 205–805. The previous version scored 200–800. Though similar, the scales differ due to updated percentile distributions.GMAT Superscore will appear as an additional data point on GMAT Official Score Reports sent to our program. For the current admissions cycle, our evaluation process will continue to focus on single-attempt scores as we evaluate how GMAT Superscore may inform future admissions decisions. Candidates should not be concerned that the presence of a GMAT Superscore will negatively affect their application.

English Language Proficiency (ELP) tests, like the TOEFL and IELTS are not required. English abilities are evaluated during our interview process.

MBA Early Admission:
MIT Sloan offers the opportunity for college seniors and graduate students to defer their enrollment and secure their seat in a future MBA class. Find more information about the MBA Early Admission process online.
Additional details about the admissions process can be found in the Admissions section of the MBA Program website.
We understand that pursuing an MBA is a significant financial investment. Our Admissions Committee automatically considers all admits for merit-based fellowships. There is no additional application process required, and admits will be notified of any merit-based fellowship at the time of admission.
Additionally, the majority of MBA students use loans to finance their education. These come from two government programs, from MIT directly, or through an alternative lending source. Some students receive funding through on-campus teaching and research assistantships. You may apply for these after the completion of your first semester. Please see the MBA program website for more information.
