Faighar Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Hi all! Congrats to the people that got accepted and good luck to you all. New to the thread, so I’ll share some of my information. Applied 2 days before due date, I’m an Engineering background (only because I get to choose 1). I have 4+ years of experience. I’ve also received that email on 3rd of Mar about reviewing my application. Haven’t heard anything since. I should say that email was odd since not all applicants have received it, and it has been almost 3 weeks since that email. Hoping for the best to all of you!

aqudon Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 @leepscongrats on the offer! If I may ask what other programs have you applied to and gotten offers from? What’s your general opinion of the different options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCreator Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Hey Everyone, First off, a huge congrats to @leeps and @desginengineeringmasters! Similar to @Faighar I'm new here so I'll share a bit about my background as well. I applied with an undergraduate degree in design and a background in business. Prior to pursing my design degree I worked in the music industry for 10+ years in various roles ranging from event marketing to brand partnerships and new business development. This unusual path has led to a passion for product design and innovation, specifically looking for ways to improve the quality of life for vulnerable populations. It's crazy where life can lead us sometimes ? Received the email on March 3rd. Interview took place on March 11. Best of luck to everyone waiting on next steps!

desginengineeringmasters Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 If it helps, I got the email for an interview Feb 26th, and interviewed on March 2nd. Important to note that even though I was accepted, I haven't received an email yet. Matt Kressy, the founding director, personally called to let me know of my acceptance. Everyone who was accepted so far got a call from him (I believe). He said emails would be coming in a week or so (I can't remember exactly because my head was spinning I was so excited), so don't quote me on that. Hope that helps and gives your F5 key a bit of a break ? Best of luck!! Rishabh Agnihotri and robopobox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firsttimeuser Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) Hello! I have been admitted to MIT IDM with a design background, and I would love to share my experience as well if it helps. I was interviewed on March 2nd, and I was notified of my acceptance via the phone as well. Amongst the program acceptances I have received in my life, it has been the most heartfelt one. The founding director of the program is gold. I'd love to connect with fellow admits and alumni, and I would like to share information that would be helpful to other applicants who are waiting for their results given that it is within a boundary that I am comfortable with.

Wobblyrhino Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) Wow a phone call? Matt is so wholesome ❤️ I think that reflects well in how the program was put together/what it entails. I guess I'll actually turn my phone ringer on. Looking forward to all the robocalls I'll be getting excited about. ?
