I got the same wording. In another thread (the acceptances thread, I think) it seemed that there was an "alternate" list for assistantships, so maybe there are three tiers of accepted students? If that's the case, I wonder exactly how far down the list we are for funding

Just checked... still says "under review"

Man, phone calls with POI's can be pretty awkward! Especially when they somehow magically call you the moment you step out of the shower/are asleep. Maybe we should start another thread with some intelligent questions to ask on calls/grad visits? I feel like I am opening my mouth and out comes "uh. I like school. How is school?"

Not to confirm any cultural stereotypes, but it varies according to how drunk we are.  
 
Are there any other Aussies on here, lurking perhaps?  Would be interested to hear from you, compare notes.  
 
From my perspective, it seems the American universities don't like to tell people 'no'.  Of the six I applied to, 4 are dark and I've still not heard from Chicago or MIT.  Just put me out of my misery.......

Hahaha.  That's cute.

also can we take a moment to appreciate how silly and old the Massachusetts Institute of TECHNOLOGY's application site is?
