VERDICT

Should I use MIT Sloan?

The MIT Sloan School of Management offers bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree programs, as well as executive education. - mitsloan.mit.edu

Depends. Buy only if you need an elite MBA network and can absorb multi-year tuition plus a full-time commitment. Skip if you want affordable, fast business skills — executive education or online programs fit far better.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~20 public sources: MIT Sloan official pages, Reddit r/MBA threads, GMAT Club student reviews, and news of the MIT SMR shutdown.
