mc13 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Hi all, I applied to the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the Media Lab for Fall this year. Just wondering about any insights or experiences about the interview process during Jan/Feb. Potential questions, presentations, etc? It must be completely different among each group but I'm curious about what other students have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm applied to biomechatronics, opera and city science.These are very anxious times indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No views on my Portfolio (they did not ask for one but yeah) and no contact so far. Hang tight everyone, it's still early, right?

I applied to Viral Communications and have heard nothing but I got a 2 minute view on my portfolio last month. Did anyone have an interview with that group already? Is it advisable to email the professor to express interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bounty Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Me to My portfolio has been visited from MIT , but no interview requests yet, I think the interviews have been started not sure, I applied to TMG, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gldstrrbt Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 If it's no trouble to ask, what's the range on the visiting IP addresses? I've been receiving quite a few visits each day from IPs starting with 18 and on some whois sites they resolve to MIT. The thing is, I read that a couple years ago MIT sold of their IPs above (IIRC) 18.145 to Amazon and almost all of the IPs in my logs are above 18.145. I applied to Poetic Justice, and last week received an open application for the group. Otherwise, the only contact I've had was after inquiring about one of the questions in the open application. In the meantime, I'm remaining patient and not getting my hopes up. It's difficult at times, but the situation is out of our hands at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poetic Justice has a dedicated form for applicants to fill in. The program assistant told me that they are going to send out invitations in January or early February, according to the PI's schedule. gldstrrbt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing you and everyone here the best of luck in our pursuits of happiness I cannot ensure all groups will reach out at the same period; I have heard someone already got an interview. The assistant of Poetic Justice told me last month that they will reach out in this month; however, it is not very certain, and have to comply with its PI's schedule. Sorry for the ambiguity.

heyjude0820 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Also applying to LLK. Got visits from MIT (the network provider is mit.edu) for seven times. One burst on Jan 11, but not sure whether it's from LLK or other gourps. No interviews yet. POI replied that he will look through my application carefully.
