I see you were sent this way by one of our good friends
Why do you target MIT MFin specifically? Do you have any extraordinary story to tell them? Leadership skill?
To get some ballpark idea on where you stand, take a look at the Tracker and filter by MIT MFin fields. You will get a list of members here who applied to MIT. Look at their profile as well.

 

[MrPaulAllen]

Yes, I was referred to this site! I PM'ed you with additional details.

You should post it here so more people can give you suggestion.
By the way, MIT MFin has an online chat next week 8/16 from 11-12PM EST so make sure you take advantage and clear any question you may have.

 

[MrPaulAllen]

I would like to play soccer while attending the program.

 

[Andy Nguyen]

This is a professional, career-oriented degree and I don't think you would even have time to play soccer while an MFin student there. What you propose may work for an undergraduate degree, it would most likely not work for any master degree such as this one.

Here is the golden question: What are my chances of acceptance to MIT MFin?

Not going to answer your question directly but this is something to read

Keep in mind that the same MIT Sloan Admission people read your MFin application as well.

chances... well, if you haven't applied yet, you have zero chances to get in. After you apply, you probably stand 50-50
