MIT IDM 2018

[JR90]

Hi 

Anyone here whose applied to the 2018 IDM program?

[juststayingcalm]

Hi,  I did. The deadline was Feb 15 11:59 EST and I submitted at 6:00 am IST which is within the EST time but my app time stamp says submitted 2/16 so am a little worried that it would be considered past the deadline.

[JR90]

I think it would be fine cause all the university deadlines go by EST. As long as you application says submitted I dont think it will be a problem

[juststayingcalm]

awesome! so what field have you applied from?

[Belucky]

Hey ! I applied too , any idea when  we can expect a result ?

Super anxious ...

[Tino22]

Unclear on when we can expect to hear back... applied as an engineer, how about you guys?

Good luck

I've applied as well..design background... anyone has an idea when they start sending out interview invites?

[juststayingcalm]

No idea. I believe they got 180 apps this year which is 20 more than last year. Will take a while to process!

[r2c7]

That's one successful applicant for every 9 approx.. :/ How did you get these stats?

[OCE2018]

They will likely be interviewing between the 4-8 week marks and hope to have a final decision by 8 weeks from the deadline

anyone received the email for legatum fellowship from IDM admission or already replied for it? just curious how they process it when the application is still pending...

@r2c7 someone at the program told me

The fellowship email is sent to all IDM applicants, agree it's a bit surprising they send this before knowing wether you get accepted

Hi everyone, 

Havent heard back either ,  no rejection letter yet 

[juststayingcalm]

[Belucky]

Checking the admission portal and then visiting this blog on an hourly basis has become a compulsive habit for me ... Haha 

[r2c7]

[balessio27]

Seems not many people are discussing on IDM admission this year too

it is really weird everyone is not even waiting for result but juz updates on status or invitation to interview...
