AngryRobot!

Hi all, I got two offer this year and I just declined one. The coordinator replied that "Do you mind telling me which program are you attending?" I am sure they are just collecting data. However I do mind a little tell the exact program that I am attending. On the other hand though, they really invest a lot in my interview trip and I kinda feel bad not telling them. Any suggestion will help. My field is biological science with emphasis on systems and computational modelling.

hahahahaahah

Yeah well at least you already started writing。

Thank you for your answer. The application deadline was December and I wrote this post just to comment on the situation and wondering if anyone knows why MIT prefer IELTS over TOEFL. You can see here http://web.mit.edu/admissions/graduate/pdfs/MIT_department_info.pdf the information of all graduate programs 2016. Page 18 indicated preference of IELTS overall and lots of programs prefer IELTS or not accepting TOEFL. It is not important. I am just curious. I was able to apply to two programs accepting TOEFLs anyway.

Why is Iowa Caucus even important? It does not even assign delegates. People are so anxious.

I dont know if it is very possible to let someone else take TOEFL. After all you will be pictured on site. But it is true that in some country, people violate what they sign at the beginning of the TOEFL test that they will not release the test questions by memory afterwards. You can easily find memorized TOEFL questions online.

The link you provided is a overall requirement. If you download the brochure of graduate programs, you will see that the prefer IELTS overall, with programs such as mechanical engineering, bioengineering does not accept TOEFL at all. I personally was going to apply Bioengineering and then realized that they indicate they do not accept TOEFL explicitly and by then I do not have enough time to do it. Though it is not that I would have a shot in MIT by any chance.

MIT EE out yet?

Have you been admitted by both?

I do not understand "faux pas" and "terse". What a vocabulary.

which weekend?

@FeelTheBern Is he being angry or just shocked?

How about "Thank You Note"?

There was one on Sunday. But was sent by POI and it was an interview.

Very good suggestion. So what would be a proper title?
