MIT Alumni Interview
Interviewer
Tell me about something technical you've built or figured out on your own — not for school, just because you wanted to.

I got frustrated with how slow my school's Wi-Fi was, so I built a network monitor using a Raspberry Pi that logged signal strength and packet loss over time. Turns out the bottleneck was the router placement, not the ISP...
Interviewer
Nice. Did you end up doing anything with that data, or was figuring it out the interesting part?

What MIT alumni interviews look like

MIT interviews are conducted by Educational Counsellors — alumni volunteers who are assessing fit and passion, not polished answers.

Intellectual Curiosity

What are you obsessed with? What have you taught yourself? MIT interviewers want to find people who pursue ideas beyond what's assigned.

Maker & Builder Mindset

What have you built, coded, designed, or hacked together? MIT's culture is hands-on — applicants who've made things stand out.

Collaboration & Community

How do you work with others? MIT cares deeply about students who contribute to the community, not just excel individually.
