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.

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.

Nope, it is sacres to them to release the decision exactly on March 5, 2018. No way to know before. It is unfortunate, but all we can do is wait. Try to occupy your mind with something superficial/leisure-esque. Its hard though, all I can think of is this admission process.

Same here. The wait is just unbearable. I know they most likely already made all the decisions this week and they are waiting to release them next Monday, but part of me really wish they would just tell us now lol. Good luck to everyone!

Anyone thinking of watching Black Pather a second time to distract oneself from the anxiety?

On the contrary, watching the movie would just remind you once more of MIT :P.

M.I.T. alumni include Otto Octavius (who graduated at the top of his class),[1]Tony Stark (who joined an undergraduate program at the age of fifteen and majored in physics and electrical engineering),[2]Sunset Bain (who seduced Stark into revealing the security codes for Stark Industries),[3]Morley Erwin (who gained masters in electrical engineering),[4]Erik Killmonger (PhD in Engineering and Master of Business Administration),[5]Jeanne Foucault (who graduated at age of fourteen)[6]

I guess they would call like they used to in the past. Because I heard that people in China who got accepted got the call
