About Linda Abraham

    Hi Linda,

    Should this year’s MIT cover letter include career goals? The word limit makes it very tough to include career aspirations on top of accomplishments and impact on a group or organization.

    Thanks,

    Chris

    Good question. MIT’s cover letter is all about fit with MIT, just like a job cover letter is all about fit with the prospective employer. The primary element in the cover letter will be what you bring to MIT. I do believe that part of demonstrating fit is showing that MIT will help you achieve your goal. Is it required based on the wording of the questions? No.
