Hello, From what I understand 1. The intent is to bring your application to life, so 'fresh stories' are not necessarily needed, clarity on how you acted in that situation, what was tough, how you reflected etc. (the real behaviour) matters more. Top tip pause after concise reply and let the conversation be followed up with deeper questions, to bring out the leadership and team work aspects out 2. That said, if you have had something significant happen after you applied, playing that fresh story would show progress and would be in positive light

Hi All, just curious, wonder is there is any guidance about whether they only expect "fresh stories" when answering behavioral questions in the interview, or was repeating some of the stories/anecdotes acceptable?

Think so, why should they call some if not all?

Did you also apply?

My interviewer was Dawna L.
You see her in many MIT Admission related videos.

Congrats to all the Admits!

I guess its the end of the road for me, as Asia calls would have gone out first thing in the morning. Do the official emails go out at 2pm EST?
