Interview

I am really interested on giving the MIT interview. I’m applying under early action for fall 2017.
My interview has been waived . I live in Chandigarh. Does that anyways affect my admission chances as i believe interview might have conveyed more than the application.

@Sabhyata are you able to do a Skype interview?

I asked the admissions office but they said it is not possible and that my interview is waived. I know it sounds stupid but many MIT blogs say that you shouldn’t write lengthy essays as it freaks the admission officers. My profile is good . So i fear that the lenghty essays might really reduce my chances as this means a lot to me… Thank you for your help.

*I’m talking about skype interview

@Sabhyata your chances are going to be very low regardless, since you’re applying to MIT presumably as an international student.

But yes, don’t write more than the word limit. This may involve having to tweak your essays a bit.
