SolderBob Posted March 16, 2017 Share 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 akhilm1991 and aj17 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amit37 Posted March 21, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!
