MIT MFin MIT MFin Admission Discussion

[Rafael F]

Good attitude to have! I would forget about this for a while then. Seeing people here post the high GRE scores cause my anxiety (good job guys!)

Thats the right thing to do actually.. Forget it and hopefully get a surprise invitation at some point. But we all know its difficult not to get anxious !! haha

After all, its the MIT we are talking about

All the very best to everyone awaiting interview call from MIT.

INFO from mitadmissions.com website:

• Interviews are by invitation only and are a requirement for admission.
• Interview invitations will begin going out on Monday, January 23rd and will continue to be sent on a rolling basis. We make every effort to send interview invitations at least 1 week prior to your interview date. The timing of your interview invitation is not a reflection of the strength of your candidacy. It’s about ensuring the quality and consistency of reviews and to ensure things go smoothly with interview sign-ups.
• Interviews will be held from January 30 – February 22.
• Interviews will be conducted in person in several key locations around the globe including Cambridge MA, London, Mumbai, Santiago, Singapore, Beijing, and Shanghai.
• Candidates who are invited to interview will sign up for a 45-minute to 1-hour time block and will meet with 1-2 interviewers.
• The interview will consist of both a behavioral assessment and a career assessment.

First interview dates should have been out by now. Can anyone post an update?


EDIT: someone (Anon) updated their status on the tracker. Interview on 31st Jan.

Any news?

 

[rickwoo]

Do you know if the interview is technical, any quant notions required ?

 

[rickwoo]

Is the interview technical, or just BEI ?

You got invited? I don't know but I think it's behavioral. Read the first post in this thread for more info about that. I'm surprised that so far, only 1 person on this forum got invited, and only 1 got rejected. The next 2 weeks are key, based on previous years.

Best of luck with your interview.

Most likely not. When did you get invited btw?

Best of luck to you.

Thanks for opening this I believe they will send out invites based on preferred location - i.e., first to those who chose Cambridge MA, then China, India and later on Europe.
By the way, where are you guys based?

 

[rickwoo]

Thank you, I will have the interview at Cambridge MA, good luck for all of you

nothing yet...based on last year's schedule, they should be sending invites for London at the beginning of February -> check the discussion here: https://www.quantnet.com/threads/mit-mfin-class-of-2016-applications.19097/page-6

 

[xfagel]

Looks like 3 people received interview requests in London. (See Tracker)
will more invites be sent out for London? Would be nice to know the slots left still.

 

[AAPLYMFIN]

Does anyone know if all the Cambridge invites have already been sent out?
