Results update has been posted on the application page. I had this paragraph on:
"That said, we were very impressed with your application and your vision for the future, and feel that IDM could be right for you if you had some additional real-world experience. This could include working in an established company, creating and implementing your own product or business, or making a social impact. We encourage you to reapply to the program in 2-3 years."I wonder if that's a standard paragraph for everyone?
I got the exact same message.
How many years of experience do you have? I have approx 5.

In the (unfortunate) event of not getting into this program, are you guys planning on attending a different program, or would you try again next year?

Awesome. Hope they get through them soon as most graduate schools have an acceptance date of April 15.
That's definitely my worry. From the historical data points seems like they go well past April 15th. ?

Haven't heard anything yet. I emailed the admissions dept last friday and they said they were still sending out interview invites.

I also applied to this program, haven't heard anything back yet!
This was also the only program I applied to that didn't require a portfolio which I thought was interesting. ?

Once I figure out where I'm going, my plan is to take several months off from work before school starts to just go camping, read books, do volunteer work, etc. (Although I can absolutely see myself getting cabin fever from such a drastic life style change.)

Anyone hear anything yet? @pensivefont @Raphaellin @SeeIt @BaeHH
Not yet! No interview or anything.
I guess at this point I'm assuming I'll hear back first week of March.

I applied to a very similar program UW HCDE MS and have not heard back.

@BaeHH Good luck! Hope it goes well.
Wondering why they have interviews if those aren’t required. Has anyone been accepted in the previous years without an interview?
I do believe that is the case. Just because you didn't get an interview doesn't mean you won't get accepted.

Good luck! The wait is so nerve-wracking because from other posts I've seen, its so hard to figure out what these schools want
Good luck to you too! ?
I looked up students on linkedin in all the programs I've applied to, just to see what their general background is like, but that doesn't tell you a whole lot.

I don't think it's required.
For Harvard Grad School of Design it says: "Interviews are not part of the application process, although you are welcome and encouraged to visit the GSD." -- Which includes MDE.

Me! I've applied to 5 different programs, all in the US.
Also my first time applying but have been working for the past 4-ish years.

Curious as to what you will do next?
As for me, I got into CMU and UPENN for similar programs but don't think I'll ultimately attend either program. Going to start looking for a new job instead of grad school. ?
