Just got rejected from Berkeley MDes. And also rejected from UW HCDE. Seems like I am getting rejected from technical-oriented design programs.
Still waiting to hear back from MIT IDM & Cornell but as of now, I will most likely be choosing Harvard MDE over CMU MIIPS. I would have chosen HCDE over any of them so it kinda blows but I'm still grateful!
Same - I interviewed and my second language is English yet I was exempt from submitting TOEFL. And the interview itself was more general so not sure if it's be a deciding factor. So don't lose hope yet!

Hmm yeah not sure if someone's trolling cus i too think it's very early given it has been less than 6 weeks since submission?
