MIT MFin MIT MFin Admission Discussion

Is there any basis on which some people are sent interview invites before others? I had a look at a few old MIT MFin threads here at QN, and this person on one of these was wondering if the strongest applicants receive invites early.

I'm trying to determine if there's a particular underlying logic behind the order in which invites are dispatched.
Could be the case given that they only had a single deadline this time. which post are you referring to?
 
Congrats on getting the interview! are there any spots left in cambridge? This waiting is killing me >_<

If you look at the interview dates from last year, there were some people from Canada and Latin America who got interviews around the 20-27th of February. Assuming that people from Canada or Latin America (that person was from Ecuador I think) gets interviewed at Cambridge as well, there should at least be one more round at the campus.

Hang in there!

Seems like there are not many chances left :( but thanks a lot for the information!
 
Let's have a quick analysis and check whether the remaining ones are going to receive anything.

London - 40 Slots
Mumbai - 30 Slots
Shanghai - 30 Slots
NewYork - 30 Slots
Paris - 30 Slots
Cambridge - 40 Slots
Singapore - 20 Slots

In Total - 220 Slots

Which implies they will send more invites as they admitted 175 last time and must have interviewed atleast 250. But the second thing is the adcom told me that we will receive the final reply by 16th feb.

Correct me if i did some mistake.

I think we missed Cambridge, which could be 80-100. So we can reach 250 using that.

But I believe they would have interviewed more than 250 people for 175 offers.

What percent of interviewed applicants are admitted?
For the MFin Class of 2015, approximately one-third of interviewed applicants were admitted.

besides these previous mistakes, it is possible that they may interview around 200 students in China this year ( at least 140). this is an estimate from someone in chasedream. (60 to 70 slots in each city per week)
