Hey,

I think I may have a good news for you. At least, I am counting on it as a potential end of waiting for MIT EECS results for myself.

I've been brouwsing the calender of the EECS department and they've got grad. admissions roundup planned from the 1st to the 3rd of Feb. So, yeah, I am guessing the week after that we should get our results. Fingers crossed :unsure:

By the way, did you see an entire string of accepts in the Physics department? All phDs I believe. I looks like MIT really needs physists at the moment, unless it was just one overjoyed person repeat-posting :)

Hey Fleur, yeah good news it is! and I couldnot hope more to hope to have the result by the end of next week :) as the first release consists of the admits...

and lol about your comment(you missed biology though) , I guess I would also fall a prey to the 'overjoyed repeat syndrome' if I get an admit ...

@Fleur I guess for applicants with M.S. degrees, to have 2 conference papers is also good, but if you are an undergrad with 2 conference publications( with decent GPA), then 99% you will be admitted. So it's good to specify. By the way, I will be applying to area1 next fall. hope to see you there. Good luck.

@tjc I specialise in signal processing, more specifically computer vision. I believe signal processing was one of the area names, right?

Wow, you are an undergrad with two conference papers? Impressive! Are they major international conferences?

Btw, has everyone on this thread except zhangerpai applied to start in the fall of 2012? I see some posters with application season Fall 2011, which would mean starting september last year. Perhaps, the term "application season" is confusing...

yeah I guess there was one 'research field' in the application option but I guess you'd fall in Artificial Intelligence if machine learning is your thing, atleast in MIT terminology your area should be area II, while the first-choice research field would be AI.... confusing isnt it? ... :P

thx and well yes the conferences are well-reputed....

You are spot on actually. I checked and I did in fact put AI as my primary research interest on the application (with signal processing as my optional second ). At the time, I was doubting whether I should swap SP and AI in the list of my research interests as SP seemed broader but at the end I figured as you did.

So, according to our prognosis, the results are next week... Good luck!

My profile:

Engineer Computer

Engineer Electronics 5 years degree each

Only person in my college who got both achieved in 6

Working software engineer in HP and Ericsson Irelend (created algorithm to retrieve information)

Extracurriculars: National champion of chess at 14, got from Patagonia, 14 years nobody in the region (This can help as a grad???)

Triathlon

GPA: low 77% more or less

Adittional: Asperger's syndrome

What do you think? I am so nevous, to be honest I have no research experience but the true is that such a thing doesnt exist in my country (at least seriously) I didnt put that of course. Low GPA, I believe I would have an excellent profile if I where undergrad.

But as a grad chess achievement doesnt matter at all????

I would appreciate any idea,

As many have said before, to make it at the Top 10 (or at least to the Top 5), you need prior research experience.

Yes, in an email to admission officer,

Yes, I know, but how the someone can get research experience in a country when there is no research and when you want to

get a job outside they dont let you because work permit status. Thats is disgusting
