MIT Launch 2017

I have heard only a select few get notified if they are admitted before the deadline. Most find out on the day admission results are supposed to come out I believe. @ZNanoKnight

@runnerrb Thanks. Do you know what % of interview recipients get in? Even an educated approximation helps

I applied regular 10 days before the deadline. I haven’t got the interview request yet. Do you think there is still a posibility?

I have a view on my YouTube video - but no interview request or anything yet @Brunov. Hopefully I didn’t miss an email.

I just had my interview this morning at 8 AM, and was just now notified that I got in! Session 1!! For those who are waiting, they still have interviews in April, so hang on there!

@annie4564 Ohh that was pretty quick! Congratulations. I have my interview tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Update: ACCEPTED INTO SESSION ONE! Interviewed Saturday 3/20, accepted today Tuesday 3/22.

@ZNanoKnight @annie4564 Congrats!!! I have mine tomorrow. What type of questions did you get asked?

@ZNanoKnight @annie4564 Also who interviewed you guys?

Marvin. He is super nice and cool! Normal interview questions. Be ready to talk about your entrepreneurial projects. @runnerrb

Has anyone still not received an interview request? I haven’t heard from the Launch team and am freaking out a little bit.

I haven’t either, @goodboi1

Are you in Session 2? My guess is they’re dishing out the Session 1 interviews + acceptances first, and then they’ll move on to Session 2.

@goodboi1 @alordos Don’t worry, I got a view from mit and got my interview request after 2-3 weeks. Also, I applied for both sessions.

how do i make sure i added the right person on skype? lol when i typed in my interviewer’s name 3 different skype users showed up >___< also don’t worry guys if you haven’t received an interview request yet!! they are probably still in the process of reviewing applications (i didnt get a view on my youtube video from them until today); hang in there!! :slight_smile:

I applied on 18 February (2days prior the deadline)…and haven’t received the interview yet. Its been more than a month… I am super super worried…

@crimsonbleeding2022 I just did the one with a profile picture

Received the interview notification today. Someone help me, I am so nervous. xD
Also, can anyone tell me what percentage of students interviewed get in?

@aryan096 Hi. I was interviewed and got accepted four days after into session one this year. Firstly, (I needed this advice), CHILL. You will come off as more confident and collected, but more importantly he won’t be asking you hard questions. Just stuff about yourself and what you will do for the camp. Secondly, realize that the interview is important but they also look at your transcript and all the other stuff in your app, so remember if you kill the interview you’re good! To answer your question, I have no idea lol but I think it’s pretty high.

@ZNanoKnight Thanks a lot! I think it went decent. Fingers crossed! I really hope they give the decisions before April 11th though.

Still haven’t gotten an interview or a view on my video yet, applied RD on the day of the deadline…should I be concerned?
