MIT Media Lab Fall 2025

The interviews were just for critical matter group and they were just the first round. I also applied to tangible media but have yet to receive an interview request. According to the PI critical matter group received the most applicants out of all groups.

Thanks for the insights and sharing this! I considered applying to Critical Matter as a third choice, so I’m glad they’re getting so much interest! Hope the interview went well!

Hi everyone! Quick question - has anyone reached out to the specific admissions team directly for the team you applied and gotten any response? I'm still waiting to hear back. And besides Critical Matter (thanks @unique for the update!), has anyone received interview requests from other research groups? They must be overburdened with a lot of emails.

Just trying to get a sense of the timeline across different groups...as the waiting intensifies!

@babydesigner congrats that is awesome! did you interview already, or did you just get a request to interview?

@babydesigner, bro, could you please tell me your profile, or can you give me your LinkedIn, whatever you want to share? I also applied for the fluid interface, multisensory, and camera culture lab and am a little anxious. I don't receive any interview from their side.

Hi! i got a request to interview. 
Sorry, not too comfortable sharing my profile or any details at the moment. Will post an update after everything has wrapped up.

Has anyone heard if Conformable Decoders or Synthetic Neurobiology has sent out interview invites?

Has anyone heard back from Personal Robots or Tangible Media? I haven’t received anything so far and I’m losing hope 🥺
