Why are people attempting to correlate views on YouTube, LinkedIn and/or private sites with favorable odds of receiving an invitation to interview?

I think it's best to wait to worry if you don't hear anything until January 10th. The adcom is just looking at applications right now.

It's a hard wait though. So, I understand the concern.

Good luck to you all! I hope we all get to have a chance to do an interview on campus!

To be honest, I am having butterflies in my stomach right now.

See you guys on the other side (hopefully).

Am I missing something? LGO site says Jan 10.

LGO Interviews: selected candidates will be invited to the MIT campus for an interview. We hope to send out initial interview invitations by January 10, although you could receive an interview request later than that. Applicants are strongly encouraged to interview in person at MIT, but other solutions will be available if necessary (especially for international candidates).

Rumor has it that they will start sending out invitations today/tomorrow.

Fantastic, really glad to not have to wait another week. Man, they work hard to turn those around so fast, and during the holidays!

Where does that rumor stem from?

I know that last year invitations were sent out beginning on Jan 8, so the end of the first week of Jan seems reasonable

Well, last year invites were sent out Jan 8th but the date they had mentioned on the website to have sent them by was also Jan 8. No one mentioned getting an invite prior to that. Although many received their decisions prior to the deadline mentioned (1 March '16), upon receiving calls from their interviewers.

I did, thought it was fantastic. The professor who gave a talk, the alumni who came to discuss their careers, and the reception/dinners afterwards were all super helpful. After going, realized I couldn't think of a better program.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous.

I am super nervous and ready to be disappointed. My $200 app fee probably gone to waste :(

Even though I know that invites likely sent until around the 10th, I will be obsessively checking my email for the next week.

Fingers crossed! My long-distance partner has a post-doc offer from MIT, so it would be really awesome if he and I could finally end up in the same place.

Have interview invites ever been extended via phone or are they always sent via email?
