hey guys, did anyone apply to the MIT/WHOI joint program in oceanography, and if so has anyone heard back yet?

Invites went out a week or two ago to at least some people. I don't know about this year, but most years they go out over a period of a week or so, and are often preceeded by an informal call from the sponsoring PI. The latest the initial invites go out is late February because the visiting weekend is early March. Some years there are a few additional invites in the Spring after others decline their offers. My understanding is that there are about 25 invites this year with an expected enrollment of 15 or so across all departments.

In case you are still lurking, as of last week all invites for visiting weekend were out, including some "late" choices. Not to say more acceptances can't come later, but if you haven't heard yet I wouldn't expect to hear more until the second week of March.
