MIT MFin MIT MFin Admission Discussion

[Marcus Love Quant]

no, you won't be asked to share your screen but the test platform may track if you shift tabs etc(you never know!), but otherwise you just need to turn on webcam. It's a 20 mins test, relax.

Thanks bro! You mean the platform will track? Isn't it just Zoom we're testing on? Besides, I thought the test is 30 mins, is it just 20 mins?

 

[NickNick]

I don't think they'd give a high weight anyway given how easy it would be to cheat

Lol, last time I checked Zoom was still just a video conference platform. The actual test is on a different platform, zoom is just to monitor you. Yeah, the actual test is 20 mins. 15 mins quant and 5 mins coding. Guys, chill out, you're overthinking now. You wouldn't even need 20 mins to finish the test(maybe 10 is enough). All you need to do is relax and not panic. The only way you'd mess up is by stressing too much and not reading the questions properly. You can thank me later, for now, just chill. Don't panic!

Thanks for your kind words bro! So the platform is Canvas I heard?

I don't think anyone's going to risk jeopardizing their application by cheating on a 20 minute assessment that probably doesn't even matter that much.

Can someone please share their interview experience?

 

[Chanandler_Bong]

I guess all interviews are done... good luck to everyone!

 

[David Liam]

Good luck to everyone guys, hope you all the best

AFAIK some are gonna take their interview in a few hours. So it seems that the interview process is “almost” done (only last few students to interview). By info from previous years’ threads, admitted students are gonna be called by a number from Boston (start with 617) before the decision release date (March 11 this year). Best of luck to us all in the coming two weeks!

 

[jackinthebox]

Do you guys know if they'll call all admitted students around the same time or some will get notified earlier, while others later?

 

[Chanandler_Bong]

AFAIK not all students get called

 

[asdfghjkl]

Guys best of luck!

 

[Natashapp]

Do you know anybody who has received an offer without being called?

 

[Chanandler_Bong]

Yeah...

 

[xmdd]

Yeah...

Do you know was it the case that they weren’t called at all or the case that they missed the call? Not to be snarky, just curious.

 

[Chanandler_Bong]

The former, but anw don't overthink it guys!

but that info about ‘the call’ was confirmed for anyone at their interviews? They just told me the decision date is on March 11 (period).

Is that a ding?

I don't think they're going to ding you during the interview. Pretty sure that the admissions team does a final review of all the applications.

I think they all just mentioned the decision date of March 11. The call was from previous years’ threads and not from some official source. Chill down and best of luck to us all!!

Hey guys, wanted to understand whose first choice is MIT?
