MIT Launch 2018

Decisions are rolling. I got mine 2 days after my interview. However, rejections do not come out early I believe, only on april 16th @yjliu

Hey Guys. I applied to LaunchX as well but I haven’t received an invitation for an interview yet… Is all hope lost for me?

So… that means if you don’t get accepte before the 16th, you are pretty much out, right? Or do they sent out acceptance on the 16th too?

@yjliu I got my acceptance on the last day that early admissions were being sent out

Is there anyone who got accepted but didn’t have an interview?

Do they respond to emails for you guys…I emailed them a while ago and no reply.

@baileyyyy yeah, I emailed them this morning and got a response about 30 minutes ago

@frostsnake What was the email about?

My MIT LaunchX website says my progress is still “regular round - under review”… I don’t have the mark that says “unassigned” like what some people here said. Does this mean that they still haven’t decided on my status yet? In other words, am I neither accepted or denied yet?

Weird question… what did you guys wear for your interview?

@slimegod it won’t matter, the interview is pretty casual/informal. My interviewer didn’t even have her face screen turned on.

Hey, I was accepted into the Launch Program, but was offered a position at U Penn. I really honored and absolutely ecstatic, but is there a difference between the two? Is one more selective than the other?

@JOOJOONOGHLI You get into Launch and then are placed according to space and preference in a way that the most people get their first and second choices. They theoretically should be the same, but I wouldn’t be supprised if MIT runs smoother than the rest. Also Penn is supposed to have the best prototyping facilities of the campuses offered.

Hey, guys, if you have not gotten an interview invitation request, don’t worry. It is evident that they are spreading them out, so you may get the invitation very late in the process. In fact, my friend applied to MIT Launch in 2016 and he got his invitation two days before admissions and deferrals were going to be released.

@ASDWizard Thanks so much man.

did anyone receive the april packet in the mail that they said they would send after acceptance?

I got my interview invitation, but there are no time slots available. Is it too late for me?

@preciouscanoe I received a packet of sorts from launch last month but it didn’t say anything particular about the program as such.

There will most likely be a new week of time slots going up so don’t worry.

Also, just out of curiosity when did you get the invitation?
