MIT MFin MIT MFin Admission Discussion

besides these previous mistakes, it is possible that they may interview around 200 students in China this year ( at least 140). this is an estimate from someone in chasedream. (60 to 70 slots in each city per week)

Yes, that might be possible. But I would believe that the situation would be same in previous years as well.

Also, even if you plug in china's numbers and take out the redundant numbers, count would be close to 300-320, which I believe is insufficient if they have to roll out 170-180 offers.

If you go through last year's thread, people received offers till as late as 11th Feb.

So, I would assume that a few more offers are still on the table.

i dont want to kill everyone's hope. i somewhat agree with you that there will be very few more (very small). in fact, i believe they already review all applications at this point. so now if they feel some interviews are too bad and decide to invite a few more, they may do so next week. honestly, no one really knows until feb 16th. the chance now just seems so slim. i saw you living in India now. i really hate to tell you this: they seem to send all invites in one wave for non-on-campus interviews (definitely the case in China).

Ya, obviously that makes sense because people need to make travel arrangements to meet the interviewer because he/she would also be in a city for a limited period. Having said that, I still believe there are 100 odd invites still pending. Maybe all for US or a very few for other locations as well.

Anyhow, none of this is in our control. So, better to relax and wait

LOL, i believe same would be the situation of everyone who hasn't received an invite.
By the way, if you don't mind me asking, are you a chinese candidate?

I am Chinese but a US permanent resident.

 

[ritesh chopra]

oh ok. Then you have a better chance of still receiving an invite :p
All the best!

 

[therakc]

WOW man that's cool !ATB ! Looks like you are in for sure one last thing : were any slots left or completely packed @ bombay ..

 

[fk jr]

@inlondon could you please give us an update on how many slots are taken for London? Moreover, I would find it weird, if they sent only 40 invitations for London out of 1500-1600 applications (estimate).

 

[Drk]

@fk jr there are 2 free spots in london (16-19.02)

 

[fk jr]

@Drk thank you for the reply! could you please check, how many slots are there in total for all interview locations? Adcom claims, that they interview 1/3 of the applicant pool, which should be slightly over 500.

 

[Drk]

@fk jr

i have no idea. i can see only london, and there are ~50 slots.
