MIT Interview

Hi! I’m an MIT EA applicant for the 2019-2020 cycle.

I live overseas (i.e. not in the US) and it’s Nov 11th here right now. I am getting a little anxious bc so far I haven’t been contacted for an interview. Should I be worried? I thought to give it a bit more time, but I heard that there’s a deadline (for interviewers) to conduct interviews—the Thanksgiving—and that’s actually coming up pretty soon.

Overseas interviews are based on availability of alumni Educational Counselors (ECs) in your area. Remember that interviews are useful but not required.

Just curious: when did you submit your application? The earlier you submitted it, the more time you give ECs in your area to fit an interview into their schedules.
