wittyviolin689 Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Hey applicants for MIT IDM! Starting this thread to chat and share updates as we approach the interview period.
oybin Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Hey, looks like a couple of interview requests have been sent out according to this site - but looking through past threads it seems that interviews go on till the end of March and even a few in April. Glued to this thread now!
thecodemachine Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) No update. Waiting. Applied to MIT and Upenn. Got an admit to a similar program at a different school (keeping it anonymous for now). I suspect no interview invites by end of march makes this an easy no. Edited March 3, 2019 by thecodemachine
wittyviolin689 Posted March 7, 2019 Author Posted March 7, 2019 @thecodemachine @oybin Which field did you guys apply under? No interview update as yet?
thecodemachine Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 @wittyviolin689 The IDM program for MIT. IPD for Upenn. We should receive a direct email request for interview soon when we're on the finalist list.
wittyviolin689 Posted March 10, 2019 Author Posted March 10, 2019 Anyone here has done an interview who can share more about it? @violet03 @SolderBob @IHaveAQuestion @Ramemo @Amit37 @chestnut@TLM @anonymous123456789 @grabcoffeeatgradcafe @kaminph @mrlooneytoon @Nikita01 @PerpetualBeginner

Eddiek12 Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Looking at the last year's thread, though the deadline was two weeks later than this year's, I assume the interview invitation will be sent even in April. We still have more than two weeks. Finger crossed for everyone!
wittyviolin689 Posted March 12, 2019 Author Posted March 12, 2019 Looks like someone got an interview 11 Mar on the results page
wittyviolin689 Posted March 17, 2019 Author Posted March 17, 2019 Another one got interview notification on 15 March. Seems like they are giving those on a rolling basis. Anyone here have an interview set up?
pensivefont Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Haven't heard anything yet. I emailed the admissions dept last friday and they said they were still sending out interview invites.

Hope they get through them soon as most graduate schools have an acceptance date of April 15.

From the historical data points seems like they go well past April 15th. ?
cozielny93 Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Im also waiting to hear back, already got acceptances from USC, Cornell and Purdue.
pensivefont Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 On 3/20/2019 at 4:30 PM, Parast said: What cohort did you guys apply to? Expand Design, you?
thecodemachine Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 On 3/20/2019 at 4:30 PM, Parast said: What cohort did you guys apply to? Expand business. Have an admit from another integrated product program from a dream school and the standard april 15th deadline. I would like to go to MIT to be able to take classes at the media lab while I'm there.
Parast Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 I am design candidate. also haven't heard anything back from the admissions team. They said that they release final decisions by mid-April. No idea how much longer they will be sending out interview requests.
wittyviolin689 Posted March 23, 2019 Author Posted March 23, 2019 Hey I'm an engineering candidate and good luck to the rest of you guys
pratikshachari Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) I am still awaiting the Interview invite..ive emailed them in the month of february..they replied saying that they will send out decisions in march and april. Could someone please share some inputs about the interview. Edited March 23, 2019 by pratikshachari
thecodemachine Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Finally got a decline from Upenn IPD. Huge relief because the waiting/obsessing is super stressful lol!
pensivefont Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 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?
sakimama Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Having gone through the interview process, would one wonder how it went? Having had answered abstract questions and intent of education, it was a very different experience crossing fingers to know what will happen ahead. Haven't applied to any other program as IDM seemed truly unique. I am not sure how reapplying may help, as it may in most other programs. Here I felt that the evaluation seemed to be of core personality. Edited March 27, 2019 by sakimama
