MIT Launch Summer Program 2016

@radiorocket It really varies person to person, for me, I freaked out because I didn’t find out until weeks after. Had my interview January 21 and did not received acceptance until official admission decisions released

Ok thanks so much. Are you session 1 or 2? @DrScienceScD

@radiorocket No problem, feel free to PM me with any questions if you don’t want to ask here. Session 1.

@anniemit are interviews still being given out? Everyone I know who applied got one :confused:
And I still haven’t received one.

@kidnextdoor same :frowning: I still haven’t gotten one. I think it’s over for us

I wouldn’t give up hopes yet. I applied RD on February 15th, and I just received an alert about an interview this morning. I’m guessing they most likely received an influx of applicants this year and may be a bit behind.

Interview in around an hour and a half. Pretty nervous.

@articlez congrats! and @aabraham good luck!

Still waiting for my interview notice :frowning:

Interview went pretty well, Leah was really nice. It was mostly about my activities, as someone else mentioned

How selective are the interviews?

@thekidnextdoor Not everyone gets one. Define selectivity.

Ya I got my interview 3 days back so don’t give up your hopes yet!

Hey everyone! I have a few questions that I’m wondering about…

If you do end up getting an interview, do you get notified of acceptance to the program before the notification date?

Will applicants be notified of acceptance before the notification date?

Thanks!

Hi @Treeroot some are notified of the acceptance before the official date, some aren’t. It depends.

I meant like how selective, like do 20% of the applicants get one or something? Do we have some past stats of Launch?

@thekidnextdoor They do not release statistics regarding that.

Just accepted to Session 2 RD! Let me know if any of you will be attending Session 2 this summer :slight_smile: Looking forward to meeting you all!

I haven’t gotten an interview yet and admissions are released on April 15. Does that probably mean that I won’t get accepted?

Accepted to session 1, anyone wanna start a group chat or something?

@pswimmer Sure
