MIT EMBA: 11 Days to the Final 5/8/25 Deadline, How to Make It
With only 11 days to go, is it possible to make the early May deadline? Yes! For MIT, you do not need a standardized test score. So, your main, immediate tasks are to put together outstanding essays along with an excellent resume and org chart by the deadline – something that can be done. You will also need to mobilize your recommendation writers so they submit their letters of recommendation for you on time. You will need at least two recommendations.

Consider these steps:

• Recommendations. Begin to work with your recommendation writers as soon as possible. Give them solid guidance about what sort of topics on which to focus and examples of your impact and leadership at work. Eleven days is not a lot of time, so perhaps provide them with a list of your achievements so they can draw from that and finish the recommendations more quickly.

• Essays. Begin to draft your essays. Some candidates can draft on their own, but if you find you are expending too much time drafting your responses, you can seek the support of a reputable consultant who can help you outline your essays so that you draft the ideal content from the beginning and do not need extensive re-writing. For MIT, just beware that their essay topics are geared to weed out candidates who do not have the right quality of experience. So, choose your examples with care!

• Org chart. Make sure to put together an organizational chart that presents your role in the most favorable light – showing direct reports, indirect reports, dotted line relationships, and executives to whom you report. (Also pay adequate attention to how you describe your work and employers on the application form.)

• Resume. Revise your resume so that it is the best application resume possible. You want the resume to be a highly effective snapshot of your candidacy that makes the admissions committee want to admit you from the beginning. Remember, there is a difference between a job resume and an application resume, so make sure to add in the relevant credentials that the admissions committee values when admitting candidates. But, your resume can be your last priority, because you can always send in a revised resume after your initial submission.
