The MIT Executive MBA program has announced changes to its admissions process for the Class of 2014 (entering October 2012). Unlike the rolling admissions process of previous years, this year MIT will have two admissions cycles.
The deadline for Round One decisions is February 16, 2012
The deadline for Round Two decisions is May 31, 2012.
The online application portal will open on November 18, 2012. However, the MBA EMBA program has already released next year’s essay questions. While these are largely the same, there are some changes.
