haha, you misunderstood. I was not referring you as anyone I knew. I was merely wondering if offers are sent in alphabetical order, since you received it earlier than most of us did. Anyway, congrats on the offers and good luck to you.

Does your surname start with 'A'? I wonder in what order do they send out acceptance letter. By the way, mine starts with 'M'. I haven't heard from them yet. Hope for the best. Good luck to you all.

Thanks for the verification. I wonder why they didn't send out rejections all together... are there anyone who actually got admitted? I still haven't heard anything from them yet... Regarding selection of schools. I think it really depends on your career goals. If you want to be a professor, then you should aim for top ranked schools. However, if you would like to find an industrial job, then the location of the school is the most important. School like UT Austin may have more job opportunities than Cornell, since Austin is a very large city. It's only my two cents.

Anyone heard from MIT ORC operations research masters program? There is a rejection post on the results page, anyone could kindly verify that? I haven't heard anything from ORC......
