thats exactly what it is i think. they started popping up on feb 14 which is the date on mit website that says...if dont get invite for interview by then u will get rejection notice instead of waiting till march 10

kinda decent in a way

 

[BigN]

[Trudy Pham]

so nervous. I asked them for early decision because my reply due date for other programs is before March 10, but they said No...

Same for me. Guess just have to wait and be patient. Good luck to you!

Any one know :
1- What is the class size of next year ?
2- How many people were invited to interview ?
3- Any early decision or " hint " by the admission !

1. Was 124 and 127 last two years, and the size has been continuously increasing, so I guess at least 127. (# of admitted was 175 during the last two years.)
2. MIT said three times the # of admitted were invited to interview last year, so assuming increased number of applicants, about 3~4 times the # of admitted.
3. Absolutely no early decision or "hint".

 

[Akshat Sinha]

Yeah but the yield rates will definitely be better this time due to the in persona interview. I am not sure whether they will factor this in their calculations when announcing the results.

If I had to place bets I would put the number at around 150 admits, assuming a modest 10% improvement in yield.

3. Absolutely no early decision or "hint".

Considering there is only one round of interview, I expect the number of applicants to decrease substantially; let's not forget that throughout the years, MIT held two rounds of interviews - and sometimes three.

Dear All,

One week before the official decisions (and phone calls) from MIT's AdCom. I was wandering if anyone knows if a wait-list exists for this program instead of just a YES or NO.

1) Anyone here has any experience/knowledge if such a list exists?
2) I assume if MIT does not call on March 10th you are OUT?

Regards,

Did anyone get any replay on Thank you e-mail ?

 

[Zerocool]

Did anyone get any replay on Thank you e-mail ?

From AdCom? Nope.

From AdCom? Nope.

same no answer

 

[Trudy Pham]

same no answer

I sent my interviewer (not the general AdCom email address) a Thank You email the day after, and she responded right away, but nothing could be considered a hint at all.

 

[aaronhotchner]

Maybe I'm not following your question, but you asked if MIT has a waitlist, and you don't want a yes or no answer to a yes or no question?

The answer is yes, by the way.

 

[Zerocool]

I meant if MIT has a waitlist and how does it work since the beginning of the program is so early (July 14)

 

[fe app]

someone put up on the tracker that they got into MIT on feb 12? bs?

 

[Finance Applicant]

Did anyone get any replay on Thank you e-mail ?

I got a reply after sending a thank you email.

I sent it to my interviewer too.
