Calling all MIT Sloan 2008 applicants

i am a r1 applicant

Can all those who interviewed share their interview experience?

I am in it too...

When is the deadline ? I may join you guys ..

Jan 15, man... It's a tough nut to crack... given its multi-dimensional essays on impact, challeging interaction, defense, execution... + that crazy cover letter (well, I doubt that we will have to market ourselves with such a cover letter after we graduate)...

Hi guys from Europe/Germany,
did anyone get an invite yet? Where and when are European interviews?

Multi dimensional suits me better, I have a lot of different type of work experiences. Trying to get NYU out of the way first. Will only apply if I can produce something compelling in the remaining time.

I envy you (with a good meaning of the word ), my man... I will have to fight on them... Maybe, not to apply?... Are there any guys who fought on them and won?

Hello from Munich. I applied R1 and haven't heard anything... yet.

I have my interview next week in Madrid. Interviews in Paris, London, Madrid, and Milan will happen next week, I don't remember if I could schedule for Frankfurt though.

Hi, I applied out of Mexico but I am currently in Germany. Does anyone know how many days in advance of the interview you receive the interview invitation?

i had between 9-11 days (i could choose between 3 days)

not much action here....me i still haven't received an invite for R1...

I'm in.

collegesenior,

When is the interview in Mumbai? Is it going to be the only HUB interview?

I am also an Indian applicant and havent heard from MIT. Does that mean that it's a DING?

Anyone else has any inputs?

T

It sounds like R1 European hub interviews are under way this week. Can anybody confirm? Any info about whether this week is it?

I'm heading Madrid tomorrow, and if I can remember correctly, later only Milano.

My interview is next wed, I tell you guys how it went on Thursday night when I'm back!

GOOD LUCK Kwam!

Had my interview.

The interviewer was very kindly, and started explaning the process: after interview, all interviewed candidates will again be analyzed by the committee one week prior to final decision date, which she said is going to be realeased by e-mail late on the 28th.

Then she asked about my career progression, about the school I did, and some other questions.

Later around some 5 to 6 questions like:
Tell me about a time you mentor someone;
Tell me about when you set a goal and achieve it;
A time I worked with a diverse team, etc

Then the classical why MBA and why MIT.

Finally she oppened for questions:
I asked some things I wanted to know such as: international visas within USA, how is going the placement within financial industry after the credit crunch, and other things.

This interview is not a killer, but is not easy also, they ask about very specific things, and as they read beforehand your essays, they want new things, so you must come up with things outside the essays.

I had some problems to get to the interview place and arrived around 5 min late. Also I don't think I did great, I think I did just ok, which is not fine in my point of view. For those who are going to interview, prepare yourself, use the STAR method, which I forgot to use during the interview, and stay calm.

Good Luck Everybody!
