I reached out to the group contact for Personal Robots and she said she didn't know details about the timeline but in previous years she said they sent out results close to the end of February. Another colleague of mine who applied last year said her interview request (different group) came around Jan 18th. I know it differs per group but it might seem we just need to keep waiting for the time being Thisisit 1

I also have absolutely no idea on how people usually handle these situations and if there's a right or wrong way to go. I mean, I just filled out the application and sent it. Should I know people in the program? Should I have been in contact with the institution for years? Should I be manifesting getting in the media lab all day and all night and sacrifice my firstborn? No idea! Woooooooo! I feel you! I read in the previous year's posts that people had been contacting group admins. There should be a support group for everyone who is waiting. Certainly quite an anxious period! flaeran and Thisisit 2

fallinginstars Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 Got an email from the professor of a group I didn't list on my application...asked me to email over a research portfolio (didn't submit one with my app) if I was interested in their group. Don't know if this is maybe a good sign? Will update as I get more info! aparameter, flaeran and g0nutz 3

fallinginstars Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 Thanks all! No idea if this will progress any further, but I sent over a portfolio so we'll see! For anyone wondering the group is nano-cybernetic biotrek! g0nutz 1

Thisisit Posted January 19, 2022 Posted January 19, 2022 Disclaimer: THIS WAS A DREAM, NOT TRYING TO GET ANYONE'S HOPES UP So, I had a super stressful dream last night where the PI of the group I applied for, had replied to my application, breaking it down and making notes on everything that wasn't stated as it should, according to them. In the end they asked me to make a decision and tell them how I think we should continue. aparameter and g0nutz 2

SewSew Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 Anybody heard back from future sketches or TM?
0001 Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 I just got an interview offer email from TMG and the mail is written by Professor Ishii, though the email account is TMG admin. SeanK, aparameter, g0nutz and 3 others 6

gullyboy Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 I mailed to Fluid Interfaces Admin, this is the reply I got Thanks so much for your interest in the Fluid Interfaces research group! We are in the beginning stages of the admissions process at the Media Lab currently. If you are invited to interview with a group it will be before 14 Feb 2022.

gullyboy Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) Did anyone else hear back for interviews? Edited January 28, 2022 by gullyboy
fakechris Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 I received an interview invite from the camera culture group flaeran, Thisisit, 0001 and 1 other 3 1
SewSew Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 I’m guessing that by this point, all interview invites have been sent out.
0001 Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) For those who applied to Fluid Interfaces group, I think they are starting to send the invitation email(or maybe just finished). I wrote an email directly to the PI early this month and she replied today. (didn't get an interview invite but the PI suggested to contact other groups after seeing my portfolio) Edited January 28, 2022 by 0001 Thisisit and flaeran 2
