Starting a MIT Launch thread for y’all next year. Launch '17 alum here. Hmu if you have any questions!
My S in sophomore year is planning to apply for 2018. but he has no experience running any business except that he attended a short entrepreneur summer camp and did an internship with a professor at a business school. any chance for him? thanks
Yes of course he has a chance. It is not a necessity to have started a buisness. You are right that a lot of people do, and thats good, but it is not required. Launch cares more about your initative, grit, determination, and perseverence. They want to see you push yourself outside of your comfort zone and take leadership in whatever opportunities he has. Good luck!
When does registration open? And I can’t access the website because of a “privacy error”. Anyone know anything about that?
The website has been updated
http://www.launchx.com/
Is it just going to be Launch now? It seems like they’re hosting the program at a few other campuses, I guess it won’t be “MIT Launch” anymore. Sounds cool though!
It is going to be LaunchX. There will be LaunchX Summer Program, LaunchX Clubs, and an online course.
Hello, would you happen to know if Launch X is a full replacement for MIT Launch? And, do you happen to have any idea about proposed locations for the newly formed Launch X? Would students have to option to apply to more than one location? Thanks so much !
LaunchX will still have its summer program at MIT. They may expand into other universities. When you apply, I believe you can pick your preferred location. You will be applying to all campuses, but you will only be accepted into one. That is the way it worked for the time they had 2 sessions at MIT.
Does it help with college admission? Hurt?
Probably pulls some weight as it is a reputable program
Hi there! I am Ryan and I have a few questions. So I was denied last time I applied and will be applying early this time so I should have a better chance of being accepted. Do you think you can give you a draft of my video and attain some feedback?
@Mchargueryan sure.
Hi Im applying for Launch next year, however in the application for the builder brander portfolio it says prerequisites not met. Any idea why?
How generous is the financial aid?
They are very generous
The early application deadlines are closing soon but on the Launch site it says that the dates for the session at MIT will be announce soon… In order to complete the app I have to chose a session but I have other potential summer plans… What should I do? Should I apply regular? Also, when do they generally release the session info? Also could ou give some general tips for applying?
Session 1 is generally from June to July while session 2 is July to August. I find that if you go to public schools on the east coast, you generally can only attend session 2 since session 1 cuts into finals.
tips, well be energetic in our video.
Do you know if the programs at Northwestern and MIT are the same? If not, which one is better?
Also, what is the difference between early admissions and regular admissions?
