MIT MFin MIT MFin Admission Discussion

[Rajkranand]

Thanks for the information. So the 5 min coding test was a part of the 15 min quant test or what it separate?

I have to say that I think it's unfair @pretty new that you are providing such detailed information. I would have loved to know all this before I went in but I didn't. Sure you can provide some information but imo it should be pretty general stuff. Otherwise people that went first are at a disadvantage...

That’s a fair assessment. I edited to remove some details I guess were one step further than most other posters. The new coding thing is a separate 5 minute test, and I feel that giving folks a heads up is fair, since no one is gonna learn to code in a week for a random 5 minute test at the end of the whole application process anyways

Thank you @pretty new I appreciate that. Yeah the coding part kinda caught me off-guard but luckily it was pretty straightforward

Hi, is the coding part difficult? Are there any coding language restrictions? Thanks!

 

[bambuu]

Hi! I thought it was fairly easy. Imo it is a very beginner friendly question. As for the language, the person there told me I could write pseudocode so I would worry more about the logic than the syntax.

Thanks a lot! May I ask whether you are interviewed f2f or by Skype?

 

[bambuu]

I interviewed in person

 

[hunterr]

How are the interviews going on today? Any surprises on the quant/coding part?

Could I know what language, to your knowledge, can be used in the 5 min test? I assume C++ and Python are all should be fine right?

Yes. Any language is fine.

Will anyone update it here if you hear back from MIT?

The results will only be out in mid March

 

[Anand Ghosh]

Oh great, 12thi guess

 

[nothingnew]

Oh great, 12thi guess

I have heard people receive phone call from them in the first week of March, which is about a week before March 12th

Oh in the interview they said all decisions will be sent on March 12th this year

it doesn't mean they won't call admitted students before they post information online. I have seen multiple posts about the phone call from chasedream and my advisor said applicants from prior years even receive rej in the end of Feb.

 

[Hguboston]

Heyy has anyone received phone calls or emails from admission yet? I heard last year acceptance calls were out around March 5th.

Done done
