Other Undergraduate Researcher interview reviews for MIT
I reached out and had a short discussion with UROP supervisors, and it was a fairly smooth process. It was helpful that I luckily reached out to a very nice mentor who was accepting and encouraging.
Very casual for undergraduate positions, mostly conversation about past experiences, relevant skills, and a couple of technical questions to demonstrate your knowledge of the relevant field of research to which you're applying.

I applied through other source. I interviewed at MIT (Boston, MA) in Jan 2020
Interview
The interview process is kind of informal, with no real channels to get to cool research. You have to know or reach out to some professors in order to really get going.
