MIT EMBA: Are You Too Old or Too Young?

The MIT EMBA program is known for having a more seasoned or experienced cohort than many other top U.S. EMBA programs. For example, MIT’s EMBA students have an average of 17 years of work experience and an average age of 41. Compare that with Columbia Business School, whose EMBA students have an average of 11 years of work experience and an average age of 34. But we at MBA Admit.com have seen both notably older and notably younger candidates gain admission to the MIT EMBA program. A candidate at 55 has not “aged out” and can easily convey to the admissions committee why they need an MBA at their career tenure. Similarly, a 30-year-old might have exceptional experience either as an entrepreneur or as a leader who has grown within one company that has achieved noteworthy success. Some young candidates can persuade MIT through excellent essays and outstanding recommendations that they will be value-added members of the EMBA class.
