MIT: Master Interview Thread

<p>I guess that would be fine…thanks!</p>

<p>Should we thank the interviewer? Like sending her an email ?</p>

<p>you dont have too, I guess it would be curtesy above all right?</p>

<p>It’s always nice to thank your interviewer</p>

<p>Sorry if this is a stupid question, but are we supposed to have finished our interviews before January 1st (if we are applying RD)?</p>

<p>There’s no hard deadline for the date by which the interview must be held, but earlier is better – your EC needs time to write and submit your interview report to MIT.</p>

<p>The deadline to contact your EC is December 10 for RD, and I suspect that most ECs will try to schedule the interview much in advance of January 1, if at all possible.</p>

<p>Hey guys. I’m another aspiring MIT person, student, whatever. I haven’t scheduled an interview yet (I need to get on that, and fast!) but I was wondering if any of you guys live in CA and have Mr. Garret Moose as the interviewer?</p>

<p>From everywhere that i read, the deadline for scheduling the interview for the regular action admissions is December 10th. But on my.mit.edu, when i went under application tracking here’s what i found!! Whats going on?!</p>

<p>“Interview Not Processed The deadline to schedule your interview has passed. You may still contact your Educational Counselor with any questions about MIT; he or she may also have a last-minute opening. If you completed your interview and we have not received the report, please fill out a Conducted Interview form. We will follow up with your Educational Counselor.”</p>

<p>Perhaps it is an EA glitch - meaning it hasn’t been changed for RD?</p>

<p>contact anyways…probably a glitch</p>

<p>The deadline for contacting your interviewer for RD is December 10. Go ahead and contact your interviewer.</p>

<p>I tried and unfortunately he hasn’t responded back. I emailed him about a week ago, and i left him a voicemail at his work phone number (since it was the one provided). If he doesn’t respond by tomorrow, does anyone have suggestions about what to do?</p>

<p>maybe contact MIT and ask for an EC switch</p>

<p>Let MIT know before the deadline that you have contacted your EC via phone and e-mail but have not recieved a response. I think the deadline is for actually making contact (which you have met) Not for the actual interview (Mollie can you verify?)</p>

<p>Right, it’s the deadline for contacting the EC, and even that can be flexible given the right set of circumstances.</p>

<p>Let me send an email to Kim, the director of the ECs, and see what her advice is.</p>

<p>EDIT: Sent the email. We’ll give her some time to answer – she’s probably very busy around this time of year. :)</p>

<p>Why not try & call him again. And send another email.</p>

<p>I tried again, however no luck. I did some more research, and apparently I should have given a minimum of 2 weeks for the EC to respond back. Seeing as how this deadline is rapidly approaching though, I think i’m going to call MIT tomorrow and see what i can do.</p>

<p>This appears to be what you are doing (or did already), but Kim confirms:

I hope you were able to find another EC today!</p>

<p>Son’s interview was waived due to distance (about 3 hours)
What is son required to do at this point to notify MIT. Should he forward the e-mail to admissions? How does he make sure admissions knows the interview was waived by the EC?</p>

<p>Yea, I emailed MIT on Thursday night and they responded back by Friday. They gave me the information of another EC, and I will be contacting her shortly. Thanks for the help everyone.</p>
