flashdrive Posted March 31, 2021 Author Posted March 31, 2021 At this point it's likely that all a-list applicants were called on the 21st, especially anyone who indicated that they were applying to other schools so IDM doesn't loose them to a competitor program. Anyone accepted from this point forward is likely on the b-list - a pool of applicants to pull from should anyone decline their offer. pausedtoast95 1

Does this mean there will be still interview invitations giving out?

I'm not on the adcom so I'm not sure, but I would say it's likely that all the candidates they're most interested in have been interviewed at this point.

Mariaaa Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 Just wondering if anyone knows about the situation of international students who got accepted last year. I belive many of them took defferal due to Covid. Is MIT increasing students in the batch to account for this change or they're just filing remaining seats this year?

Where did you get this information from? I had an interview in Mid-March, and then haven't heard anything. I know IDM is around a 30~ person program, and on this forum alone we have seen 6 acceptances. For people contemplating next steps who haven't heard back, should we assume we didn't get it?

For people contemplating next steps who haven't heard back, should we assume we didn't get it? I'm still holding out hope that I'll hear back with an acceptance. While I think flashdrive's speculation is pessimistic, they do make a good point that the admissions deliberations are complex. Not all who are offered a spot will accept, and I'm sure it's no small feat putting together a reserve roster of people they could pull from that would preserve the culture of the cohort they're trying to build. I would hedge your bets and consider alternative paths, but don't count yourself as b-list just because flashdrive feels that way. You're A-list just for getting this far! Buena suerte! engsab 1

Pausedtoast-- LOVE this outlook! Agreed, I definitely don't view us at b-list and wouldn't if I got a call. Haha I was just curious if they were finishing their acceptance calls already. (Just wanted a realistic gage of where things were at. Agreed, admissions is WEIRD and complex, so I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't even finish up calls yet, but who knows! Especially as the program is ~30 people, with 10 from each background, along with additional weight of deferrals from last year.) Here's holding out hope for the both of us! Hope we get it and can do a celebratory jig together! kweeneytodd and pausedtoast95 2
