ftppny Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 hi I also applied but haven't heard back yet! gradddcafe 1
homecookeddaal Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 Thanks for starting this thread! I heard that they will *start* sending out interview invites from the end of this month (so, tomorrow onwards?). Not sure how much the invites will be spread out but based on previous year threads on this site, it seems like they go out on a rolling basis for a few weeks. yclyoyo and gradddcafe 1 1
gradddcafe Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Let’s keep each other posted in terms of interview invites! homecookeddaal 1
mc13 Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 Hi! I applied in the Design area, but haven't heard anything yet. Anyone got an appointment yet?
homecookeddaal Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Nothing yet here either. Just waiting waiting...
Katika Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Applied as "business" - also haven't heard anything. They were supposed to send interviews "by early march", so I am not sure... homecookeddaal 1
thecount Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 I applied as a dual degree with sloan. Heard from them last week but nothing from IDM yet homecookeddaal 1
DFVvenn Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 Hey, I've applied for the MIT IDM fall 2020 in business category as well. They started reviewing the applications post mid February. I guess we could expect the interviews by mid march I guess. I hope we keep each other posted on the interview calls.
Katika Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 I emailed them today and they told me they are still in process of reviewing applications, so will probably be another 1-2 weeks?
vanillasky2 Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 I have decided to do some spring skiing to hopefully get rid of my anxiety in waiting. homecookeddaal and Katika 2

It's kinda interesting to see empty results survey as of Mar 17, 2020. Based on previous years' data people usually add interviews quickly after they receive them. I guess the COVID-19 is causing the delay? Edited March 17, 2020 by vanillasky2
homecookeddaal Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Yeah nothing yet here either. I assume that if someone on this thread had gotten an interview call they would have added that here, so probably they are still reviewing applications....

I wonder if they delay final decisions too - would it be enough time for international students to get their visas etc... or actually in this new Corona world - most embassies are not even processing visas. what would that mean for all of us?

Since the whole nation is currently WFH (working from home), I am assuming the process will be slightly delayed but probably not too much thanks to Zoom, Slack, Google meet etc. The visa concern you brought is valid. It takes 1-2 months for an international student to schedule and interview for an F-1 visa. The time frame can easily stretch to 3-4 months due to lack of interview slot at a busy consular/embassy, and administrative processing (i.e. "check") by the department of state. Considering there is a portion of F-1 international students in every cohort, I think Matt will keep the admission criteria unchanged, and expand the wait list in case candidates can't make their ways to the US. It means more hope for some candidates, and more waiting for some candidates. Some local candidates in the wait list may get notification even in the summer. Just my 2 cents.

Sudhir Jain Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 Hey, I've applied for the MIT IDM fall 2020 in Engineering cohort. I also haven't heard anything from them. I got admit from similar program MIIPS of CMU.
