violet03 Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Hello! Has anyone applying to MIT IDM R1 heard something back already? Good luck to everybody! Fingers-Xed 1
TheMostPowerfulApplicant Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 I applied to MIT SDM and got interview invite today.
coffeecat Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Applied to MIT IDM, haven't heard anything yet.
yinjwang Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Same as above, although my app fee only just went through on 2/16.
AspiringDesigner Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Hey, I applied to IDM as well. Haven't heard back either. Although, one of my recommenders has been extremely busy, and should be sending in the letter this week. Anyone here who has received an interview invite ?
Ramemo Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 I also applied. Everything submitted before the R1 deadline, but my app wasn't marked complete until 2/7 when I emailed to ask about it. Good luck, everyone! Fingers-Xed 1
SolderBob Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 I submitted my IDM application on Jan 20 2017, got a 'application under consideration' email on 2/2, saying that I'll hear back int he next 6 weeks. Waiting to hear since then.
Fingers-Xed Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Glad to find this forum and fellow IDM-Applicants! Likewise, applied for R1: Submitted on 1/20 Payment Cleared on 1/25 Email saying "wait for 6 weeks" received on 1/27. The post on "http://thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=MIT+IDM" is concerning, how that applicant got an invitation for interviews, but for a program like this, very much worthwhile waiting. To ease the tension as we wait, shall we share which of the three backgrounds we come from? I am applying for a Business-section of the cohort.
SolderBob Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 I got to know through a friend who's attending IDM right now, that they have an adcom meeting every Thursday. So we might get to hear something later this week The wait is nerve-wrecking. What other programs did you apply to?

I see, good to hear that various individuals would be looking at our application and our portfolios. I did hear that they had record-breaking number of applications this term, something like "more in R1 than all rounds combined last year." Hopefully we can make the cut! I applied to UPenn (Accepted) and Stanford (Expected to hear back sometime this or next week). How about you?

In that case, the R1 result might get more delayed.. Congratulations on your admit! I haven't applied to any other program. Will continue with my career trajectory if I'm not able to make the cut. Hope for the best Fingers-Xed 1
coffeecat Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Only now just got my "Application complete" email saying that I will hear back within 6 weeks, even though I submitted well before the deadline. So there's that...

indio Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Hi guys, I am in the same position than you... I applied in December but my checklist was completely marked during February! I believe they were not expecting that amount of people and it exceeded their capacity.

Great to see someone be accepted, while we are waiting for the sibling program. How was the interview process like? Could you shed some light for us?

Expand It is indeed killing, great choice of word I found that interesting as well, as I combined two of my portfolios into one PDF (as directed by the admissions coordinator when I asked), and submitted that. Apparently some people opted to present their portfolios online, or directed them to their website for other reasons? I think thats a smart move though, as you can gain some insight on who visited your webpage when, just to keep track..
