Wait, did you get it? There are only ~20 winners, I"m sure it wouldn't take them too long to call all of them.

I'm pretty nervous, this is a pretty great fellowship. Extremely slim chances though: < 4%.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY kill me now. Hey all you who got in, what was your cumulative GPA?

Hahaha! MIT support group!!!! Yeah, myself and a few people I know are reallllllly fucking bummed. I did research at MIT over the summer in the MSE department, I have publications in JACS and one first-author upcoming in PRL and conference presentations at the APS and TMS, but my GPA was a little low (3.6 cumulative, 3.81 MSE - is that low?!?!). BLARHHGHGHGHAHH That being said, it seems like results are still trickling out http://thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=mit+materials. Also, worse comes to worse, hopefully a successful fellowship app can still pull us through.

It seems like MIT MSE admissions are coming out. I haven't gotten a reply yet :((:(:(:(:( http://thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=mit+materials

LoL it seems like you're psychology concentration? How does that work?? Haha

I got the official acceptance email from Northwestern. The visit dates are March 5th and 12th I think. Did you get the phone call from the professor? If so you should be getting the email soon. This year, 500 people applied to Northwestern, and each class is only about 40 people, so I imagine the acceptance rate is pretty low. Did anyone find out or hear from MIT yet?!?!? When do they respond??
