Hey everyone, Came across a few different Discords that might be of interest if you're looking at these programs this cycle: Stanford Design Impact: https://discord.gg/JVUyp7CZRQ Penn IPD: https://discord.gg/FR3auGDwYJ Harvard MDE: https://discord.gg/7yVhzc73hE

Anyone else by chance?

LMAO, savage.

Yep, their video is due at 1PM PST on Monday. They got a shorter time than we did.

Few more invites went out today according to some people in our Discord.

I haven't heard of anyone who has received a video invite since January 4 so unsure on that front; however, I do know you can't make Immersion Weekend without first going through the video portion.

Hey everyone, I've reached out to some of you individually (and thank you to those who responded)! I find that industrial design or design engineering is talked about little across some of these forums, and even less so about portfolios. Does anyone want to do portfolio reviews and/or comparisons? Feel free to DM me if you want to exchange portfolios! Or if you're more comfortable for more people to see your work, feel free to post below. Edit: For context, I was able to get an invitation to the video portion of the Stanford Knight-Hennessy scholarship applying to their Design Impact program (haven't heard from them directly though) so I think I can be of some help in terms of what I did. Edit 2: I applied to Stanford, Brown, Harvard, CMU, and JHU this cycle for industrial design/design engineering programs. I haven't heard from any schools about a decision but have received an interview for JHU (as of 16/1). Edit 3: Maybe for more focused feedback, maybe also comment what program you applied for and if there were particular portfolio constraints (e.g., number of projects, page limit, online etc.)

Nice, I also applied to MIIPS!

Anyone else apply for Harvard MDE this year? Thought the process was more holistic than most.

How long did you have to wait to hear back from them? Was it successful?

Currently waiting on a decision, but haven't received any traffic to my online portfolio from the US. Anyone else waiting for a response?

I know they say it's on a rolling basis, but I personally don't believe that it is the case given the large diversity of programs that have already had K-H invites. The rolling basis also doesn't affect me as much so I don't have much at stake in it being true or not. You'll need to get the video invite to go to the next step, which is immersion weekend.

I haven't received an interview for my program yet, but I also applied for a Master program.

January 26 is the last day I know of, but my video is due on the 14th if that helps.

Did you find any equivalent-ish programs?
