Did anyone here already finish their interview? What were the interview questions like? Or like just how it went in general
Were notifications for interviews sent for RD?
I think theyāre sending them out around this time, I got mine about a week agoā¦
I know that they are no longer part of MIT but does MIT still host them? Also, do you know where the link is to the A2C post? I got in to launch x but they are making me pay so fast I am worried that they are just another cash cow.
Wait you received the acceptance already ?! (Or were you ED)
IDK if they still have an MIT campus but for the a2c post, just go on to r/a2c and search
āexposing launchxā
Yes. I did RD but they still just gave me my decision during early March. Iām not sure why. Have you been interviewed yet? If you havenāt that might be why. I would have preferred that they waited until April.
My interviewās scheduled for the 18th so yeahā¦but wow you got your interview request pretty early too
@wwww6688 Do you remember what kind of interview questions you were asked? Like were they they the generic ones āIntroduce yourselfāā¦etc. or were there other ones as well?
Yeah, I was definitely asked to introduce myself as the first question. I think some other things whey asked were like to describe a time where you handled a team situation poorly. They also asked questions about what you hope to get from Launch X and your passion for entrepreneurism. I think you are interviewed by alumni so I think they all ask pretty much the same questions. If you are confident and honest it will help a lot. Hope that helps and good luck!
@wwcherry I was able to find the A2C post. It seems like there may have been a decline in quality over the years but from what I have heard it is still kind of prestigious and is educational. Are you planning on going to Launch X if you get in or are you applying to other places as well?
@wwww6688 Thank you so much! If I do get in to LaunchX Iām probably going to go (I did apply to other places but Iām pretty certain Iām not going to get in)
Does anyone who applied RD still not get an email scheduling an interview? I still didnāt hear from them (Iām from NY)
Anyone who did the interview? Iām gonna do mine next week, so could you guys give me some info? Who did you do it with? What questions were being asked? Did they ask a lot about your activities?
I did the interview a couple days ago, and there wasnāt anything too surprising. The questions were basically introduce yourself, describe a time you handled a team situation poorly, describe how you handled negative feedback, what you would do with feedback, why LaunchX and entrepreneurship. I donāt think the interviewer had access to the rest of my application, and she told me she would basically be typing up a report to send to the other AOs (sorta like how college apps work) so there werenāt any questions specifically regarding an extracurricular I talked about/was on my app
The previous posts and threads were also really helpful for prep
Thank you so much! Iām really nervous about my interview since LaunchX is a prestigious and competitive program. Do you think the interview has a big impact on acceptance?
I havenāt gotten an interview request yet
Iām not really sure but what Iāve seemed to get from previous threads is as long as you come across confident and passionate and really have a drive it should be fine.
