IDM MIT 2017

  • 2 weeks later...

Glad to find this forum and fellow IDM-Applicants!

Likewise, applied for R1:
Submitted on 1/20
Payment Cleared on 1/25
Email saying "wait for 6 weeks" received on 1/27.

The post on "http://thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=MIT+IDM" is concerning, how that applicant got an invitation for interviews, but for a program like this, very much worthwhile waiting.

To ease the tension as we wait, shall we share which of the three backgrounds we come from? I am applying for a Business-section of the cohort.

I got to know through a friend who's attending IDM right now, that they have an adcom meeting every Thursday. So we might get to hear something later this week :)

The wait is nerve-wrecking. What other programs did you apply to?

I envy your network / connection! I see, good to hear that various individuals would be looking at our application and our portfolios.

I did hear that they had record-breaking number of applications this term, something like "more in R1 than all rounds combined last year."

Hopefully we can make the cut!

 

I applied to UPenn (Accepted) and Stanford (Expected to hear back sometime this or next week). How about you?

That's quite a piece of information! In that case, the R1 result might get more delayed..

Congratulations on your admit! I haven't applied to any other program. Will continue with my career trajectory if I'm not able to make the cut. Hope for the best :)

Only now just got my "Application complete" email saying that I will hear back within 6 weeks, even though I submitted well before the deadline. So there's that...

That is great news, congrats! I am sure they were impressed :)

Today or tomorrow might be the day then! Seriously hoping that it does not go into next week...

Hi guys, I am in the same position than you... I applied in December but my checklist was completely marked during February! I believe they were not expecting that amount of people and it exceeded their capacity.

OMG I GOT INTO MIT SDM AND MIT LGO. 

Congratulations!

Must be super excited!

Great to see someone be accepted, while we are waiting for the sibling program.

How was the interview process like?

Could you shed some light for us?

It is indeed killing, great choice of word :(

I found that interesting as well, as I combined two of my portfolios into one PDF (as directed by the admissions coordinator when I asked), and submitted that.

Apparently some people opted to present their portfolios online, or directed them to their website for other reasons? I think thats a smart move though, as you can gain some insight on who visited your webpage when, just to keep track..
