I applied to MIT via regular decision but just got an email about an early decision interview. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a mistake or should I expect an interview?
There may have been confusion in your situation because MIT does not offer an Early Decision program, but rather employs an Early Action admissions timeline. It's possible that the invitation for an "Early Decision" interview is purely a misnomer and reflects scheduling for an early interview in the Regular Decision timeline.
However, mistakes can certainly happen in the process. Importantly, if you're chosen for an interview at MIT, it does not indicate any particular status of your application, as they aim to provide as many interviews as possible.
I'd advise to get in touch with the admissions office or the MIT Educational Council directly. They'll be able to help clarify why you've received this message and correct any potential mix-up in interview scheduling. Make sure to have your application information readily available in case they need to verify your details. Best of luck in your application journey!
