Hi

I received an invite for interview for MIT-Legatum scholarship yesterday, but i have not received invite for the graduate program. Please let me know the significance of this invite even though the invite mentions that it is not an indication of acceptance in to the graduate school. I chose Mar 27 for the interview, would it affect my interview call to the graduate program in any way, should i reschedule it to an earlier date to up my chances for the invite to MIT graduate program?

Thanks

it's just about 2 weeks away from the decision date. I have the feeling that Sloan is over for me.

Yes, this is very odd. R1 applicants that were offered admission have to reply by this Friday, March 23rd, so I wonder if they are waiting to see how many accept before sending out some interview invites? That would only give one week to conduct the interviews, though, and that doesn't seem like enough time. Not sure what to think.

Hey guys... has anyone from Boston gotten a round 2 invite? I'm a concurrent degree student (with Harvard Kennedy School) who hasn't received an invite yet and I'm getting worried.

MIT adcoms specifically said that they do invite for interviews until the last day, they may also do some interviews after the deadline!
There is thus still a little hope, even though I think these last minute invites are probably rare.

I saw that in the chat too. I wish they would've qualified their statement by saying "while we do send invites until the deadline, it's highly rare to receive an invitation within 2 weeks" or "we do send out a good number of invites all the way up to the deadline" so we'd at least know which end of the spectrum it is...even though I think it's the former. It just felt like they were creating a lot of false hope. As a west coast applicant, I figured my time was up when the SFO spots were filled.

Does anyone think it would help to write the adcom and reiterate interest? I had my interview a couple of weeks ago and didn't think it went too hot. I sent my interviewer a thank you note that was a little lengthier than the notes I sent to my interviewers at other schools, but I'm wondering if there's anything else worth doing. How much does the interview matter at Sloan anyways?

Hey sorry to hear about the interview. Hopefully it's not as bad as you thought - we are our own worst enemies! I thought I seriously bombed another school interview and still got in with scholarship, so hope the same works out for you!

That said, I'm not sure how much a note just to reiterate interest would help, unless you have something new or interesting to share. Since it's been a few weeks since your interview, maybe there's a new development at work/ECs that you could use as your "reason" but also slide in there how interested you are after speaking with more current students/alums.

My understanding is that interviews are pretty important - and that goes for every school. What top 20 school doesn't weigh the interview heavily?? It's all about gauging fit. They only admit 50-60% of interviewed applicants (similar to HBS, etc) so it's not just gesture but a definite screen.

Hope it works out! Others care to weigh in?

I'll spare the gory details of my interview, but I basically walked out going "what the @#$%". My interviewer was one tough cookie. I meant more how important is the interview when it's evaluated with the rest of your application at Sloan... if it didn't go well, could other really stellar areas of your application make up for it? Or does a bad interview equal instant ding? My sense is that it varies from school to school but honestly, what do I know?

Sadly, we'll probably never know how it all works. I'm surprised there's no ex-adcom spill all book. Wait, no...they become "consultants" and charge kids $3K+ for their secret sauce.

Anyways, to make it even more complicated, we're probably not just evaluated by our own merits but also if adcom thinks they need another ibanker, non-profit, certain gender/race, etc.

I also had an interview that I thought I totally bombed at another school. When I walked out of the interview I pretty much had the same reaction as you. It turns out I got accepted...I think it is really hard to predict and I think a lot of times we are a lot harder on ourselves than the interviewer probably is (at least I am). So while I thought the interview was terrible, it was probably mediocre. I think the interview for the most part (unless you say or do something that shows a complete lack of fit) is just another data point like your essays, gmat, gpa, etc. I know it is easier said than done, but try not to dwell on it.

So true! After seeing the poets & quants data on how few non-top 25 undergraduates get accepted into HBS & Wharton, I'm a little surprised they haven't been sued yet for falsely presenting a sense of equal opportunity.
