MIT MFin MIT MFin Admission Discussion

Hi Harrys,
Correct, 21st of Jan.

 

[Andy Nguyen]

Please add your timelines to the Tracker, guys. That would really help us out with tracking when to expect interviews invitation and results.

Hi Abdullah, i have a similar situation. I have to travel from India to Shanghai. The current students (and adcom) told me an in-person interview is highly recommended. They were like until and unless it's impossible to interview in person it's better not to ask for a skype interview.

Duly noted Andy (Also, thank you for this great website!)

And I agree with the current students, mfeaspirant. An in-person interview is definitely better than Skype. But given job/budget/visa circumstances, it is extremely difficult.

Guys I am so worried, I still haven't heard anything from them yet...
I wonder what does it mean ?
Anyone familiar with the MIT admission process??

I attended their chat a few days back and they said they'll be sending invites till 14th Feb. But they also mentioned that they have sent 'quite a few' invites already.

according to their blog, they'll be sending out interview requests periodically util 2/14. I guess if you don't get anything by 2/14 then you are getting rejected.

Hi , if someone got interview invitation, does that mean that the admission will no longer look at his GMAT/GPA/ , instead they will only consider the interview ?

Don't worry!!!! If you had gotten the invitation, You would have worried about whether in person interview or skype interview, then whether u will get admitted, then whether you will picked up by Goldman Sachs of the world ....then... then. Worrying is an endless loop. Take it easy

Anyone interested in a campus tour on Tuesday and/or sharing a hotel room? I'm staying at the Omni Parker House. It takes 8 minutes to get to the Sloan building by public transit.

Got invitation for interview too ,
I am wondering , what type of questions will be ? and will they ask us to write an Essay explaining any weakness in the application ?

Not quite. Getting an interview is assurance that you do not have a bad GMAT or GPA, as MIT will just toss those barring no exceptional circumstances in the application. But being better at interviewing doesn't mean you'll get in over the guy with a 780 GMAT and relatively poor social skills.

Did anyone get an interview invite today?

Are you doing MFin at MIT now?

 

[Wisdom]

I think, this is a test for the applicants, the fee of their program is expensive, thus, they can check your balance by whether you can pay the fee once you get the admission. Haha.

 

[Wisdom]

In, their websites, they say,
The Admissions Team will begin sending MFin interview invitations starting tomorrow, January 21st and will continue to send them periodically through Friday, February 14th. If you are not invited for an interview, you will receive a final decision from us by February 14th. We request that applicants do not email the Admissions Committee inquiring about their interview invitation status. We understand that this is a stressful time for applicants and we very much appreciate your patience.

And now, I don't receive an invite. A little bit hopeless for me, I want to have a nice Spring Festival, but it seems a very stressful Festival.
