missed interview deadline. any chance of still getting one?

I wasn’t sure until now that I want to apply to MIT because of how selective they are. However I recently worked at an NGO and the CEO I worked with said he knows the MIT interviewer for our city. Since MIT want people who have made inroads in engineering already this is a great opportunity since I worked on setting up water purifiers with this NGO and since the interviewers knows of this NGO personally then it could give me boost. Should I email MIT and ask if it’s possible to still get an interview even if the December 20th deadline has passed. I’m going to set up the MyMIT account today.

I’ve heard that all available interview slots have been filled, but it couldn’t hurt to ask. They might appreciate your determination.

@violingirl15 hey so I just made the MyMIT. and it says

(Please note: it can take up to 20 minutes for the system to assign you to an Educational Counselor. At that time, you will need to log out and then log back in to see your assignment. Please contact your EC to schedule an interview as soon as possible thereafter. Thank you!)

will they assign me someone even if i just made the account? like the automatic CC based on my school or area?
cus if it’s my boss’s friend then I could always ask him to make an exception.

I’m sorry, but I don’t know. I guess you could talk to your boss’s friend or something, but I am not sure. Good luck!

The deadline was December 10. Perhaps you could just contact MIT and ask them?
