• This page outlines some general guidelines for Recruitment for the MSRED program.

  • See the section called RECRUITMENT in this wiki for more details.

 

Recruitment

Recruitment is a year-round process. See the  annual Recruitment Report, which outlines all recruitment-related activities.
 
See the Recruitment Folder in Dropbox for all related items.
Recruitment largely centers around advertisements for events and 'calls-to-action' (Apply Now!). 

The largest recruitment event is the Extended Open House, which you may find more information about under the 'Extended Open House' section of the 'Events' tab on this site.

Aside from this large event, most recruiting interactions are as follows:

  • Emails or Phone calls seeking more information/campus visit

  • In-person visits for a meeting with the Grad Officer, Grad Admin and/or Assistant

  • In-person visits for the day (sit in on a class, meet a student, meeting with the Grad Admin/Assistant)

    • These visits typical begin in October and end around Thanksgiving so students can get their feet under them when the first arrive in Aug/Sept, and can focus on their finals after Thanksgiving.

    • In the spring, visits begin in March (after admissions decisions are sent out, and continue until the end of April (again so students may focus on finals).

    • There may be visits in the summer, but they're less frequent.

Closing the GAAP

Closing the GAAP is the CRE's new Graduate Application Assistance Program (GAAP).
Prospective students are paired with current students, who advise them on their application.
You may find more information on the CRE's website here: https://cre.mit.edu/education/masters-program/admissions/closing-the-gaap/
