MIT MFin MIT MFin Admission Discussion

[Sidharth Moktan]

I have a question about interview rounds at MIT and would appreciate your help. A few people here were talking about Round 1 and Round 2 interviews during last year's application cycle. Do the people invited to round 1 interview submit their applications earlier than those invited to round 2 interviews? Or does MIT take in all applications on one deadline and then assign applicants different interview rounds? I checked the MIT MFin website and couldn't find any information about rounds. All they have is a single deadline of Jan 5, 2015 by which all applications must be submitted. Can someone please shed some light on this?

They only have one dead line. They will start reviewing all the application after the dead line. As far as I know, there is no multiple rounds unlike UCB, CMU and etc

By when should I expect to get a reply regarding the application for the MIT MFin program? The deadline for the application was January 5 2015.

Hi. Their decision deadline is Mon, March 9, 2015. I understand they will start sending out interview calls as early as late January.

Take a look at the tracker: https://www.quantnet.com/tracker/. Look like interview will be in February (or last few days of January), with the decision in March. I imagine they will contact you for interview a week or so before the interview.

Did you already hear from the adcom?

 

[asianguy]

I haven't heard from the adcom either

 

[whatsisthename]

i believe most of us haven't
any idea when do they start scheduling interviews?

 

[asianguy]

Based on the tracker, the interview happens on the end of Jan to mid-Feb. Yet, I remember the adcom states that interview invitation will be sent from mid-Jan to Feb.

Did anyone attend the online session for the MFin program on the 7th of January...i.e. after the submission deadline. I believe they talked about replies, evaluations and other related stuff. As I missed it would someone be kind enough to enlighten me about the discussion there.

Thanks!

 

[whatsisthename]

also, has anyone been invited for an interview yet? thanks.

 

[asianguy]

Haven't heard anything. Has anyone received the invite?

 

[inlondon]

Had a talk with the adcom. They'll be sending out the invites beginning in February. Also for someone who is in the UK, they'll be visiting London for the interviews as well.
