kks, this is an extract from the MIT's FAQ
Is an interview required?
Interviews are by invitation only and may be conducted in person, by video, or phone, depending on availability of the applicant and interviewer. Our goal is to interview all candidates accepted into our programs. An invitation to interview thus signals that your application has reached an advanced stage of consideration, but does not guarantee admission. Arrangements and detailed information will be provided if an interview request is extended to you.
What types of questions are asked during the interview?
Interviews are composed of behavior and résumé questions — be prepared to be asked about past teamwork experience and how you handle real-life situations, provide specific examples, and show your passion for the program and your goals.
Is there a preference from MIT’s perspective on how to conduct the interview (in person or online)?
Interviews will be done over the phone or on Skype. We do not have a preference, as it is whatever is most convenient for you.
What percent of interviewed applicants are admitted?
About 50 percent of interviewed applicants are admitted.

Is anyone having his interview with Kim Ebeling? Mine is with her the 14th.
For those who have had their interview already, would very much appreciate any comments.

She was quite friendly, but seemed to have a list of questions from which to pick and was writing down notes as I spoke.
Seemed like she had some sort of a form to fill in? Not sure if its standard or just written up before the interview.
FYI please call the admissions office if you are unable to connect via skype. There were some technical problems when I called.
And yes they read your application before the interview.
Results on 14th March. (If I remember correctly)

Is English your second language or were you just nervous?
Do not worry. I had an interview a month ago for another program and thought it went poorly. I ended up being accepted and getting a nice scholarship on top of it.
