Why interviewed by MIT for Masters in Mechanical Engg. before admit?

[ideepaks]

Hi all!

I'm an international applicant from India at MIT and recently received a mail for interview. My interviewed was scheduled to be for 30 mins but ended in 15 mins. Any idea about why the interview was consucted at the first place? Is it for RAship and does that mean they're ready to admit me atleast without any scholarship. Any sort of clue will be appreciated.

 

Thanks!
