indio Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Two days left... At this point, I guess that the ones who were rejected are going to receive the confirmation this Friday... akhilm1991 1
SolderBob Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Folks! Do not worry. I called the IDM office few hours back to confirm my interview schedule. The admissions officer told me they haven't sent out many admits until now. So I guess you guys shouldn't really worry aj17 and akhilm1991 2

This process is so emotionally draining! I just wish they would release us quicker haha. Anyway, there is always next year! Congrats on your interview SolderBob, I'm sure it will go great.

As per my communication with the admissions office, majority of invitations are YET to be sent out. So, keep your fingers crossed! Also, you can call the IDM office and ask for your status. Folks there are very helpful, and as per my experience, this wouldn't negatively impact your odds

akhilm1991 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Anybody got into any of the other 3 related programs? CMU MIIPS, Northwestern EDI or UPenn IPD?

I had applied to CMU MA followed by MDes .. Got through that! Integrated MIIPS as a program is different from idm.. You trying to study design thinking?

You trying to study design thinking? Oh is it.. The curriculum looks similar, and all of those 4 programs are part of some 'Integrated design innovation consortium', so had assumed they were similar.. Yes, for design thinking https://www.cmu.edu/integrated-innovation/degrees/miips/index.html

Amit37 Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Except for a single interview invite reported here, does anyone know of any other instance of interview invites? One of the current students told me that the process goes on for a long time.

One of the current students told me that the process goes on for a long time. I personally know 3 very strong candidates who applied to IDM. None has heard back yet. However, one of them wrote to the admissions coordinator last week and got this reply: Hi ABC, Thank you for your patience. We received many more applications than we expected in round one so our process is moving a bit slower than anticipated. Your application is still under review and we hope to be in touch soon! Best, Lesley
indio Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 For those who have received the "Documents complete" message on February 7th, today is the 6 weeks deadline they mentioned. Let's see... SolderBob 1
