I need some inputs based on my interview ...
On the day of the interview, I called the Hotel early in the morning to confirm my Interview. However a record of this interview was not on their roster. Apprehensive about the interview location and considering that there was a prior change in interview location from Place A to this hotel which was communicated to me by email, I reached an hour early after driving 50 miles. For the next 50 minutes, I checked multiple times with the front lobby but still a record of the interview still didnt exist. I contacted MIT admissions office inbetween who contacted the interviewer and confirmed the location. A person working for the hotel confirmed the interview just 5 minutes before the scheduled appointment. I am not clear if this person in the hotel failed to include this in the roster. I wonder why this process was not automated. Considering how selective MIT Sloan is for interview, I was anxious and did not want to miss this interview by not being in the right location at the right time and felt nervous during this time. Obviously I didnt perform as well as I had hoped to. I missed out even basic facts that I had met the interviewer a couple of times earlier etc.
Over the last few months, I deliberated whether to bring this to MIT's attention. I didnt want to appear as complaining but at the same time I felt disadvantaged by the interview scheduling process and had to unnecessarily go out of my way to confirm the location instead of composing myself and my thoughts before an important interview.
What are your thoughts? Should I let MIT know?
Definitely don't call them. You mentioned the confusion at the interview itself and bringing it up again will only draw attention to it. MIT also changed my interview the week of. In my case it was the date/time, and not the location. Maybe they do a stress test? Just a thought.
