How would you prepare differently if you could go back in time and do it again? @pausedtoast95 It was interesting. No point in going back in time and doing it again, as the outcome will be different every time. recommend to simply follow the instructions.

I have 2 years full-time experience and 1.5 years of part-time experience along with an experience of running my own start-up (not too big scale) for 2 years while I was in undergrad. Do you think this will count towards their requirement of 3 years experience? To be honest the interview was a bit of a surprise to me as they mentioned in the webinar that I had attended back in November that I should wait for another year to apply.... so keeping my fingers crossed and hoping it goes well! Hello there! I have a pretty simillar situation with you. Strictly speacking, my full-time experience does not reach 3 years. Btw, I am also from a design background but I did not recieve the interview invitation. So I believe I do not have possibility to be accepted in this program. In addition, I am also curious about how they managed this program last year. Did they accept student defer? Or everyone was in Zoom University...What a tough year for everyone...
bluetime Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 For those who got an interview, congrats!! Do they give you choices to schedule your interview? Or do you have to do it 1-3 days after receiving the invite?

So if the interview invitation comes in on a Friday, the link will show timeslots for the next week. Folks who've finished their interviews: any word on when decisions will be out? I tried emailing the program to find out but haven't heard back. bluetime 1

I tried emailing the program to find out but haven't heard back. The website and previous years’ stats show that they only release it mid-April ? so we have almost a month more to go! I am under the assumption that interviews are still going on and will go on till early April (again, based on last years’ stats)
Wobblyrhino Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 @bluetime I had to do mine the next morning because it was the only slot available. T__T

I think we have time till first week of April to get those invites. To be honest, I am also getting nervous day by day, looking at my inbox, spam folder, checking this forum again and again. But I would say, too early to give up on this. By the way, anyone out of you from business background has received an interview invite? robopobox and engsab 2

Guess I'll stop refreshing my inbox then. Thanks for the brief moment of peace

desginengineeringmasters Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Anyone have any thoughts on MIT IDM vs Harvard MDE vs Berkeley MDes?
jr_roundumbrella Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 @kweeneytodd When did you receive the interview invite? Are you done with it? When did you submit the application? And did you receive that "We wanted to let you know we are in the process of carefully reviewing your application...." email on 3rd March? Just trying to see check a random hypothesis i.e. if people who have received this email are out of the interview list!!
chlobop Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) I heard from my colleague that had an interview on Friday they said 1.5 weeks out from release of decisions. Edited March 21, 2021 by chlobop TheCreator 1

bluetime Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 Wow congrats! Did you do an interview before? Did anyone else get accepted? From the amount of people on the group it seems 5-6 people got interviewed and 1 accept so far?

Submitted app the day of the deadline. Did not receive that March 3rd email. Interesting hypothesis! I wonder what their plan for rolling out decisions is, haven't heard anything since the interview so freaking out a bit.
