Sorry, I've never done this before and have had a hard time tracking this information down. I've applied to the top 5 aerospace engineering programs: Stanford, MIT, Caltech, GA Tech, and Michigan.
-For those who have applied to these schools in the past, when do letters of acceptance/rejection get sent out? January? February? March?
-Are they acceptance letters or invitations to interview? I've heard that the schools will fly you in on a weekend and you get to tour the departments and meet professors. Am I already accepted for sure at this point and I'm just trying to get paired up with a specific lab/professor? Or is it more of an interview and I'm only accepted if I am positively paired with a prof/lab.
Thanks a lot for any bits of advice/experience.
