MIT EMBA Class Profile: Do You Fit?
MIT’s EMBA class is composed of 126 students. Because MIT does not require a standardized test for admission, the school has been very successful in recent years in increasing its number of applicants. Today, given the greater volume of applicants, MIT is much more able to select the students that fit more closely with what they have been saying they are seeking in matriculating students: “highly seasoned executives.”
Let’s take a look at the class profile that MIT has put on its website, and discuss some takeaways. When looking at the statistics that MIT provides about its EMBA class profile, there are some striking trends.
Most students – some 66% – are not local (within driving distance), implying that this program is truly national and attracts candidates who are willing to fly from further out to attend the program. The breadth of industries represented is impressive, with only 36% of students from the technology, healthcare, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology fields.
The average age of students is 41, and the average number of work experience years is 17. This is much higher than the average age and work experience years at EMBA programs such as Columbia-New York or Wharton. In private correspondence with some of our MBA Admit.com clients, MIT has also disclosed that less than 15% of its students have 10-13 years of experience (that’s only 19 students!). From that statistic, younger candidates seem to be at a disadvantage.
Consistent with this, the professional positions of most of the candidates are quite high: 9% are founders of their organizations (roughly 11 students), and 62% are Director or C-level (nearly two-thirds of the class!). Again, this is a notable distinction when compared with programs like Wharton and Columbia-New York, which are not so uniformly composed of such “seasoned” executives.
About 48% of MIT EMBA students are of “international origin.”
Another stand-out fact: over one-third of all MIT EMBA students work for companies with 10,000 or more employees, and only 10% (12 students!) are in organizations with 25 or fewer employees.
A main takeaway is that, indeed, MIT seems to now be successful in honing in on much more experienced professionals who have reasonably high seniority. It is also succeeding in establishing itself as a program very distinct from the Columbia-New York and Wharton programs, which find qualified candidates who are between 28-39 years-old very attractive.
More experienced candidates should prepare their applications well to show they are ready to return to school and can keep pace. Younger candidates can have a chance at MIT, but the numbers indicate that there are few spots for such candidates and therefore competition will be keen.
