I also got a email to fill out my location preference. ? @kimbokjoo did you also receive an email like this?
Also I think that interviews do matter because from what I’ve seen no one has gotten in without doing an interview.
@kimbokjoo nooo youre fine! i just think my accomplishments arent “flexable” enough and people might doubt my acceptance if i get in. its completely okay to flex something youve earned from hard work! anyways i have my interview on friday wish me luck 
it’s kind of unfair that they’re now asking for location preference after the application process. i got accepted earlier before they changed it, and i got the most inconvenient date/location for me. the thing is i already paid the deposit, so even if they gave me the chance to put in my preference, i dont think they’d let me.
@M4ndat0ry no I was accepted into UPenn, they didn’t send out the email. But pretty sure this is a new thing they’re doing, sending out the location preferences.
@notaloner good luck on ur interview! Stay calm :)))
Yeah I agree @helpmetocollege im gonna try emailing them for another location. Kinda not cool for paying nearly 10k for a camp. Would expect at least a little accommodation
@kimbokjoo let me know what they say! and did you already pay for your deposit?
Hey y’all. I just got an email asking me to specify my location preferences. Could anyone tell me what this means in terms of my decision status? Thanks!
Messaged LaunchX on Instagram, they said anyone who got an interview request will also get a location preference request, doesn’t signify if you got accepted or rejected unfortunately. Still find it weird that they are asking the preferences of people if they don’t even know if they will get accepted tho 
That does seem odd indeed. In their reply, did they specifically say that it doesn’t signify you of your decision status or they did just say that anyone who got an interview got a location request? Thanks!
I think that LaunchX is sending out location requests to all applicants to try and make sure that everyone’s needs are met, but I don’t think that it’s something that will factor. I’ll message the LaunchX team and see if I can get a clarification on this.
@helpmetocollege Send them an email at info@launchx.com and see what they can do for you. I think that they’re really trying to make the process as fair as possible for everyone, so there’s no harm in giving it a try.
@abcxyz2021 There were 64 students in my session, but things could have changed since then.
Thank you @claireoxner
Have my interview scheduled for tonight at 9pm… email says its Eastern Daylight Time, but no states are in daylight saving right now? Not sure if I’m to expect the interview at 8pm ET or 9 pm ET.
@Nburnzy It’s at whatever the time difference from ET is for you. Also your interviewer should text you 10min before your interview, at least that’s what mine did.
my interviewer didnt text me
It seriously depends from interviewer to interviewer, mine asked me if I wanted to start 10 minutes earlier when I just sat in front of my phone.
Also, I got accepted to the Cambridge/Boston location, where my MIT people at?
@techn0logical Same here!
I was just accepted into UMich session 1! Super excited!!
