I saw a few interview invite updates on the grad cafe results page. Don't know about their credibility though. I hope we get to hear something by this weekend! BTW, I have dropped a mail to the adcom already, regarding the timeline of results. Let's see what do they say.

SolderBob Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 So I got this reply from the admissions coordinator: "Hi xxxx, Thanks for your patience. We have received an unprecedented number of applications this time, and are currently evaluating round 1 applications. We have already started sending out a few interview invitations. Kindly do not worry, you will hear back from us soon." Well, how soon is "soon"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akhilm1991 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) Just got this reply from the admissions office (sent a note to their fb page) ? Looks like today the last set of invites would be rolled out to applicants from round 1? Hello, Candidates are invited for an interview on a rolling basis from about 1 week after the deadline through about 8 weeks after the deadline. Final notifications will be sent our about 8 weeks after March 10. Thank you! Edited March 10, 2017 by akhilm1991 Corrections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolderBob Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Hi everyone! I think writing to the adcom paid off I got an email a few hours back with an interview invite with the adcom. No info on who's the interviewer though. I think many more invites would be emailed during the next week. All the Best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am an Engineer with 4 years of experience across traditional corporate and social entrepreneurship in Asia and Australia. GRE 169/162/4 Q/V/AW. IELTS 7.5 Had my undergrad project at MIT Media Labs (got one rec from the supervisor there). Other two recs from the Director of an MNC and another Prof from undergrad university. Fairly strong SOP and LORs. More than anything, I think my writing to the admissions coordinator at IDM led to hearing back earlier than others. Hope that helps.

As far as I know, IDM is an inter-disciplinary program between Sloan and the school of engineering at MIT and is often touted as a sister program of SDM, more geared towards creating leaders in hardware product space.

aj17 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I had also written to the idm team last week and they replied saying they should "hopefully have an update for you by the end of next week" That means process is still continuing!! Man they must have received a lot of applications SolderBob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
