I have heard from a few people that the schools do communicate (I haven't verified this, however), as they are concerned in preserving their yields as high as possible

but yes, would definitely be nice if MIT let us know a little sooner in the same ballpark as the other programs for R1

I am from eastern Europe, desperately waiting for an invite, checking my mail box every few seconds. However, I don't think we'll have anything before Thursday.... I guess there are still invites pending for US and I doubt there will be any before they send all those out. But yeah... it's definitely a tough wait... Yesterday I re-read all my essays trying to figure out whether I still have any chances (I tend to think everything else is ok). Stupid, I know. I'd rather work on round 2 essays, but that is soo dam hard now...

I know how you feel. I live in Kenya and I still haven't heard anything. All we can do is cross our fingers and hope for the best.

I'm a little confused - how would that help yield? If MIT waits till you know if you got into Kellogg (example), how does that change why/why not they invite you for an interview? To help yield, it seems like they'd rather you NOT get into Kellogg to increase the chance of you accepting MIT. But if following that logic, I would not want the "rejects" of another school....

For what it's worth, Fuqua just released their interview invites last week so MIT is not alone in the late interview strategy.

I find this highly unlikely. A higher ranked school has no incentive to share their invite/admit info with a lower ranked school, since a high percentage of applicants would choose the higher ranked school if they were admitted to both. (And yes I realize not everyone chooses solely on rank, but I think you'll find a very high correlation between rank and the school people choose when admitted to multiple schools)

In addition, it breaks privacy policies and laws. If such a thing were to ever get out, schools would be in huge trouble.

I think you should retake the GMAT, just to be sure it's not an issue ;-)

I live in DC and just got my invite as well. 11:13 AM EST. Good luck to everyone! It's so interesting how they do this regionally.

Hm interesting, I live in DC as well and got an invite last week. I'm sure these things are regional, but perhaps not as black/white as we initially though?

California is still in dark, no invite so far reported. BTW, MIT is conducting some admission sessions in San Francisco in the first week of Jan.

Congratulations!

Anyone knows if invites are given by nationality or by current location?

I guess it's by location, so they can properly arrange the interview sessions.
