Hi Gayane! According to my link - there are no spots left. But maybe I do not see any after I have already registered myself.

Average time until final result is 71 days for MIT MFin. There are 20 pending cases in the Tracker with average 30 days so we would see more results in about 6 more weeks.

Good luck to all.

Thank you a lot! Dear Paul maybe you remember the approximate number of days you could chose from for your interview? Thanks in advance!

Gayane, you're welcome. There was only one day as it was stated in the application form.

Hello Jose,
I also applied this program and I chose to take the interview in Boston. I wonder whether for all the applicants who choose Boston will receive invites at the same day. I am very worried since right now I haven't heard from MIT.

Thanks!

Hi ZZZxx just saw that you updated the tracker so it must mean you received an interview invite.

Congrats and good luck!

I think average response time wouldn't matter much in this case as this is not a rolling admission process. As stated by MIT, they start reviewing all applications right after the deadline and it doesn't matter if you submitted the application 5,10 or 30 days before. All of us will have an answer on March 5th, 2018 and not on an earlier or later date. Unless MIT sends decision notifications prior, which I think hasn't been the case at all. Maybe this has changed.

Reject letters being sent out (just received mine). I'm a much more experienced candidate, so not a shocker (10 years since undergrad). Congrats to all who received invites, and good luck!

Doesn't look like you are alone @Keith Howard

 

[mark_bb]

Is there any stats of how many candidates in total are invited to interview?
Thx in advance!

Sorry for digging up an old thread, but I'm looking for advices on the interview. I did a lot of research on BEI for the behavior one, but I have no idea how to prepare for second one which focuses on "finance and career". Anyone have any experiences with this?

In my experience, it was mainly focused on talking about previous internship/work experience (types of projects you did there, your place within the team etc.) and future career aspirations. No technicals, there could be one or two market questions (simply don't remember that), but mostly behavioral.

Thank you so much! Yes I have read that Sloan mostly cares about past experience. What do they want to know in the "career aspiration" interview? Is this sort of like a "what is your goal after the program" kind of questions?

Yes As far as I remember it was jus, what area you want to go to afterwards and why, but yeah, it was mostly a talk about the past.

Thank you so much! I have been so nervous about the interview since I got the invitation. Any advices you have for the interview?

Just be able to in detail describe everything on your CV and know your story (why you need the program and what you wanna do afterwards). Also for the non-career one, be able to describe the cases, when you worked in the team and had a problem, when you were a leader and all this stuff. Good luck

Anyone heard back from MIT yet? I know they said decision will be made by March 5th so they will probably announce it on the day itself, but just curious to know if MIT admitted anyone early.
