MIT MFin MIT MFin Admission Discussion

[sporthenry]

Does it matter if I do the interview in person or via skype??

Website says it doesn't. I'm sure they understand with international students but I would assume in person might be better b/c it might be less awkward.

Are they traveling to South America or is it just Boston or Skype?

 

[JUAN SERRANO]

They are coming to south america but just to Santiago, Chile. Since I am in Colombia, Boston might be easier, at least it is a cheaper flight and I will get to meet the campus.

Just to confirm, are there any US candidates who received interview calls yet ??

no

First post, so please excuse me if this is the wrong section.

I have done some Googling and looked through this forum, but the amount of interview advice is a bit sparse. Could anyone please provide me with some advice as to what to expect? Thank you!

Thank you, Andy. I also started an application in the tracker to help some people out.

Andy Nguyen, MIT admitted somewhere around 175 last year, which is not updated on the wiki, but I read the number somewhere on this website

I updated the wiki. You can find the admission numbers for all programs on the resources home page

Congrats on the interview! You mentioned that you are from a state school... Is that within the U.S. ?

 

[kks]

Chenothy, thank you, and yes, I go to a state school in the US.

I received my e-mail on Monday around noon. I am located in the USA. Good luck to everyone else!

Seems like MIT sends out interview invites only on Mondays... Thoughts?

I haven't been paying that much attention but can't find anything to refute this. Seems like they open to internationals first since they have to travel but some US interviews are starting to trickle out. Perhaps they do more competitive students first or they give students a week to sign up and want to see how many slots remain? That is all just conjecture though.

But I guess I'll wait another week. At least with this info. I can stop blindly looking at my email throughout the day or checking my status despite it saying they won't update it. They also have a chat next week so I'm sure we'll learn a bit more where they stand after that.

Hey guys, who are your interviewers? Does anyone have Heidi Pickett?

I have Harriet Barnett. I am sure they are all the same in regards to what questions they ask and their friendliness.
