MIT Launch 2018

lmao do yall know wat it means if i get a response needed email but no interview ? they never even reviewed my video yet ;-;

Hey guys I went to Launch last year. Don’t worry if you have not gotten an interview request yet! They come out on a rolling basis.

@Tps237 and @runnerrb - you are both alumni. Once you’ve had an interview how long till you find out whether or not you get accepted? Are those decisions rolling also? Also, what does it mean to be moved to “Final Review”?

@runnerrb will they review everyone’s video? Or if don’t like my portfolio just skip mine? Also, it looks someone already viewed video but didn’t give me any invitation, does that mean I’m out? Sorry kinda freaking out lol.

Sorry I have a lot of typos I don’t know why

I’m not sure, but I’m guessing they probably sent out the email about location preference to give people a second chance just for in case you don’t get it through the first round. Not exactly sure, but it seems like people who got an interview didn’t get the email (but @xinyuchen did so :confused: )…?

Did anyone not get the location preference email? Did anyone who got the interview get that email? That could help clear up some things :slight_smile:

thing is, they never viewed my video, so i dont think the email is for a “second chance.” plus, its literally just ranking locations it doesnt do much to add or detract from someones app

am I the only one who didn’t get that email then? :confused:

wait in your application portal where it lists the status with application under review and everything, does it have an email notification about location change there?

it goes in chronological order. it wuz early review, and then email, and then moved to final review

when you click on the email notification, does it specifically mention marking location preferences?

On the portal, it says RS next to my name . isnt it supposed to be EA because i applied in early application.

RA*

I think they will ultimately give everybody that mail…because in EA application there’s no UPenn to choose.

I think there’s no actual correlation between the interview and the mail.

19 January

@preciouscanoe yes it does

Did anyone NOT get the location preference email?

I’m just curious, so right after you submit what is the first status yours says? Because mine says moved to regular -special review round so I’m guessing that’s what it is. Also, check your spam because I’ve seen forums where people have gotten decisions in their spam email.

@Businessnerd21 are you EA or regular? I don’t think they’d release it this early, probably end of February
