I believe rejections usually come via email. I am losing hope on MIT. Oh well, I have plenty of great choices, I won't be too upset when the rejections come in.

I am also interested in this thread.. Does anyone have info on the Old graduate college, or the new apartments that are to replace Butler?

I will be finishing my undergrad at OSU this semester - I have lived in Columbus for the past 3.5 years, and in Ohio for my entire life (minus summers out of state for the past 2 years). Feel free to PM me if you have questions. It's worth noting that I know nothing about the "party life" at OSU so if you want info on that or the LGBT status of Columbus I am not the person to ask since I simply don't know. I agree with iphi - a lot of those suburbs are very nice. Depending on how much you're willing to spend there are very nice areas to live in close to Columbus. I currently live in an apartment in Upper Arlington and the commute is definitely tolerable.

Yep, fingers crossed for MIT. Though I wouldn't be upset if they didn't admit me (I've gotten pretty lucky with the admits I have I think), it would be really nice.

Congrats! Did they and an email or did they call you?

congrats! I'm hoping for a phone call now haha

thanks argon tulips, when you say you heard from MIT, does that mean you were offered admission?

Early April I believe

Just got an email from Princeton!! I was worried about them because I only mentioned one prof in my personal statement, and he's the dept chair so he may not be taking students. Also for anyone wondering, Stanford's visit weekend is 3/5 to 3/7, and Princeton has two: Feb 20-21 and March 13-14

Speaking of hearing back, I just got an admission to Stanford. Very exciting!

Thanks everyone Lucky in the Sky (with diamonds): I don't think anyone has heard from Stanford yet. If someone has, they haven't posted here or submitted a result. I think that might be because they extended the deadline somewhat significantly.

Just got an email from Caltech! Very excited. Visiting weekend is February 27 - March 2.

Also, for anyone who is wondering, Minnesota's visiting weekends are: February 27 - March 1 and March 27 - March 29

Nope, I haven't heard from them. Have you?

I received a phone call from U Minnesota this morning (from the graduate program director) if anyone else applied there, good luck!

I saw someone submitted a decision from MIT. Did anyone else hear from them?

has anyone else heard from uc berkeley? I saw someone submitted a result, but I don't know anyone else who has heard back

Hmm I never got an email with the interview for Gates, but someone else at my uni who is applying to the same program got one on Friday.. looks like I won't be going to England next year, oh well

just submitted mine. I was hoping to hear back from my university's fellowship office for comments on my summary of goals, but alas, the NDSEG gets an uncommented draft.

I applied and received an offer of admission from Cambridge. Still haven't heard anything from the Gates.

I sent emails to every school I'm applying to asking about this, since I also took a couple community college classes while in high school. All but two of them (the two most competitive) did not want to see the community college transcripts.

all of my internships were research internships, so they went into "research experience" if they were not research oriented, then maybe they should go in group/leadership experience. I sent mine in the day after you, and my scores were delivered on Dec 3. I'd say you're probably fine. Just make sure to clarify that it is a submitted paper. I have one paper that is being written now, and I included it as "in preparation" - this is common practice afaik

I know you said you aren't sure about MIT but I know they have a PhD CEP program. They also have some LGO program that comes with a masters degree in engineering (field of your choice) and I believe an MBA.

I just noticed a somewhat significant typo in my personal statement.. I left a comment from my university's fellowship office that says "try condensing this down to one sentence" in the body of my text... I wonder if the reviewers will notice and mark me down for it.

I'd probably use the second set of scores, just to maximize your Q score.
