Dawna Levenson, Assistant Dean of Admissions at the MIT Sloan School of Management, digs into MBA admissions at the leading business school in our latest podcast episode of our Admissions Director Q&amp;A series.

Episode 182: Admissions Director Q&A—Dawna Levenson of MIT Sloan

In this episode I am speaking with Dawna Levenson.  Dawna is an Assistant Dean at MIT Sloan, where she co-leads the Admissions Team. Prior to joining MIT Sloan she spent 18 years at Accenture.  Dawna also received her bachelors and masters from MIT. When we recorded this interview in Cambridge some two months ago, COVID-19 was not present in the conversation. Nonetheless, Dawna gave an incredibly accurate prediction about coming changes in the education field, and her expectation of a residential/online hybrid model that is imminent to come - this could not be more relevant! This episode is highly relevant for prospective applicants, interested in Sloan’s mission statement and how the school goes about fulfilling that mission statement, how Sloan’s admission team decides who gets in and who stays out, and what major mistakes to avoid in the in person interview. It is also interesting for business leaders in healthcare, as it showcases some of Sloan’s unique industry relationships, gives insights on ideation and joint research programs (for example with Harvard U), and tells the story of two impactful companies that were conceived in the school’s halls. (Dawna encourages prospective applicants to reach out to her directly - details in the podcast) If you enjoy the podcast, please rate, review and share. Happy listening!
