I submitted like a week before the deadline, so January 22nd or so? I applied and was accepted for M:IPD (I have a background in design)

Big Congrats!

What's your design background? Graphic design or architecture or any other major?

Thank you! I'm crazy excited!

Believe it or not, I actually have a background in scenic design for theater. So I guess when they say they're looking for diversity in experiences, they actually mean it ?

Same here, no interview and I found out I got in today! I was also accepted to CMU's MIIPS program a couple of weeks ago (I only applied to those two programs) so now I've got a big decision to make!

Same here (got into MIIPS) - still waiting on one more decision from USC (the Product Innovation program) but either way it's a tough decision! Also to answer Eddieeee's Q I also applied for M:IPD just a few days before the deadline.

Congrats! Did you receive an email to check the portal status or did they send the letter to you directly? 

--also waiting for USC Product innovation! I've been looking around for other ppl who applied. Did you get an interview with them?

Thank you!! I received an email yesterday to check the portal status, and then today I also got a letter directly to my email. And SAME reg. USC Product Innovation, I haven't seen anyone talk about it online!! I didn't get an interview with them, did you? I'm a little concerned but also not sure if they are interviewing anyone at all.

They did say they would send decisions by the end of March though so hopefully we know by tomorrow

Yeah! I literally can't find anything about it... I also didn't get an interview and was a bit concerned. They said they'd request one if it was "required" which didn't really make sense. Does that mean they only do it if you're lacking something in your application? But I'm glad to see I'm not the only one worrying about it haha.

Hopefully they will let us know by tomorrow!

Big congrats to people who were accepted! Wondering how many years of professional experience you have?

Thank you! I actually have less than a year of professional experience - I got my undergrad degree in June of last year!
