Wanted to make a thread for MIT Media lab Fall 2021 applicants to talk. I personally focus on the Biomechatronics group.

Hello ?

[kidhihihi]

Hi! Anyone know what the usual timeline for hearing about interviews is (if you get one)?  

[PapaSeanL]

I had the chance to talk with one of my POIs before applying. He/She said most people send out interview invites in early-mid Jan. This is the normal timeline for more sciencey labs.

[Winehouse]

Nothing so far. Portfolio hasn’t registered any visits...

Any idea on timeline?

[zjc664656505]

Applied to Affective computing, Social Machine, and Future Sketches. Still waiting for the interview now.

I contacted the affactive computing administrative assistant this week. She said the POI just started reviewing the applications this week and would directly contact us if they have any questions within this month. So, I guess we just need to wait. Good Luck.

[Winehouse]

I got contacted by the head of the lab I applied for and have an interview next week. 

[soup_star]

Congratulations!  which lab did you apply to?

[zjc664656505]

Got 2 portfolio visit until today from the media lab. I guess the visits are from affective computing and future sketches. This morning I received the email from the affective computing adiministrative assistant, saying that there are over 300 applicants who applied to the affective computing group, and they are most likely accepting 1-2 of the applicants. Also, professor Picard is still reviewing the applications this week and will finish up reviewing the application until the end of the next week. Then the POI will directly contact us if we are on the interview list in the first week of Feb. Hoping this information could be helpful to you guys.

Got 1 portfolio visit yesterday for 32s. I applied for future sketches, viral communications, and poetic justice. I am guessing that hit was from future sketches since zjc664656505's portfolio was visited yesterday also. 

I also emailed viral communications group's administrative assistant inquiring about where in the reviewing process they are in, she emailed back yesterday saying while she is not involved in that progress, it is still early in the usual timeframe.

Does anyone applying City Science Group hear from the lab/receive an interview?

[opni_29OIO]

Does anyone get any feedback or interview request from Personal Robots group? Nothing happened to me so far.

I got a portfolio visit on Jan 21st for 8 minutes. I guess it's from future sketches.
