It does actually. If all those not invited for interviews will definitely get a final decision by the 6th then one can deduce that those who don't hear anything by the 6th are definitely invited for the interview. Congrats fellas, we all invited ?

after reading carefully what they say on the website and blog I think that more invites can be sent in the following days.

Website:
Interviews are by invitation only. Our goal is to interview all candidates accepted into our programs. An invitation to interview thus signals that your application has reached an advanced stage of consideration, but does not guarantee admission.

Blog:
If you are not invited for an interview, you will receive a final decision from us by March 6th. We appreciate your patience as you wait for your decision.

It doesn't say anything that ALL the invites are going to be out by today.

We all got automatically accepted :)
Statistically at least a few guys in the forum should get a ding letter today. If someone get one and I won't, I'll pop a champagne :)

Actually this doesn't look good. Invites have usually gone out by this hour. I can only imagine what's coming next is the standardised ding mail at eod.

Yeah, but I guess that today is unlike every other day.
I really can't understand why it takes them so long to send interview invitations/dings ?
Harvard has twice the amount of applicants and they gave back answers over a month ago

I mean, it is pretty clear that there are some dramatic differences between the type of "application experience" MIT wants people to have compared to those of other top schools. I cannot imagine I am the only one who has picked up on this...

I don't mean this in a negative way at all...
But, the super tricky essay prompts, the letter of recommendation for yourself, the specific resume template so you have to do a separate one for Sloan, and then this bit about how invites are released. I don't think it is set up to be very user friendly. I think it is meant to be much more rigorous to thin out the field of applicants to those who are really serious...
It may be a better way to go, but I think it is this way by design.

Maybe because MIT actually reads your essays and profile vs HBS that profiles based on gpa/gmat?



Just a guess. The number of readers seem to be the same.

Did not get an email, but logged into MIT application - there is a decision (reject) letter there.
